The surge of artificial intelligence (AI), big data analytics, and cloud computing has created surging demand massive data centers.
Even though many of the platforms and services that we rely on for daily commerce, communication, and information storage work and exist “in the cloud,” they still require a significant physical footprint to house and secure the entire world’s personal, transactional, and miscellaneous information.
The global data center market is expected to reach approximately USD 624.07 billion by 2029. Additionally, McKinsey estimates that global demand for data center capacity could more than triple by 2030.
