The New Pillar of Infra: Data Centers Can Deliver More Computing Power While Improving Sustainability Pandemic marked a pivotal point for many data centers and digital infrastructure providers; more was expected of them, and they were able to deliver. To meet the rising demand for computing power and digital services, data centers had to expand. Their demand has grown from a few megawatts to over 800 megawatts today. This is expected to double in the next 4-5 years. Mumbai & Chennai are considered hubs for DCs due to the existing infrastructure. NCR and Hyderabad are emerging hotspots due to the policies concerning data infra.
Many new data centers are being built today at a location where customers can rent and share space as well as computing power. New technologies like 5G mobile networks, artificial intelligence (AI), and high-performance computing have increased data centers demand. However, meeting this demand is just the tip of the iceberg.
