Session Synopsis
According to Tier 1 Research, demand for datacentre services is currently growing at more than three times the rate of supply.
At a time of restricted access to capital, when few within the datacentre industry can afford to invest in new or upgraded facilities, what capacity there is today will soon be filled.
This presentation will explore the main drivers for growth in the datacentre market, from the rise in internet usage to increasing power densities. It will also discuss the continuous improvements Equinix is making to help fill this widening gap between demand and supply.
