Data centers are the unsung heroes of the digital era, providing the infrastructure for cloud services, artificial intelligence, and global financial systems. With over 7,000 data centers worldwide, these facilities house computer systems, telecommunications, and storage systems, supporting a vast array of applications and services. The global data center market is projected to reach $251 billion by 2025, with hyperscale and colocation facilities accounting for approximately 74% of U.S. server energy consumption.
