Report: Investment in Data Center Outsourcing Forecasted To Double By 2016
Recent research by DCD Intelligence identifies that investment in outsourcing by data center operators in the Emerging EMEA region will double by 2016.
‘Data Center Key Trends, Emerging EMEA’, a newly released report by DCD Intelligence concludes that the total amount invested in outsourcing solutions will significantly increase over the next three years. This is despite the region currently being behind other regions in terms of its data center outsourcing profile, due to increased pressures placed on data center operators in terms of increased power, IT capacity planning, and budgetary concerns.
Maturity in the Region
The most diverse of all the regions covered by the Key Trends series, the Emerging EMEA markets that were analyzed differ greatly in terms of their economic, political and cultural profile but all share a common theme in terms of being classified under the DCD development index as “evolving markets.” Characterized by smaller facilities, a lack of ‘mega data centers,’ lower power per rack and a small percentage of data centers located in purpose built facilities, evolving markets show greater growth rates in terms of investment, power and space than their mature counterparts.
