Uptime Institute Announces Global Data Center Staffing Forecast Report
Digital growth fuels strong demand for data center capacity
SEATTLE — Uptime Institute announced the availability of its Global Data Center Staffing Forecast 2021-2025 — a comprehensive forecast of workforce needs by region, data center type, and minimum education requirements.
In every geographic region, data center capacity is dramatically expanding in a buildout of historic proportions. That requires people — to design, build, and operate data centers. The availability (or lack) of specialist staff will be an increasing concern for all types of data centers, from mega-growth hyperscalers to small, private enterprise facilities. By quantifying demand, this research will help raise awareness of the strong employment opportunities for job seekers and give employers, education institutions, and governments a way to measure the need for investment in workforce training and education.
