Compass Datacenters, a new data center provider formed by Chris Crosby, the industry visionary who helped build Digital Realty, today unveiled its business strategy which makes dedicated modular data centers a reality for the 98 percent of the market not served by current wholesale data center providers.
“The data center market is very dynamic today, but when you look closely, a couple of things are clear: the market is very limited geographically and the industry has become less customer-centric. The bulk of current investment in the U.S. is concentrated in only six markets with data center products that meet the needs of a very narrow set of customers. That approach ignores 98 percent of the potential overall market, which means there is a huge untapped market for an innovative company that can pioneer a solution aimed at that large segment of underserved customers,” said Chris Crosby, founder and CEO of Compass Datacenters.
