Data Centers as the Foundation for Federated Data Analysis: Financial and Technical Considerations

The evolution of data center architecture is increasingly oriented toward supporting federated data models, transforming these facilities from centralized repositories into nodes within interconnected systems. This transition fundamentally changes not only the technical operations of data centers but also their financial structures across capital expenditure (CAPEX), development expenditure (DEVEX), and operational expenditure (OPEX). As organizations balance data sovereignty with collaborative
