About This Report
Data centres play an increasingly important role in the world. The purpose-built facilities house computer systems and components, such as telecommunications and storage systems, designed to enable business processes, government services, and social interactions.
Data centres form the foundation of the digital economy, hosting the cloud, and storing our data.
However, the role of data centres isn’t always apparent since data centres are often located in trading estates or industrial sites formerly occupied by heavy industries.
