Artificial Intelligence (AI) is changing not only the digital world but also the physical infrastructure of data centers and computer rooms. AI applications like ChatGPT and Copilot, along with increasingly powerful GPU servers, are driving explosive growth in computing power and energy consumption. Meanwhile, the digital foundation is faltering, as the demanding demands of all these new technologies place a heavy burden on existing IT infrastructure.

The Netherlands cannot progress without a reliable digital infrastructure
November 19, 2025
IT is the heart of every organization. The IT infrastructure keeps this heart pumping: servers, networks, cooling, and backup power keep all systems running. It's much more than just a collection of fiber optics, storage, and cloud solutions. It's the lifeblood that connects all digital processes. In data centers, the core of every IT operation, this is even more evident. Customers count on applications being stable, reliable, and continuously available.
In practice, that reliability is under pressure. Think of grid congestion, new regulations, and cyber threats. The newspapers are full of it. The core of the problem is that many companies don't have a long-term strategy for their IT infrastructure. In 2020, you might have gotten away with it, but by 2025, the demand for data will have exploded to such an extent that a scalable infrastructure is a strict requirement for every company, whether that's a local corporate server room or an internationally operating data center.
Experts, suppliers, and end users will discuss this reality at the IT Infra 2025 event, taking place on November 26th in 's-Hertogenbosch. Hot topics like data sovereignty, AI, grid congestion, and sustainable renovation are on the agenda. There will also be technical presentations on topics such as Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS), extended reach, and cybersecurity in physical IT environments. We're not shying away from any topic! The common thread? How do we build a future-proof IT infrastructure together?
