Will The Data Center Get Built? (What You Need To Know)

Every gold rush is followed by a hangover. That’s been true throughout history. It happened during Tulip Mania from 1634-1637.

There was a gold rush in railways in the 1830’s in the UK and then later in the 1870’s to the 1890’s in the US and Canada.

There was an actual gold rush in 1896-1899 in the Klondike region of the Yukon close to the border with Alaska. It happened with automobiles in the early 1900’s.

It happened in radio and then in TV, and then with the Internet.

But seriously folks, this time it’s different, this AI thing is here to stay and the projections for its impact on the economy are well quantified.

There are an increasing number of tools that are showing maps of both existing and planned data centres.

The limiting factor for new data center investments is often described as being infrastructure related. That means optical fibre, large supply of base load electricity, and in many cases, ample water supply to provide cooling.

The latest tool is a new open source database on a map called The IM3 Open Source Data Center Atlas. It provides locations and facility footprints (when available) of existing and projected data centers across the United States (U.S.).
