Ten years ago, data centers mainly focused on storing a large number of servers in predictable environments. The main priorities were capacity, reliability and redundancy, with little thought given to adaptability or efficiency. Moving forward to five years ago, users started demanding services that could scale based on their requirements - leading to a shift towards cloud computing. Today, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is pushing data centers to their limits due to the massive amount of generated data. JLL’s Data Centers 2024 Global Outlook report states that by 2027, AI advancement is projected to more than double the demand for global data center storage capacity.
