Microsoft, Hurt By Server Shortage, Aims to Triple Cloud Capacity by 2032

Microsoft intends to more than triple the data center capacity of its Azure cloud unit, targeting over 38 gigawatts by 2032, according to Bloomberg. This represents a significant increase from the current 12 gigawatts. To put this scale into perspective, a single gigawatt of capacity can power a city the size of San Francisco. This planned buildout is a strategic response to challenges caused by a server shortage affecting the company's infrastructure growth.
