Data4 published an opinion-style article arguing that AI is accelerating the industrialization of data centers and campuses.

  • The article says AI workloads are driving higher rack densities, liquid cooling, and the shift from single facilities to large-scale campuses capable of supporting several hundred megawatts on one site.
  • It adds that Data4 has already launched a 500 MW hub south of Paris, has signed five PPAs with European partners over the past two years, and has reduced its carbon footprint by more than 13% since 2017 with a 38% reduction target by 2030.
