A few decades ago, a computer with processing power equivalent to today's average laptop would have required an entire floor of a small building to fit in.
While arguably, that entire floor's computing power can now sit on your wrist, computers have become space hungry again as digital acceleration now needs acres of space - to store and manage data.
Are Data Centres That Big?
Byte this. Yotta Infrastructure - a Hiranandani Group owned company is building a 250MW IT load capacity data centre in Greater Noida, which can cater to all of the region's data needs.
The blessed hard disk (okay, okay, we get it) when fully operational will consist of 6 interconnected data centre buildings across a 20-acre campus.
The Digital World Is Real Estate Hungry
With growing digital adoption and over 800 million smartphones by 2022, every UPI transaction, regional movie, music, videos, and whatnot needs to find a home on the cloud.
In return, the cloud needs more data centres, aka more specialised real estate.
Per a recent report by JLL, India’s data centre market size is expected to grow from 375MW in H1 2020 to 1,078MW by 2025, registering a CAGR of 21%.
