Abstract
A number of factors have fostered growth in the co-location market in recent
years. Lack of new facilities, burgeoning power and space requirements, and
escalating costs have led to a dash for co-location services. The recession
has inevitably slowed the building of new data centres as new projects are put
on hold. But this and enterprises looking to reduce their capital expenditure
have only served to buoy up demand for co-location and associated managed
services. Steady growth in the market will continue because demand continues
to outstrip supply. Legislation and compliance issues continue to ensure that
security, availability and energy remain top priorities for enterprise and
public sector customers. Cloud computing is unlikely to reduce demand for
co-location services in the medium term - security and compliance issues
will mean that even public and private clouds will need regional co-location
services.
