Top 10 Growth Opportunities in Data Center Colocation Services, 2024



The data center colocation industry has seen significant growth in recent years, driven by the increasing demand for data storage and processing requirements. Public cloud service providers, enterprises, and governments are increasingly reliant on best-in-class data centers and digital infrastructure. A growing trend among enterprises is to outsource their infrastructure operations to third-party colocation service providers, creating additional growth opportunities.

The hyperscale market segment continues to drive demand from customers beyond public cloud service providers to OTT content, gaming, and now even banking verticals in several countries. An estimated 28% of enterprises plan to use more than 2MW of IT load capacity within the next 24 months, indicating a significant increase in capacity requirements. In the retail segment, enterprises across industry verticals continue to invest in digital transformation and adopt robust and reliable colocation infrastructure to support the data computing and processing requirements. To meet the demand, colocation service providers need to focus on scaling up their space and power capacities while also implementing tools and technologies to differentiate themselves. Colocation service providers will prioritize sustainability targets, edge strategies, and a comprehensive digital ecosystem.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
