Data Centers: Mitigating Climate Risks for Operational Resilience

Extreme weather conditions, from scorching heat to sub-zero temperatures, are impacting communities and mission-critical facilities worldwide. According to an XDI analysis of 8,800 data centers, climate hazards are not a distant future concern — they’re already impacting data center viability today.

Data centers are the silent backbone of the global economy, and the growth of data center construction is exploding worldwide against a backdrop of severe and frequent extreme weather events, according to the report. Flooding, forest fires, and rising sea levels are exposing vulnerabilities in data centers, which are often built on historical weather patterns rather than on today’s volatile climate conditions.
