Microsoft Scales Back Global Data Center Projects, Raising Questions About AI Demand
Bloomberg reports that Microsoft Corp. is scaling back its data center projects globally, potentially signaling a reevaluation of its plans for building server farms crucial to AI and cloud computing. According to sources familiar with the matter, the tech giant has recently suspended discussions or delayed development of data center sites in several locations, including Indonesia, the UK, Australia, and multiple U.S. states such as Illinois, North Dakota, and Wisconsin.The report notes that it's unclear whether this pullback is due to anticipated reduced demand or temporary construction challenges like power and building material shortages. Some investors view this retrenchment as an indication that projected AI service purchases may not justify Microsoft's extensive investments in server farms.
彭博社报道，微软公司正在全球范围内缩减其数据中心项目，这可能暗示其对建设对人工智能和云计算至关重要的服务器-云计算农场的计划进行重新评估。根据熟悉此事的消息来源，这家科技巨头最近已暂停在多个地点（包括印度尼西亚、英国、澳洲及美国的多个州如伊利诺伊州、北达科他州和威斯康星州）进行数据中心选址讨论或将开发推迟。该报告指出，目前尚不清楚这次缩减是否是由于预期需求下降或者是临时施工挑战，如电力和建筑材料短缺。一些投资者视这一收缩为预计的人工智能服务购买可能无法证明微软在服务器-云计算农场方面的广泛投资是合理的。
