About this episode
In this episode I am joined by Sean Graham, Research Director at IDC. Sean gives us a great insight to the research behind some of the key challenges in the data centre sector.
Sean discusses a recent blog where he covered how the sector is struggling to keep up with the ever increasing demand while also managing all the challenges around energy use.
Sean then outlines some of the statistics around new developments and which regions are seeing the most growth.
The final topic we cover is the impact of AI on the sector and other elements that are going to impact the short and mid-term growth.
This is a great insight to some of the data behind the data centre sector.
