Show Notes

Dave Cooper and Ben Boudreau from Zerra DC, formerly AGPDC; join us live at PTC Honolulu. Zerra is a Singapore-based hyperscale developer building sustainable, AI-ready campuses across Japan, Australia and India. Dave spent years designing hyperscale infrastructure at Microsoft and AWS before making the jump to build from scratch. In this conversation we get into what that transition actually looks like, the realities of powering AI workloads in constrained markets, behind-the-meter energy solutions, and why each APAC market presents a completely different puzzle. Episode 1 of our In Conversation series from PTC 2026.
