1 2013 CENSUS REPORT: Global Data Center Investment 2013

2 GLOBAL DATA CENTER INVESTMENT Healthy Growth in Data Center Investment Globally Globally, the data center industry has continued to maintain a healthy growth rate in terms of the amount invested by data center owners and operators in facilities, IT infrastructure and outsourcing. The past 12 months have seen an overall 8% increase in the amount invested, this figure outstrips that for white space growth globally, an illustration of the changing nature of the data center industry as it matures. In all regions other than there is a marked difference between growth in white space and growth in investment which signifies that whilst new build is still occurring, a greater percentage of overall spend is being directed towards existing facilities, upgrades and outsourcing. This is a trend that will continue into Figure 1: Rise in Data Center Investment US$ (billion)

3 Regional Trends All of the regions of the world indicate similar rates of investment growth in a range between 6% and 12%. Leaving aside the region with greatest investment growth since and the range narrows to 2.5%. This indicates the rapidly increasing size of the data center market world-wide which makes double digit growth more diffi cult to achieve and which means also that investment needs estment (US$ billion) to be directed towards renewal and refi t rather than new build. These trends will narrow the investment growth gap between established and emerging markets.

4 North America Investment in North America has over the past 12 months been directed towards the upgrading of existing facilities. This is unsurprising given the fact that the region accounts for the largest proportion of ageing stock globally and is in a cyclical period of refitting of essential facility infrastructure such as cooling, power and cabling. It is predicted that spend over the next 12 months will be directed towards IT infrastructure and that new build investment will primarily be driven by the colocation sector. As one of the less mature data center markets, the pattern of investment in differs considerably from its US and an counterparts. Over half of all investment over the past 12 months was directed towards new build. The only countries with significant proportions of budget being allocated to refitting existing facilities are Mexico and Brazil where there is a larger and older asset base. Increase in investment in is slightly above the global average at 8.7%. The countries in this region are at differing stages of maturity and this is reflected in the investment patterns with China continuing to lead in terms of the amount of increase in investment.. Whilst some of the countries in the region show investment increases below the global average and in line with more mature markets, China and India continue to see large amounts of total investment directed towards new build. The mature markets of Australia & New Zealand has the highest percentage of investment directed towards consolidation in the region. Western is home to two of the largest global data center markets, the UK and Germany. As with other mature markets, much of the investment over the past 12 months has been directed towards refit and refresh projects as well as the extension of existing facilities. There has been a 6% rise in the amount invested in facilities and IT optimization but the largest percentage increase in investment in the region is in outsourcing where there has been an estimated 11.6% increase in spend over the previous year. The largest increase in investment in Western over the previous year has been in the Nordic area where significant new build activity has occurred. Middle East & Africa The next generation of emerging markets in this region indicate the highest rates of growth. Subdued growth in the region s larger markets can be linked to lower economic growth rates as well as considerable increase in data center investment in the years to Table 1: Global Investment US$ (Billion) 1st China (PRC) % 2nd India % 3rd Other markets % 4th Hong Kong % 5th Indonesia % 6th Singapore % 7th Malaysia % 8th Australasia % ASIA PACIFIC % 1st Peru % 2nd Other markets % 3rd Chile % 4th Central America % 5th Argentina % 6th Colombia % 7th Mexico % 8th Brazil % LATIN AMERICA % North America 1st Canada % 2nd USA % NAM % 1st Poland % 2nd Other markets % 3rd Turkey % 4th Nordics % 5th Russia % 6th Netherlands % 7th Switzerland % 8th Germany % 9th France % 10th Belgium + Lux % 11th UK % 12th Spain % 13th Italy % EUROPE % MEA 1st Other markets % 2nd RSA % 3rd Saudi % 4th Gulf % MEA % Total % Global: Billion US$ + 8%
