There’s no doubt that there’s a skills challenge in the datacenter market and in IT at large.
Massive global demand for AI technology is causing datacenters to increase spending on servers, power, and cooling infrastructure. As a result, datacenter CapEx spending will hit $1.1 His projections account for recent advances in AI and datacenter efficiency, he says. Much of this growth is due to AI.
According to a report released this week by Bloom Energy, US datacenters will need 55 gigawatts of new power capacity within the next five years. The report , based on a survey of 100 datacenter leaders, also shows that 30% of all sites will be using onsite power by 2030.
In 2019, Gartner analyst Dave Cappuccio issued the headline-grabbing prediction that by 2025, 80% of enterprises will have shut down their traditional datacenters and moved everything to the cloud. The enterprise datacenter is here to stay. As we enter 2025, here are the key trends shaping enterprise datacenters.
The construction of massive datacenter campuses is booming, with hyperscalers, colocation providers and large enterprises developing new capacity to support the exploding requirements of AI. These are not normal times There has always been growth in datacenter capacity but never anything like this. TWh to 162.5
On the demand side for datacenters, large hyperscale cloud providers and other corporations are building increasingly bigger large language models (LLMs) that must be trained on massive compute clusters. Still, several questions remain about DeepSeeks training, infrastructure, and ability to scale, Schneider stated.

Rising costs, AI concerns and staffing challenges are among the top issues facing datacenter leaders in 2024, according to Uptime Institute’s latest survey data. Datacenter teams are working to balance higher rack power density and future capacity needs with capital investments and staffing limitations.
However, between 2023 and 2024, global AI readiness in the enterprise has declined. Systems are struggling to keep pace with accelerating AI development as 79% of respondents say they require further datacenter graphics processing units (GPUs) to support future AI workloads, up from 76% last year,” the report stated.
Herweck, who had been in the role for 18 months, was replaced by the head of the company’s energy management business, Olivier Blum, to drive Schneider Electric’s next strategic phase, which includes scaling its energy management and datacenter operations. Analysts, however, showed surprise over this move by the French firm.
Datacenters could consume upwards of 9% of US electricity generation by 2030, more than double the amount currently used, although the role AI contributing to the demand, a new study has found. While AI applications are estimated to use only 10%-20% of datacenter electricity today, that percentage is growing rapidly.”
This month, Tradom also will begin trials using the new product, while Sakura Internet is in the process of a conducting a feasibility study on the use of the technology for its datacenter operations, according to Fujitsu.
Datacenter power constraints and burgeoning AI workloads have companies scrambling to find new sources of electricity. times the 2023 level. times the 2023 level. That’s why, in an effort to find new energy sources—and in the face of the push to make it clean energy—datacenter owners are turning to nuclear power.

The AI revolution is driving demand for massive computing power and creating a datacenter shortage, with datacenter operators planning to build more facilities. But it’s time for datacenters and other organizations with large compute needs to consider hardware replacement as another option, some experts say.
The rapid expansion of AI and generative AI (GenAI) workloads could see 40% of datacenters constrained by power shortages by 2027, according to Gartner. The surge is attributed to the increased deployment of large-scale language models (LLMs) and complex algorithms that require massive data processing capabilities.
VMware Explore 2023 Generative AI dominates VMware Explore 2023 news Aug 25, 2023: Highlights include a private AI platform developed with Nvidia that lets enterprises run generative AI applications on their proprietary data within VMware’s hybrid cloud infrastructure.
At a time when many DC [datacenter] operators are facing challenges around power and cooling, LPO can save 25% of the networking power budget, at a system level. Arista has talked about LPO for 800G earlier, but 2025 is the year when LPO will become real, with demonstrable power and cost savings, Hull said.
Another driver is the fact that individual datacenters themselves are upgrading to 400G Ethernet. The previous capacity of the DE-CIX network was 100G, which means that datacenters running at 400G need to split the signal. Companies are spending money on AI datacenter clusters, which need to be connected to each other.
The new funding follows a $10 million round announced in December 2023. SONiC remains a cornerstone of Aviz’s strategy Shukla highlighted the growing demand for SONiC, particularly in datacenters and GPU fabrics, driven by the need for new infrastructure to support the increasing use of GPUs and inferencing networks.
Chinese GPU startup Moore Threads has announced an upgrade to its KUAE AI datacenter solution, boosting the number of GPUs connectable in a single computing cluster to 10,000. In 2023, the four-year-old startup was added to the US Entities List, largely preventing it from obtaining American technologies without a special license.
compared to the second quarter of 2024, and an increase of 20% from the third quarter of 2023. “We So we do see a lot of tailoring now around the size of the deployments based on how many GPUs they want to deploy their datacenter,” McCool said. “As Arista posted revenue of $1.811 billion for the quarter ending Sept.
Datacenters are hot, in more ways than one. In fact, according to the International Energy Agency, by 2026 the AI industry is expected to have grown exponentially to consume at least ten times its electricity demand in 2023.

The term was coined by Gartner in 2023, but the concept has existed in different iterations for some time, with other vendors and analysts referring to it as autonomous networking, intent-based networking, and self-driven or self-healing networking.
However, enterprise cloud computing still faces similar challenges in achieving efficiency and simplicity, particularly in managing diverse cloud resources and optimizing data management. AI models are often developed in the public cloud, but the data is stored in datacenters and at the edge.
In a move closely watched by enterprise technology leaders, Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai has reaffirmed Googles commitment to spending $75 billion this year on AI infrastructure and datacenters weeks after Microsoft reportedly abandoned many of its datacenter projects. For enterprises, this changes the calculus.
