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.
彭博社報道，微軟公司正在全球範圍內縮減其數據中心項目，這可能暗示其對建設對人工智能和雲計算至關重要的服務器-雲計算農場的計劃進行重新評估。根據熟悉此事的消息來源，這家科技巨頭最近已暫停在多個地點（包括印度尼西亞、英國、澳洲及美國的多個州如伊利諾伊州、北達科他州和威斯康星州）進行數據中心選址討論或將開發推遲。該報告指出，目前尚不清楚這次縮減是否是由於預期需求下降或者是臨時施工挑戰，如電力和建築材料短缺。一些投資者視這一收縮爲預計的人工智能服務購買可能無法證明微軟在服務器-雲計算農場方面的廣泛投資是合理的。
