In this paper, a method for determining TCO of physical data center and network room infrastructure will be described. . Every discussion about data center infrastructure cost in data centers starts with one unavoidable fact — building or expanding a facility is expensive and complicated. Global spending crossed $270 billion in 2024, and projections suggest it will surpass $550 billion by 2032. Building a data center requires a hefty upfront investment, often exceeding initial estimates, driven by land, essential systems, and unpredictable construction costs. 7 trillion by 2030, largely because of the expansion of AI, the proliferation of edge computing, and advancements in high-performance computing (HPC). A 30MW data-center must generate $100M of revenues for a 10% IRR, while an AI data-center in 2025+ may need to charge $10/EFLOP of compute. . Now in its ninth year, our report remains the construction industry's only cost index specified to the data centre sector.
