Colocation Demand is Growing

The days of dedicating in-house time and resources to data center spaces are quickly fading for many enterprises. Instead of struggling with designing, building and managing their own in-house data centers, and attempting to predict and respond when requirements may scale up or down, companies are choosing more often to rely on colocation facilities. Even hyperscalers are outsourcing to colocation sites to supplement their own efforts to manage demand.

According to Synergy Research Group, colocation data centers account for 23% of worldwide data center capacity. On-premises data centers make up only 40% of capacity-and this number is shrinking. (Consider just five years ago, when well over half of global data center capacity was attributed to on-premises data centers)

Demand for colocation data center services is growing- and quickly. As a result, challenging undertakings lie ahead: managing sustainability pressure, higher densities, AI/ML workloads and more.
