The term "hyperscale" has become a buzzword within the data center sector, but it’s often used differently depending on context. In the industry, hyperscale refers to the rapid and large-scale expansion of infrastructure by a select group of companies. These are typically smaller in number—estimated at around five to twenty—that are responsible for immense capital investments in building and leasing massive data center campuses.
Hyperscale companies have turned the industry on its head by requiring infrastructure needs that grow at an unprecedented pace. Over the last decade, their growth has created an entirely new segment of the data center market, demanding innovative design, efficiency, and strategic location choices.
