As demand for digital services skyrockets, the three largest public cloud vendors in the world have effectively taken over the hyperscale data center market, according to new data from Synergy Research Group.

Amazon, Microsoft and Google collectively now account for more than 50 percent of the world’s largest data centers across the globe as the three companies continue to spend billions each year on building and expanding their global data center footprint to accommodate the high demand for cloud services. The global COVID-19 pandemic spurred a record-breaking third quarter 2020 as data center spending reached $37 billion, led by AWS, Google and Microsoft.

The number of large data centers operated by hyperscale providers like AWS, Microsoft and Google increased to nearly 600 by the end of 2020, twice as many as there were in 2015. Amazon and Google opened the most new data centers in the past 12 months, accounting for half of the total amount of new hyperscale data centers opened in 2020

That's more resources needed than an aluminium production plant - i see an AWS in CT here - this country has the now notorious ESKOM electricity utility famous for unannounced load-shedding events - Mmmmm I wonder how GeoffB is dealing with that since no-one here seems to be able to kick the utility in the butt.

And, then, or course, there is @Erel's Battalion of Nerds buried in there somewhere.
