The data center boom is no longer just a trend—it’s a historic infrastructural shift. Recently, Crosslake Fibre CEO Mike Cunningham sat down with HOT TELECOM CEO Isabelle Paradis to discuss what this unprecedented surge means for the future of tech, connectivity, and investment strategy. Before diving into their conversation, consider the sheer scale of the current landscape: 🏗️ A 344% Explosion in Construction: U.S. data center construction spending hit a record $41 billion in 2025 resulting in a massive 344% increase compared to 2020. That momentum has carried into 2026, with nearly $10 billion spent in March alone. 📈 A Market Speeding Toward $168B: The U.S. data center market is currently valued at roughly $122 billion in 2026, with projections seeing it eclipse $168 billion by 2031. 💰 The $700 Billion Hyperscaler Push: The "Big Five" tech giants (Amazon, Alphabet, Microsoft, Meta, and Oracle) have collectively outlined around $700 billion in capital expenditures for 2026 and beyond to fuel their AI and cloud infrastructure. 📊 Moving the Needle on GDP: This sector's capital expenditure is so massive that it is acting as a macroeconomic engine, expected to contribute 0.4 percentage points to total U.S. GDP growth in 2026. ⚡The 106 GW Power Squeeze: As facilities scale to meet AI workloads, U.S. data center electricity needs are projected to skyrocket from roughly 25 GW just two years ago to a staggering 106 gigawatts by 2035—putting immense pressure on grids and raw materials like copper. As Mike and Isabelle discuss, this level of capital deployment brings massive opportunities, but also complex risks around power availability, supply chain bottlenecks, and technological due diligence. At Crosslake, we view this not just as a real estate or hardware boom, but as a fundamental reshaping of how value is created and sustained in the tech ecosystem.

FAQ: Why will hyperscalers and major operators be attending Data Center Americas? We are anchoring a dedicated platform directly near "Data Center Alley", the epicenter of global digital infrastructure. With the U.S. entering its largest infrastructure investment supercycle in history (with cap-ex scaling toward a projected $710 billion this year alone), the heavy hitters aren’t just coming to watch. They are coming to execute. Here is a quick breakdown of who will be in the room and why: ➡️ Hyperscale Giants (AWS, Microsoft, Google, Meta) With workloads scaling exponentially to fuel the AI revolution, hyperscalers are facing unprecedented constraints. They are coming to Data Center Americas to secure ecosystem partnerships, discover next-gen liquid cooling solutions, and navigate the massive energy capacity gaps reshaping North American grid infrastructure. ➡️Major Colocation & Wholesale Operators From multi-tenant real estate titans to premier operators, the builders of America’s digital economy will be out in full force. They are actively seeking new strategies for modular builds, site selection, and prefabrication to deploy capacity at lightning speed. ➡️Power & Utility Innovators Because infrastructure means nothing without electrons, we are bringing together power providers, microgrid innovators, and sustainability specialists to solve the industry’s most pressing dilemma: scaling energy footprint sustainably while ensuring 100% uptime. If your growth depends on connecting with the people who hold the keys to the world’s largest data center footprint, this is where you need to be.

Scala Data Centers was recognized as a #Leader in the IDC MarketScape: Latin America Datacenter Services 2025–2026 Vendor Assessment. The IDC MarketScape applies a structured methodology to evaluate providers across execution and long-term strategy, benchmarking not only who is delivering today but also who is structurally positioned to lead the market as demand evolves. We believe our position as a Leader is a clear signal of both #scale and #direction: the ability to operate complex infrastructure today, while aligning ahead of the curve on where digital infrastructure is going next. According to the MarketScape, Scala’s strengths include: ✅ Scala's design allows for flexible, customized, high-density, and liquid-cooled deployments, supported by low PUE and zero WUE references. ✅ The company also benefits from strong financial backing via DigitalBridge and others, with land and power reserves that enable scaling to over 6GW regionally, and a good track record in sustainability, transparency, and ESG practices. ✅ Having an internal R&D focused on cooling, energy efficiency, and process digitalization reinforces customer SLAs, backed by an integrated command center that oversees all monitoring, incident response, and remote hands. Taken together, this is not just a set of capabilities. We believe it reflects a #platform engineered to remove the industry’s key bottlenecks: ensuring the availability of renewable power at scale, alongside deployment speed, operational predictability, and sustainability. Access IDC MarketScape excerpt: http://bit.ly/4vj8YKY In a market increasingly defined by #AI where infrastructure must be #denser, #faster, and more #energy-aware, we believe this recognition reinforces Scala’s position as a platform ready to absorb complexity at scale. #ProudToBeScala

The crossover everyone in data center real estate has been watching finally happened. Construction spending on AI infrastructure officially surpassed office building investment for the first time, and three REITs are sitting squarely at the center of that shift. ✔️ Iron Mountain (IRM): The most dramatic transformation story on this list. A records management company that became a data center powerhouse, now up over 60% in 2026 with no signs of slowing. The market has fully repriced what this company actually is. ✔️ Equinix (EQIX): Ten straight years of dividend growth and 43% year to date returns. The interconnection density Equinix has built across its global platform creates a network effect that compounds in ways most data center operators cannot match. ✔️ Digital Realty (DLR): The clearest pure play on hyperscaler demand among the three, with large-scale facilities purpose-built for the AI training and inference workloads driving the current buildout cycle. Up 29% year to date. The global data center market sits at $383 billion today and is projected to reach $902 billion by 2033. The returns these three REITs are generating are the public market's confirmation of what the private land and site selection market has been showing us on the ground for the past two years. Scarcity of power-advantaged locations is the whole story, and these companies understood that earlier than almost anyone.
