STUDIU: Peste o treime din valoarea centrelor de date globale sunt expuse unor riscuri climatice
A recent study reveals that 38% of the global data center value is exposed to climate risks not reflected in financial assessments, presenting investment opportunities in resilience. The research indicates that the physical risk for new AI data centers is significantly higher than existing infrastructure. As AI development progresses, total exposure to climate risks could rise dramatically. Regional differences in exposure are notable, with China and Europe facing higher risks compared to the US. The study highlights the increasing financial burden of natural disasters on data center owners, emphasizing the need for climate resilience in facility design and operation.
