Data Center Knowledge, Friday, January 5th, 2024
Bill Kleyman flips the script with five bold anti-predictions for the data center industry in 2024.
I'm always impressed by the creativity of our editorial team. We try to do something new every year, and this year is no different. So, when the team came to me and asked me to create a fun list of data center 'un-predictions,' I was all over it.
We are all familiar with the massive growth in our industry. At a recent conference in Austin, I heard about single deal sizes in the 300 MW range. And that in the next year, we'll see 500 MW and even 1 GW opportunities to build digital infrastructure. But these predictions are pretty spot on. We'll see unprecedented growth in our industry with generative AI and LLMs.
