AIB Data Centers has appointed industry veteran Jason Burnett as Chief Operations Officer to oversee the firm's construction and infrastructure deployment. This leadership change coincides with a significant expansion of the company's power capacity to 120 megawatts.
Why it matters
As demand for artificial intelligence and high-performance computing intensifies, the company is scaling its infrastructure and leadership to support larger, modular data center projects.
AIB Data Centers grew its total contracted power capacity to 120 MW, up from 65 MW. The firm also secured a 12-year agreement to supply 50 MW to Nebius at its CLT1 campus.

The Tech Race
This development follows the industry-wide shift toward modular data center infrastructure to accelerate capacity delivery. The move positions AIB to better compete for long-term compute contracts by standardizing large-scale builds.
While this appointment focuses on infrastructure, the 50 MW capacity agreement with Nebius indicates that the CLT1 campus is scaling to meet immediate enterprise compute demand.
