Data centers in Europe - statistics & facts
Europe is in the midst of a data center construction boom. With the continent embracing the possibilities of digital transformation, data center operators are laying the infrastructure necessary to meet the data intensive demands of artificial intelligence, the cloud, and more. Modern data centers are designed to fulfill these requirements by housing extensive networked IT equipment alongside intricate cooling infrastructure. Cloud providers such as Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud operate vast hyperscale facilities across the continent to run subscription-based services, while colocation providers allow enterprise customers to rent data center capacity in shared facilities close to metropolitan areas.
