Dec. 17, 2024 The service provider’s Private Connectivity Fabric℠ will expand Prometheus' network capacity across its growing data center footprint. Lumen has been tapped by Prometheus Hyperscale to connect its data centers to meet growing AI data demands, illustrating how its connectivity message is resonating with the hyperscaler community grappling with new data capacity demands. Prometheus Hyperscale is deploying a Lumen Private Connectivity Fabric℠ solution, including new network routes built with Lumen next-generation wavelength services and Dedicated Internet Access (DIA) services with Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) protection on top. This expanded network will enable high-density computing in Prometheus facilities to deliver data center solutions while maintaining their commitment to renewable energy and carbon neutrality. Lumen networking technology will provide the low-latency, high-performance infrastructure critical to meet the demands of AI workloads, from training to inference, across Prometheus' facility in Wyoming and four future data centers in the western U.S. Founded as Wyoming Hyperscale in 2020, Prometheus sought Lumen networking solutions before launching its first development site in Aspen, WY. This facility integrates renewable energy sources, sustainable cooling systems, and AI-driven energy optimization, allowing for minimal environmental impact while delivering the computational power AI-driven enterprises demand. "AI is reshaping industries, but it must be done responsibly," said Trevor Neilson, president of Prometheus Hyperscale. "By joining forces with Lumen, we're able to offer our customers best-in-class connectivity to AI workloads while staying true to our mission of building the most sustainable data centers on the planet.” Set to come online in late 2026, Prometheus' data center campus in Evanston, Wyoming will be one of the biggest data centers in the world. Future data centers in Pueblo, Colorado; Fort Morgan, Colorado; Phoenix, Arizona; and Tucson, Arizona, will follow and be strategically designed to leverage clean energy resources and new technology.
