Some interesting observations recently.

At 31st December 2022 ---> NextDC contracted Utilisation was 84.2MW ( It took 10 years for NextDC to sell 84.2MW)

From 31st December to 12th April ( NextDC sold another 35.9MW in 4 months, Remember it took 10 years to sell 84.2MW)

What has changed? in just 8 months, NextDC almost sold 61MW capacity.

The following article resonates with me. Have a read

Following slide from nvidia tells us how big DC market will be in future..

Not quite... the number of deployed GPUs is only directly proportional to floor space and power footprint for a given window of time (being roughly the hardware refresh cycle). It's also not entirely clear how AI-as-a-service vs DIY will play out, but the former means the big players need to build out the DC space, not the NextDCs of this world.

(As an aside, this slide is trying to pimp some of the capabilities of Mellanox who were acquired by nvidia a while back... I would strongly question the world order they're trying to paint a picture of here...)
