Underground modular data centres proposed as answer to sprawl
Original: What if the answer to data centre sprawl is small, modular… and underground? https:// dev.to/omnimem/what-if-the-ans wer
A proposal circulating among tech commentators argues that the answer to growing data centre sprawl could be small, modular facilities built underground. The idea, framed around small modular data centres and edge computing, ties into debates over digital sovereignty and where cloud infrastructure should physically sit as demand for computing capacity keeps rising.
Why now: Rising concern over data centre expansion, energy use and land use is prompting interest in alternative infrastructure designs.
