Hyperscale Data-Center Capacity On Pace To Triple Over Next Six Years
Network World, Friday, October 27,2023
AI hardware is expensive to acquire and operate, and many enterprise customers may opt to have hyperscalers do it for them.
The rush to embrace artificial intelligence, particularly generative AI, is going to drive hyperscale data-center providers like Google and Amazon to nearly triple their capacity over the next six years.
That's the conclusion from Synergy Research Group, which follows the data center market. In a new report, Synergy notes that while there are many exaggerated claims around AI, there is no doubt that generative AI is having a tremendous impact on IT markets.
