Keith Young, Vice President Data Centre Services at Arvato, explains why logistics strategy is becoming increasingly important as data centre developers race to bring new AI capacity online.
The rapid growth of artificial intelligence is driving unprecedented investment in digital infrastructure. In the UK, government ambitions to accelerate AI adoption and expand domestic computing capacity are increasing demand for the data centres and supporting infrastructure needed to power this growth. This creates an opportunity for regions that can offer the right combination of land, energy, connectivity, skills and supply-chain capability.
However, these ambitions are coming up against grid constraints and lengthy connection timelines, making ‘time to power’ a critical consideration for UK data centre projects. With developers competing for limited capacity alongside other power-intensive industries, the ability to bring infrastructure online quickly and reliably is becoming increasingly important.
