Lumen Technologies, Inc. LUMN and Prometheus Hyperscale have collaborated to enhance connectivity for its energy-efficient data centers. This partnership addresses the surging demand for artificial intelligence (AI), big data and cloud computing while tackling environmental challenges within the AI industry. It underscores a shared commitment to innovation and environmental responsibility, setting a benchmark for the future of AI-driven data centers.
Prometheus Hyperscale is implementing Lumen's Private Connectivity Fabric (PCF), which includes optimized network routes, Dedicated Internet Access (DIA) and strong Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) protection. The expanded network will support high-density computing in Prometheus facilities, delivering scalable, efficient data centers aligned with renewable energy and carbon neutrality goals. Lumen's low-latency, high-performance infrastructure will meet the AI workload at its Wyoming (WY) facility and future U.S. centers.
Also, Prometheus has been at the forefront of integrating renewable energy, sustainable cooling systems and AI-driven energy optimization. Its Aspen, WY facility exemplifies its dedication to minimal environmental impact while delivering exceptional computational power for AI-driven enterprises.
Partnering with Lumen offers superior connectivity for AI workloads while maintaining its commitment to creating the world’s most sustainable data centers. Moreover, Prometheus' Evanston campus, set to be one of the largest data centers globally, will be unveiled by late 2026.

Increasing demand for Lumen's PCF solutions amid rapid AI proliferation has emerged as an encouraging development. Lumen has secured an additional $3 billion in incremental PCF deals, bringing the total to $8 billion in new PCF sales since June 2024. As AI needs surge, large companies across various industries urgently seek fiber capacity, which is becoming highly valuable and potentially scarce.
Lumen has been inking deals with tech giants for its PCF solutions. In November 2024, the company announced a collaboration with Alphabet’s GOOGL Google Cloud to power proactive data insights and AIOps across its network. Lumen has utilized Google Cloud’s databases, infrastructure and BigQuery data and analytics platform to create a Lumen Digital Twin for gaining insights across the Lumen network in real time. Alphabet has chosen Lumen to expand network capabilities for Google Cloud to cater to the increasing demand for its services and foster AI innovation.
