In the past several years, interest in rating transactions backed by data centers has surged, as these facilities are considered a critical component of digital infrastructure worldwide. Growth in the data center market is driven by several different factors, and technological advances within digital infrastructure will have impacts on credit risk and opportunities, especially with increasing capital costs to meet high power and processing requirements of AI.
