Datacentre Operators Face Capacity Planning Challenges As AI Use Soars
ComputerWeekly, Wednesday, January 31st, 2024
A report by real estate consultancy JLL highlights the pressures datacentres operators are facing as they respond to the growing demand for artificial intelligence workloads
The impact the democratisation of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies is having on global demand for colocation capacity will force datacentre operators to rethink how they build and run their facilities.
That's according to a 24-page report by commercial real estate and investment management company JLL, which predicts the take-off of AI will cause global datacentre storage capacities to increase from 10.1ZB (zettabytes) in 2023 to 21ZB by 2027.
