Data center developer CyrusOne has lined up nearly $10 billion in debt financing to support its growth, including $7.9 billion targeted for new data center projects in the United States. CyrusOne says its Intelliscale high-density offering positions it to compete for major AI deployments. #datacenter #cloud #finance #ai #hyperscale https://lnkd.in/e7fh8UDm

In today's rapidly evolving data center landscape, securing financing is no longer the primary hurdle. The real challenge lies in obtaining the necessary power and fiber infrastructure. Deals that lack substantial power and fiber contracts are increasingly viewed as yesterday's commodity plays. To truly stand out, data centers must be backed by robust and reliable infrastructure. #fiberDan
Hopefully with this capital raise they will be building smarter and more sustainable data centers than the typical oversized, inefficient and inflexible on-slab flooded room "me too" data centers of the past decade.
Just cannot imagine the Mega Watts used to support these DC's today. Let's just say that I'm happy to be retired,

3wThey still need power. Where does the power come from. These companies are betting that they can have the energy to do this. Centralized, mega data is not the solution, yet it is the only solution they can come up with. You would think with billions and many smart people they could come up with something better.. We did with very little money and a few highly intelligent people.. Decentralized data.
