What SDxCentral does

SDxCentral is a B2B digital media publication founded in 2012 and headquartered in London, focused on digital infrastructure coverage spanning AI, networking, cybersecurity, distributed infrastructure, telecom, silicon and supercomputing, and cloud and storage. The company distributes editorial content through its primary website (sdxcentral.com) organized across seven specialized topic channels, supplemented by email newsletters (SDxBriefing, SDxConfidential, and channel-specific monthly editions), video interviews, weekly long-form broadcasts, definitive guides (SDx Explainers), and themed supplements covering Storage, Sovereignty, Quantum, Cybersecurity, Telecoms, and Open RAN. Free account registration is required to access gated content, while a print and digital magazine extends the content surface.

The company generates revenue through two primary streams: advertising and sponsorship (sponsored content, whitepapers, supplements, and brand visibility targeting technology vendors) and membership/subscription content access (gated premium content, supplements, on-demand video library, and broadcast content). Pricing is not publicly disclosed. SDxCentral also operates a live events portfolio including the Xcelerated Compute Series (New York, London, Cancún), Yotta (Las Vegas), and editorial coverage of the AI Cities Summit, serving as a brand authority and audience engagement channel for digital infrastructure decision-makers.

Following its April 2025 acquisition by InfraXmedia, SDxCentral operates as a subsidiary alongside sister publications DatacenterDynamics and Data Center Nation. The 'SDxCentral 2.0' era, marked by its one-year anniversary in April 2026, emphasizes human-led editorial content over AI-generated material, expanded content formats, and deeper thematic supplements. The company serves technology and business professionals working in or adjacent to data center, cloud, networking, AI, cybersecurity, and telecom infrastructure sectors, with technology vendors and service providers as the secondary paying customer segment.
