In this blog article, we explore the latest trends in data center expansion, AI adoption, and regulatory developments, drawing on key insights from recent industry research, including the article “Branchenstudien 2024/25 zur Datacenter-Expansion, KI, Regulatorik und Energie” from Data Center Insider, the Eco-Study 2024 on spillover effects in data centers, the Lünendonk Study 2024 on IT sourcing consulting in Germany, and the DLA Piper Study 2025 on global data center growth and the impact of AI. These findings reveal how companies leveraging cloud technologies are driving innovation and achieving greater economic success.

Datacenter Boom and the Rise of Hybrid Cloud

According to the latest industry study from Data Center Insider, 51% of German companies are now connected to datacenter infrastructures - a 22% increase since 2022. Hybrid cloud models, offering flexibility and scalability, are particularly in demand.
For IT resellers, this presents a clear opportunity: they can offer cloud solutions that meet both local and global requirements. Impossible Cloud relies on an innovative, decentralized infrastructure that allows businesses to adapt to evolving market demands.

‍Overcoming Challenges: Regulation, Costs, and Energy Supply

Despite these positive developments, Data Center Insider highlights three key challenges that hinder companies from transitioning to the cloud:

Regulatory Requirements: 57% of businesses see compliance regulations as a barrier to cloud transformation, especially in highly regulated industries such as banking and healthcare. Impossible Cloud operates exclusively GDPR-compliant data centers in Germany, the Netherlands, and Poland - an essential advantage for IT resellers.

Cost Control: 49% of companies report a lack of cost predictability with cloud providers. Impossible Cloud's transparent, volume-based pricing model ensures resellers can offer their customers a predictable and fair pricing structure.

Energy Efficiency: Rising energy costs and supply shortages are slowing datacenter expansion. Impossible Cloud optimizes its infrastructure for maximum efficiency, minimizing environmental impact and supporting sustainable IT strategies.

AI as a Growth Driver – and Why Storage Is Key

The industry study from Data Center Insider also highlights that companies with datacenter access adopt AI technologies significantly more often than those without cloud access (34% vs. 10%). AI models require vast amounts of storage and rapid access, challenges that Impossible Cloud seamlessly addresses.
