Data Centers Are Growing In Size And Number As AI Prompts Widespread Global Expansion
ITPro, Wednesday, January 15th, 2025
Generative AI continues to push up demand for more sites and increased capacity at physical locations
Data centers will continue to surge in both size and number according to early reports in 2025, building on the trend of outlooks published last year.
The average capacity of hyperscale data centers set to open between now and 2029 will be almost double that of current facilities, according to research from Synergy Research Group.
While the critical IT load of hyperscale data centers typically increases over time, Synergy said generative AI has supercharged that trend.
