When Data Centers Became Infrastructure

Data centers are often viewed as physical facilities filled with servers.

But they increasingly function as infrastructure.

They support cloud computing.

They support AI systems.

They support digital commerce.

They support information continuity.

They support modern digital society.

Many digital services appear effortless.

The infrastructure behind them remains largely invisible.

Most people saw buildings.

The analyst saw digital continuity infrastructure.
