Growth Opportunities in the Data Center Services Industry, 2024


The AI Megatrend Drives Growth Opportunities for Data Center Services and Drives Industry Transformation

Artificial intelligence (AI) adoption is increasing rapidly across industry segments and functional use cases, significantly impacting the way businesses create and deliver value. Generative AI has accelerated the awareness of the transformative impact of AI and the potential of leveraging the technology to create business value. As AI adoption continues, workloads also demand significantly unique digital infrastructure to support business outcomes.

Data center service providers have been witnessing intense competition in the global and regional colocation landscape. While the AI revolution is creating unique challenges for legacy infrastructure and data center builds, it is also opening up new revenue growth avenues and opportunities to create greater customer value and drive strategic differentiation. Colocation service providers must not only provide adequate space and power but also design facilities aligned with growth strategies and design technologies. Accelerating AI advancements will drive innovation in the data center industry, and service providers must reinvent existing facilities and planned digital infrastructure. Flexible and customized infrastructure that supports AI architectures for effective model training and inferencing will be essential in the changing technological landscape. This study discusses the global state of AI adoption and its impact on the data center colocation industry.

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.
