Building an AI data center is only the beginning. Keeping it reliable is a responsibility that continues long after construction ends.
What does it actually take to build a multi-billion AI data center campus in rural North Dakota — on a fixed deadline, with no room for error?
A look inside the community conversations behind a new AI infrastructure project in Harwood, North Dakota — where residents have real questions and trust has to be earned face to face.
“The Space Between Delivery and Design,” Applied Digital takes viewers inside Polaris Forge 2, where construction is already moving and the technical fit-out is still being refined in real time.
There is a growing misconception that all AI data centers consume massive amounts of water for cooling. Applied Digital's do not.
We return to Polaris Forge 2 in Harwood, North Dakota, to follow how electricity moves through an AI Factory — from incoming utility power to the systems that protect, transform and ultimately distribute it to high-density AI infrastructure.
In Episode 6 of Behind the Build, "The Responsibility of Reliability," we visit Polaris Forge 2 in Harwood, North Dakota, with Brent Lundstrom, Applied Digital’s Site Director of Operations. A North Dakota native, Brent is preparing the team that will run the facility - and taking on a new chapter in his career close to home.
Partner with Applied Digital to develop infrastructure built for long-term performance.
