The global data center sector is set for rapid growth thanks to content, the cloud and AI, and real estate investors are keen to tap into a structural growth opportunity.

The mounting carbon footprint is pushing data centers toward sustainability, with edge computing expected to expand rapidly over the next decade to meet energy efficiency needs.

Data center owners and operators face increased pressure to run environmentally friendly facilities.

Edge computing could follow cloud as the next big trend in data center development.

The time is now to partner with hyperscalers globally at scale, says IPI Partners’ Matt A’Hearn.

A record year is just part of the story as the sector undergoes significant changes.
