Frank Scalzo point of view on site selection Europe

Frank Scalzo, director and GM of Network Strategy & Services at Iron Mountain Data Centers talks about how advanced cloud services, growing levels of content, and new AI applications are simultaneously providing opportunities to deliver new scalable locations while creating challenges for supply.

The European data center landscape is receiving an unprecedented level of investment in both established and new markets. Driven by advanced cloud services, growing levels of content, and new AI applications, data levels and processing capacity needs are shooting up. While these demand levels are creating challenges for supply, we should see this phase of investment as an opportunity to deliver new scalable locations that address both growing power demands and the energy transition.
