LAS VEGAS -- Global investment in data centers is expected to outpace the cost of sending humans to the moon by about 50% next year, as the rise of generative artificial intelligence fuels demand for cloud computing.
Data center investment will increase roughly 30% to $463.7 billion next year, U.S.-based Dell'Oro Group forecasts. In comparison, the entire Apollo program from 1960 to 1973 cost $318 billion in current dollars.
