Der Datencenter-Boom kennt keine Pause (N-TV)
|
|
|
Siemens Energy profitiert vom Bauboom bei Rechenzentren. Doch dass der vor allem in den USA stattfindet, treibt den Chef Christian Bruch zunehmend um... --- Dass der Ausbau der Datencenter auch hierzulande zunehmend zum Streitthema wird, macht Bruch Sorgen.
