Cloud computing and AI technology are causing rapid growth in the data center industry
The latest Global Data Center Outlook by JLL reveals that the data center industry is experiencing exponential growth due to the widespread use of cloud computing and artificial intelligence (AI). Hyperscale and edge computing are particularly in demand among investors.
What is driving growth in the data center industry?
The growth in the data center industry is primarily driven by the mass adoption of cloud computing and artificial intelligence (AI). The pandemic has accelerated the need for digital technology, leading to increased demand for data processing and storage solutions. Hyperscale and edge computing are particularly in demand, with the hyperscale market expected to grow by 20% from 2021 to 2026.
How is AI influencing data center demand?
AI is significantly influencing demand for data center facilities by increasing the need for computing power. With the rapid development of AI tools, the expectation is that by 2025, half of all cloud data centers will utilize AI, further driving the need for robust data infrastructure.
What challenges does the data center industry face?
The data center industry is facing a skills shortage as nearly half of the current workforce is approaching retirement, while younger workers lack the necessary technical skills to fill new roles. Additionally, there is increasing pressure for sustainability and transparency in climate mitigation efforts, as data centers account for approximately 2% of total U.S. electricity use.
