As the digital landscape rapidly evolves, 'Exclusive Midsize Data Centers (EMD)' will pivotal in supporting the surge of AI-driven workloads. While hyperscale data centers remain essential, they cannot meet the growing demand for real-time processing and low-latency applications. At PIDC, we are leading this transformation by strategically developing EMDs across Asia’s major cities to address the needs of the modern digital economy.
Meeting the Growing Demand for Edge Solutions.
The rise of AI, Machine Learning (ML), and IoT has accelerated the need for localized data processing. While core models operate within large hyperscale campuses, edge solutions are critical for real-time applications like smart cities, autonomous systems, and fintech services. Industry forecasts predict over 20% annual growth in the edge data center market through 2030, driven by these evolving technologies.
AI Driving Demand for Data Center Develpment.
AI is fueling a generational investment boom in the infrastructure that supports it, with data center demand skyrocketing to record levels in 2023—11 times higher than in 2016. As new AI models continue to emerge, this demand is expected to grow even further. The next wave of AI technologies, such as text-to-video models like OpenAI’s Sora, could require up to 10,000 times the computing power of a single Google search, highlighting the critical need for advanced, scalable data center infrastructure to keep pace with this rapid evolution.
