Trends in Data Center Investment

DCF editor Rich Miller recently spoke to Next Platform TV about data center demand and investment. Here’s a look at the discussion, plus some resources about data center investment trends.

Be sure to follow our Data Center Finance channel and DCF Newsletter for the latest news and analysis of investment trends in digital infrastructure.

Here are some resources that provide additional depth on the topics I discussed in The Next Platform interview.

The Next Platform and its  TV channel are great resources for staying current on high-performance computing (HPC), supercomputing and server hardware.
