数据中心：水资源管理和企业可持续发展战略的趋势

基于云的数据和数字服务的激增正在推动数据中心的扩展和建设，从而增加存储容量。为了满足不断增长的需求，超大型数据中心（定义为 100 万平方英尺的设施）的趋势正在增长。

最近的一份报告预测，到 2026 年，全球将有 1,200 个超大规模数据中心，比目前的数字增加约 65%。大约 25 家公司拥有全球 728 个超大规模数据中心的大部分。这些公司是水解决方案供应商和寻求投资这一强劲增长领域的公司的目标客户群。

本报告探讨了数据中心水资源管理和企业可持续发展战略的趋势。并发布了其他信息。

Rapid growth in cloud-based data and digital services is coupled with data center expansions and new constructions to increase storage capacity. Hyperscale data centers, defined as million-square-foot facilities, are on the rise to keep pace with heightened demand. Larger facilities present widespread implications for water supplies, water management solutions, and local authorities. Recent reports predict hyperscale data centersto total 1,200 facilities by 2026, globally-approximately a 65% increase from current counts

Approximately 25 companies make up majority ownership of the 728 hyperscale data centers, globally. These companies represent the target audience for water solutions providers and firms seeking to capitalize on this robust and growing sector. Bluefield Research has identified seven of the largest hyperscale data center companies, globally, and has identified their water management positions and strategies. These companies' strategies highlight new operating technologies, key partnerships, and future water goals.
