The Rise of Modular Data Centers in Modern Construction.

TL;DR Summary
The demand for data centers has rapidly increased due to changing work habits during the pandemic and the growth of cloud-based technologies. However, finding enough land to build a data center and sufficient electricity to run it can be a challenge. Developers must address community concerns about these behemoth buildings, which are popping up next to housing developments and straining local electricity providers that have struggled to keep up with the demand. The industry is trying to find greater efficiencies to lessen the demand for energy, and as major players in the data industry strive to become greener in the next decade, the pressure is on.
