最新报道:Blackstone has replaced QTS Realty Trust CEO Chad Williams with Dan Bennewitz as part of a leadership shakeup amid the data center operator's aggressive expansion to meet surging AI demand. The private equity giant, which acquired QTS for $10 billion in 2021, is accelerating development of hyperscale facilities, with QTS recently securing $1.5 billion in debt financing. Bennewitz, previously QTS's COO, will lead the company's push into AI infrastructure, including a major new campus near Chicago. The move comes as data center operators race to accommodate power-hungry AI workloads, with industry leaders predicting the sector will double its power consumption by 2026.
