Nokia's CEO said data centers would be built '2x faster' if not for supply constraints, according to a CNBC report. The comment highlights supply chain issues as a key bottleneck in the data center construction process.
The executive's statement suggests that current supply limitations are roughly doubling the time required to build data centers. This is particularly significant as demand for AI computing capacity continues to grow.
The report does not specify which supplies are constrained, but the CEO's characterization points to a systemic challenge in the industry's expansion efforts.
