Data Center Hawk is a subscription-based platform providing data and analytics on supply, demand, pricing, and trends for over 115 global data center markets on a quarterly basis. The discussion focuses on the challenges and trends in the global data center business, particularly regarding power and the impact of the AI boom, with a regional breakdown provided by the Data Center Hawk team. Key Regional Insights on Power and Trends: APAC (Asia-Pacific), led by Daddy Escandar: Power situations are unevenly distributed. Tier one markets like Japan, Singapore, and Australia face similar issues to the US, with power delivery timelines extending to 8 - 10 years or as fast as 1 - 2 years. Grid quality is also unequal, leading to the use of non-traditional power sources in tier two markets like Vietnam, the Philippines, Thailand, and India.
