Although data centers may not make front page news, they serve a critical role as the infrastructure powering the most exciting developments in tech. While data centers were once known as small rooms housed on-site by business users, they have increasingly become extensive, centralized facilities managed by multinational operators. Many organizations rent data center capacity from a so-called colocation provider such as Equinix or Digital Realty, while others subscribe to cloud subscription services to take care of their storage and compute requirements. The global market was forecast to bring in 344 billion U.S. dollars in 2024, propelled by the adoption data intensive technologies.
