Emerging Trends in Global Data Centre Market

• The emergence of the Hyperscale Data Centre – Hyperscale Data Centres have become the standard for Data Centre design allowing scalability and flexibility of layout with the adaptability to cater for more power or different standards of resilience or tiers in one facility. 
• The introduction of software fabrics to improve monitoring & operations – Services such as Platform Equinix & Platform Digital provide remote monitoring of power and utilisation, with real-time alerts & information provided leading eventually to predictive analysis using machine learning.
• New Data Centre technology is being adopted first by the Cloud Service Provider - with web-based interfaces and software fabric providing metrics on power usage, carbon reduction, utilisation, which is then adopted by the wider Data Centre community.
• There is a move to more Data Centre market consolidation – Particularly in Europe a number of US Data Centres - including Vantage, CyrusOne, Iron Mountain, QTS and T5 – are growing by acquisition in France, Germany, the Netherlands, Ireland and the UK.
• To date the Data Centre markets of India, Africa and South America have been under-exploited – Digital Realty (Brazil) and Equinix (Mexico) have recently made investments in South America, but the markets have the potential for additional growth with large populations and rapid increase in internet and content streaming usage. 
• Finally, new forms of external finance are being used to expand Data Centre growth - for example GDS (a Chinese Data Centre Provider) and Equinix have separately enlisted the Singaporean wealth fund GIC to form a joint venture to provide Hyperscale Data Centres.
