Data centers are everywhere in 2025, but most leaders don't understand them. The AI data center market will grow 271% by 2034. Here's your beginner's guide.
Thanks, Tim, this is a fantastic post that really highlights the need and importance of data centre hubs for the whole of AI infrastructure. However, do you think there's an alternative that might result in less of a need for these centres, for example, with the advent of quantum computing?
Why did I sell all my data centers 😡 Probably the millions of dollars that was offered 🤣
Hah probably a good idea

Good point! I could see size decreasing as is common in tech, smaller footprint
I read another Substack post about how data centers shift their costs onto the local economy.
It took me a while to find it.
I hope it adds value.

That's well written! Thank you for sharing, Michael! And happy New Year!
Power, energy, and compute quietly decide what scales and what breaks.
Yes the ones who control the data and power will control everything moving forward
That’s how the modern world is powered
Datacenters are the powerhouse of AI systems. A useful read into understanding the basics of it, and also amazing hero image!
They are, and thanks!!
