Fueled by cloud computing, big data, Internet of Things, video streaming, & mobile applications, the hyperscale data center has become a foundational component in data center network architectures. As the hyperscale market continues its unprecedented growth, the data center construction industry has needed to evolve to meet the deployment needs. This presentation will highlight how the roles of the value chain, including construction managers, electrical contractors, and consulting engineers, have adapted to the new hyperscale landscape. The panelists will explore the historic role of the value chain, the drivers of this role change, and the projected evolution in data center construction.
