FULL EPISODE: Data Center Operations at Scale: Power, Connectivity, and AI Realities

In this episode of Built to Scale™ by FutureScaleX, host Dr. Kevin Pang sits down with Bob DeSantis, Co-Founder and Board Member of 365 Data Centers, to explore what truly underpins successful data center operations in a cloud- and AI-driven world. As AI adoption accelerates and digital infrastructure demand continues to surge, data centers are facing new pressures—not just around power, but around connectivity, integration, reliability, and operational discipline. Bob brings decades of experience across utilities, telecom, internet infrastructure, and data centers to unpack how these systems must work together to scale effectively. The conversation covers why bandwidth demand is now growing faster than power, how enterprise and hyperscale data centers are evolving along parallel growth paths, and why network-centric, hybrid models are becoming essential as AI workloads move closer to the edge. Bob DeSantis has over 40 years of leadership experience spanning public utilities, telecommunications, and data center infrastructure. Before co-founding 365 Data Centers in 2017, he co-founded Xand, growing the business tenfold before its sale. Under his leadership, 365 Data Centers expanded to 20 facilities and more than 80 network points of presence across the U.S., serving enterprise, cloud, and carrier customers with a disciplined, operations-first approach.
