Overview
Data Center Operations & Facilities covers the operation and management of data-center facilities — providing the power, cooling, connectivity, security, and reliability that keep computing infrastructure running. At ~$330B (the broad data-processing and hosting category) it is the operational core of the data-center industry, spanning operators, hosting providers, and managed facilities.
Demand is driven by relentless data and compute growth and the shift to outsourced and cloud infrastructure, with uptime, efficiency (PUE), and power availability the key operational metrics. It is consolidating around scaled operators and hyperscalers while a long tail of hosting providers remains, and is the foundational layer of digital infrastructure.
