Microsoft (MSFT) intends to more than triple its global data center capacity to over 38 gigawatts in 2032, potentially helping it overcome a computing shortage that has forced it to turn away some artificial intelligence and cloud business, Bloomberg reported late Thursday, citing people familiar with the plans.
The plan could change as server farms take years to develop, while evolving customer preferences and new technology could reset current assumptions, according to the media report.
Microsoft did not immediately respond to a request for comment by MT Newswires.
