Hyperscale meets hyperlocal: value in the data centre boom (PDF)
PDF Report: Explore how hyperscale public cloud, data centre economics and supply constraints are driving value in the data centre boom.
In brief:
- Data centres housing critical public cloud infrastructure in key hubs are fundamental for economic growth, catering to rapidly growing compute, network and storage needs.
- Public cloud services generate outstanding economics for hyperscalers — large cloud services providers that operate massive cloud infrastructure.
- Hyperscale public cloud data centre architecture is a fundamentally fixed infrastructure with significant switching costs and risks.
- Public cloud data centres in key hub locations are positively differentiated because of power and land constraints, as structural limitations on new power grid infrastructure and planning restrict additional supply in these high-barrier markets.
