The demand for data centers is surging due to the rapid growth of artificial intelligence applications. Goldman Sachs Research forecasts a 50% increase in global power demand from data centers by 2027, potentially rising to 165% by 2030, largely driven by generative AI. Steve Altizer, CEO of Compu Dynamics, highlights the challenges this poses for the commercial real estate sector as end-user requirements evolve faster than traditional data center owners can adapt.
Altizer emphasizes the need for data centers to be designed with flexibility to accommodate future technological advancements, particularly in cooling systems. The industry is moving away from a one-size-fits-all approach, as companies like Nvidia push the boundaries of GPU technology. Compu Dynamics is investing in modular data centers to better meet the changing demands of users and ensure efficient operations.
