Happy Holidays from Data Center View!

We hope 2025 was your best year yet! Rest up, because 2026 will be even busier.

Wishing you and yours an incredible holiday season!

The Real Media family is growing!

2025 was another explosive year for data centers. Hyperscale demand surged, power constraints tightened, land prices jumped, and AI workloads rewrote the entire development playbook.

And Data Center View tracked it all — the deals, the expansions, the regulatory battles, the land grabs, the utility bottlenecks, and the constant arms race for capacity.

All written by real humans. No AI slop. (Yes, even here.)

As AI accelerates and compute demand compounds, 2026 is shaping up to be the fastest-moving year this industry has ever seen. Our plan? Even more coverage, more market intel, and more clarity on the trends that matter: power, land, capital, and operators.

…and several more on deck for 2026.

Cheers,
