JLL Sees Global Data Center Capacity Nearly Doubling by 2030 - 📅 - The global data center industry is entering a new phase of accelerated expansion, driven primarily by the rapid rise of artificial intelligence workloads and unprecedented levels of capital deployment. According to the 2026 Global Data Center Outlook published by JLL, total installed data center capacity worldwide is projected to nearly double from roughly 103 gigawatts today to around 200 gigawatts by 2030.
The report characterizes the coming years as a structural growth cycle rather than a speculative surge, arguing that real estate fundamentals remain strong and do not point to a bubble despite the scale and speed of expansion.
At the heart of this growth is AI. JLL estimates that by [...]

xAI Nears $230B Valuation in Massive NVIDIA-Led Funding - 📅 - The artificial intelligence company founded by Elon Musk, xAI, has closed a funding round of unprecedented scale, raising $20 billion in a transaction led by NVIDIA. The round values the company at close to $230 billion, positioning xAI among the most valuable private technology companies in the world and firmly placing it alongside OpenAI and Anthropic in the intensifying race to dominate foundational AI models.
Sources familiar with the deal say xAI initially set out to raise $15 billion but ultimately expanded the round after overwhelming investor demand pushed commitments well beyond the original target. Even by Silicon Valley standards, the pace of xAI's ascent is notable. Founded in [...]
