In the era of big data, where technology is ubiquitous, data centres have become essential to our daily lives. The rise of remote working, as well as online learning, evolving consumption patterns and increased digitisation in general mean that we need to share and store data more quickly.
Various types of data centres are therefore developing, from mega facilities to smaller, local and modular forms of data hosting. Purchasing land is becoming increasingly difficult for businesses. Data centres are more secure, including in relation to climate events, and are committing to accounting for their environmental footprint – particularly by reducing their energy consumption.
