Our take
AI technology is scaling, demanding more powerful and expensive facilities to store the data of the companies that are spearheading this acceleration. Because AI tech demands higher-powered cooling requirements, extra effort must go into keeping these data centers carbon neutral, which is why Vantage Data Centers designs facilities that are efficient, scalable, and sustainable.
Such a rapidly growing market means the facilities and infrastructure supporting it must be flexible and suitable for expansion. Vantage keeps this in mind, designing scalability into its centers. It now operates 32 hyperscale campuses across the globe, serving several leading technology companies. In 2017, it was acquired by Digital Bridge Holdings, and has surpassed Unicorn status with a valuation of $15 billion.
With VC awarded at the start of 2024, Vantage is extending and accelerating its capabilities across North America and the EMEA regions. As cloud computing and AI companies grow at a breakneck pace, Vantage has established itself as the obvious data-storage choice for hyperscaling companies, which sets it up for great success in the future.
