GPT Technology Takes Over as Data Centers Witness Massive Growth in India
New Delhi, Nov 1 (@DelhiBreakings.com) ★Generative Pre-Trained Transformer (GPT) or generative artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly gaining control in various aspects of our lives, surpassing the popularity of voice assistants like Alexa and Google Home. This surge in the use of GPT is supported by the growth of data centers, which have become essential due to the affordability and availability of digital technologies.
The Evolution of Data Centers
Data centers have evolved from small rooms housing a few servers to purpose-built facilities consuming massive amounts of energy. Hyperscale data centers, which used to be 5-10 MW in size, are now scaling up to hundreds of MW, indicating a paradigm shift in infrastructure design. The increasing use of AI technologies necessitates the construction of flexible data centers capable of handling a wide range of power density.
The Need for Energy Efficiency
As the data center industry grows in India, there is a pressing need for energy efficiency and the adoption of renewable energy sources. AdaniConneX, a joint venture between Adani Enterprises and EdgeConneX, is leveraging Adani Group’s expertise in renewable power generation to build energy secure and sustainable data center infrastructure. AdaniConneX aims to create a 1 GW data center platform across the country.
India’s Growing Data Center Market
According to a CII-Colliers report, as of August 2023, the data center capacity in India’s top 7 cities stands at 819 MW spread across 11.0 million sq. ft. With the increasing need for data localization, the Indian market is expected to experience accelerated growth, presenting significant opportunities for developers and operators in the sector.
Mumbai is currently the most evolved data center hub in India, hosting half of the country’s data center capacity. The city is also among the top 5 APAC region markets, along with Beijing, Shanghai, Tokyo, and Sydney. Other cities like Chennai, Bengaluru, Delhi-NCR, and Kolkata also show potential for becoming major data center hubs.
Adani Group’s Renewable Energy and Data Center Plans
Adani Group aims to deploy 45 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2030. In collaboration with EdgeConneX, the group plans to build 1000 MW data centers over the next 10 years.
“Our world is being defined by our ability to generate, store, access, and move data,” said Gautam Adani, Chairman of Adani Group. “With the advancements in AI, high-definition content, and massive digitization, the need for compute and storage is increasing exponentially. India, with its geographical advantages and vast renewable energy potential, is well-positioned to host data center parks not only for us but also for nations facing land or energy constraints.”
Conclusion
The rise of GPT technology and the growth of data centers are transforming the digital landscape in India. As the demand for data storage and processing continues to increase, the industry must prioritize energy efficiency and the adoption of sustainable practices. With the support of Adani Group’s renewable energy expertise, AdaniConneX aims to build future-ready data center infrastructure and contribute to India’s digital transformation.
