Columbus Hosts First Nvidia HGX B200 AI Cluster, Scaling AI at the Aggregated Edge

In this episode of the Data Center Frontier Show, Matt Vincent sits down with Bill Bentley (Cologix) and Ken Patchett (Lambda) to discuss Columbus, Ohio’s first Nvidia HGX B200 AI cluster deployment.

The conversation dives into:

Why Columbus is emerging as a strategic hub for AI workloads in the Midwest.

How Lambda’s one-click clusters and Cologix’s interconnection-rich campus enable rapid provisioning, low-latency inference, and scalable enterprise AI.

Flexible GPU consumption models that lower entry barriers for startups and allow enterprises to scale efficiently.

Innovations in energy efficiency, cooling, and sustainability as data centers evolve to meet the demands of modern AI.

The impact on regional industries like healthcare, manufacturing, and logistics—and why this deployment is a repeatable playbook for future AI clusters.

Join us to hear how AI is being brought closer to the point of need, transforming the Midwest into a next-generation AI infrastructure hub.
