Data center sectors we cover
Six verticals covering the full data center economy — from greenfield development to power.
Colocation
Retail and wholesale colocation: transparent pricing, market comparisons, and real quotes.
Hyperscale
Campuses, prelease dynamics and wholesale blocks for cloud and AI giants.
AI Data Centers
High-density halls, liquid cooling, GPU-ready capacity — where to physically run AI workloads.
Edge Data Centers
Micro and modular facilities close to users: latency, inference at the edge, container builds.
Data Center Development & Investment
Greenfield builds, build-to-suit, investing in operating facilities — and the equipment supply chain behind them.
Power & Energy Infrastructure
The real bottleneck: grid connections, PPAs, nuclear and SMR deals, electricity costs by market.
