Bill shares his personal journey, from immigrating to the U.S. as a Ukrainian refugee fleeing the Soviet Union, to becoming a leading voice in tech innovation and AI. The conversation opens with reflections on Ukraine\u2019s ongoing conflict and its impact on Bill\u2019s family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The discussion pivots to the explosive growth and renaissance in the data center sector, driven by surging AI demand. Raymond and Bill cover topics such as power constraints, rack density, the rise of liquid cooling, and the shift toward AI-powered solutions for enterprise and public sector challenges. Bill also explores practical AI use cases Apollo is delivering, from improved municipal services and sentiment analysis to cutting-edge applications in agriculture and finance. The episode offers an energetic, forward-looking perspective on the future of data center infrastructure and AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Note: This conversation was recorded in June; references to the Ukraine\u2013Russia conflict reflect the situation at that time and may not fully reflect the present moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"NYFDC BillKleyman Video 2\" width=\"910\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/UpzErwzpNYQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Timestamped Overview<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">00:00 Intro &amp; Bill\u2019s Background<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">07:10 Ukraine\/Russia: Defending Against Constant Assaults<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">12:54 Honor Ukraine&#8217;s Security Guarantees<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">14:02 Ukraine Conflict Outcome Scenarios<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">22:23 Military Concerns Over Peace Deal<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">25:14 Untapped Potential of Generative AI<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">26:38 Exploring AI&#8217;s Practical Applications<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">31:26 AI &amp; Data Centers&#8217; Power Demand<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">33:27 Powerful Shift in Data Centers<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">36:45 Leveling the Corporate Tech Playing Field<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">42:09 Reaching Next-Level Data Center Efficiency<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">45:12 AI Usecases&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">54:55 Scalable, Meaningful Infrastructure Partnership<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">56:21 Democratizing AI: Expanding Possibilities<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this episode, Raymond Hawkins welcomes back Bill (Vitaly) Kleyman\u2014CEO and founder of Apolo, industry thought leader, and data center prognosticator extraordinaire.
