According to recent research from Gartner, the global colocation market is expected to double by 2020 to $50B. MarketsandMarkets.com anticipates a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14% annually through 2022.
Often called the future of data center design, colocation encompasses every level of data center infrastructure, including enclosures, power, cooling, cable management, monitoring, and security. Because these infrastructure assets require significant staff and capital investments, small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are expected to move into colocation services at the highest rate in the forecast period.
