AI Drives Modular Data Center Standardization

Johnny Clemmons, global vice president and industries head at SAP, says artificial intelligence is driving a massive infrastructure expansion, citing roughly $40 billion in annual U.S. data‑center spending and Moody's projection of $3 trillion globally over five years, plus initiatives like OpenAI's $400 billion Stargate and Amazon's $100 billion buildouts. He argues developers should adopt standardized, modular data‑center designs—enabled by AI for modeling, monitoring and commissioning—to improve speed, predictability, cost control and sustainability.
