AI demand is not distributed evenly, and neither are the resources available to support it. Differences in power availability, site configuration and existing infrastructure can shape where new deployments are best placed. By taking a global perspective across NTT Global Data Centers portfolio, we explore how differing regional conditions, infrastructure availability and customer requirements shape AI deployment strategies and how NTT GDC leverages its worldwide expertise to deliver the right solution in the right location. Getting these decisions right matters because placing demand at the wrong site can require greater intervention, limit what can be supported or make future expansion more difficult. In particular we discuss:

• How NTT GDC tailor their approach to support AI deployments across regions
• How power availability and infrastructure constraints affect deployment options across the two sites
• Which aspects of facility design allow for a consistent approach and where site-specific solutions are needed
• How customer demand can inform where future investment is prioritized
