Data centers are seeing unprecedented growth to meet heavy forecasted demand, driven by the AI revolution. Bubbling under the surface of these deals and announcements is a potential disaster for the industry, as supply chains struggle under the weight of enormous pressure.
To meet their goals and obligations, companies investing in AI will need rapid data center build-outs to ensure there is the required compute capacity to meet demand and make a return on their investments.
Global demand for data center capacity is expected to almost triple by 2030, but worldwide resource shortages are conspiring to delay data center projects across the globe. Power infrastructure construction, equipment manufacturing, and pure-play construction materials are all facing shortages and other supply issues.
