Metaverse, Web 3.0, And DAO To Drive Demand
DataQuest
|June 2022
Metaverse driven data centers are characterized by their ability to rapidly adapt to changes in workloads and users, while cloud and 5G datacenters rely on virtualization technologies to improve resource utilization and reduce costs
The data center industry is in the midst of a major transformation. Ongoing advancements in technology are resulting in a shift away from traditional; investment in the metaverse space, cloud, and 5G will drive significant demand for data centers over the next five years.
Metaverse driven data centers are characterized by their ability to rapidly adapt to changes in workloads and users, while cloud and 5G datacenters rely on virtualization technologies to improve resource utilization and reduce costs. The increasing adoption of Web 3.0 and the maturity of multiple technologies like VR, AR, Blockchain, Cybernetics, Al, 5G, etc. are creating a hard demand network, compute, and storage requirements to scale and sustain. Metaverse ecosystems are non-trivial, and we are far from provisioning this level of ability close to the Edge where experiences will manifest.
Metaverse, DAO, and Web 3.0 is a decentralized platform that enables users to create their digital assets and identities. It is the first project to implement DAO technology and revolutionize Web 3.0.

Even if Al demand fades, India need not worry - about data centres
For every megawatt (MW) of installed colocation capacity, users here generate approximately 13.2 PB of data monthly- compared to 0.3 PB for Australia and just 0.01 PB for Singapore. India's data centre growth is not dependent on one tech lever. Plus, it is phased and modular and not kneejerk. Manoj Paul explains these contours in detail.
