With growing digital demand drivers, data creation is outpacing storage capacity, generating not only more need for data center construction, but also energy-efficient designs and locations.
Cloud Migration
Continued growth in e-commerce requires levels of scalability and efficiency that are challenging to achieve outside the public cloud. At the same time, generative AI’s rise intensifies demand for
cloud capacity.
5G’s share of mobile data traffic is forecast to grow to 76% in 2029, with augmented, virtual and mixed reality happening in the latter part of the period.
