THE limited capacity in the data centre sector is likely to push the local data centre industry towards higher-value artificial intelligence (AI) use cases.
Experts such as Bain & Company partner Kiran Karunakaran expect the nation to take the lead in the region to convert existing data centre capacity to AI-enabled data centres.
He estimates that hyperscalers which operate large-scale cloud platforms, such as Google and Amazon, account for 70 per cent of local data centre usage. These companies will likely leverage their presence in Singapore for AI workloads, while shifting more traditional workloads to Malaysia and Indonesia.
