In this episode of Data Uncensored, Ash Young explains how Cachengo is capitalizing on a surprising trend: empty buildings. With commercial real estate facing record vacancies post-COVID and legacy data center hitting power limits, Cachengo sees massive opportunity in underutilized spaces.
Ash shared how Cachengo’s ultra-efficient infrastructure packs 640 servers and 16+ petabytes of storage into a single rack using just 7.5 kilowatts, compared to one server and half a petabyte using traditional systems. That kind of efficiency makes previously overlooked buildings not just viable, but ideal.
The conversation dives into storage evolution, power economics, and Ash’s take on blockchain, privacy, and the absurdity of modern digital life.
Interview conducted by Ryo Koyama, CEO of noBGP.
