NVIDIA GTC 2026: Data Centers Are Back, and They’re Pushing the Limits on Storage and Power Consumption
Traditional, on-premises data centers are having a major resurgence as organizations encounter new challenges with the volume of data generated for artificial intelligence. Across industry segments, IT leaders are beefing up their data centers with storage solutions, server racks and GPUs, much of which is intended to accommodate AI use cases designed to deliver cost savings and efficiency.
At NVIDIA GTC 2026, vendors including IBM Storage, Vertiv, VAST Data and Schneider Electric shared how their offerings are enabling enterprise organizations to manage data securely and sustainably. They’re allowing their customers to unlock the value of their data and drive innovation at scale. And they’re doing it in ways that allow for careful and responsible management of power consumption.
