Power availability shapes future data center plans

Power constraints in the world’s largest data center hubs are now reshaping where hyperscalers plan their next wave of expansion, according to new analysis by DC Byte. The analysis tracks activity across more than 8,000 facilities and looks at how the geography of hyperscale growth is evolving in response to mounting infrastructure pressure. Hyperscalers are now securing power and land up to 24 to 36 months before delivery as constraints intensify in markets such as Northern Virginia, Frankfurt and Singapore. Vacancy in some mature hubs has fallen below one percent. These locations remain essential for connectivity and cloud service density,… [Continue Reading]
