1 Data Centres in the UK Helen Bedford

2 Definitions and Industry Standards A Data Centre is a building or portion of a building whose primary function is to house a computer room and its support areas; data centres typically contain high-end servers and storage products with mission-critical functions / ASHRAE structure, or group of structures, dedicated to the centralized accommodation, interconnection and operation of information technology and network telecommunications equipment providing data storage, processing and transport services together with all the facilities and infrastructures for power distribution and environmental control together with the necessary levels of resilience and security required to provide the desired service availability / ETSI Standard Industry Standards for Data Centres in the UK TIA-942 updated energy efficiency added ASHRAE TC wider range of t EN ANSI T1.336 Cabinets and Racks ISO/IEC ASHRAE 90.4 ANSI/BICSI 002 Data Centre Design and Implementation Best Practices 2011 ANSI/TIA 862 A (Building Automation ti Systems) Types of Data Centres Data centres are divided into 2 main groups depending on the End User: Enterprise and Colocation. Colocation Data Centres are built with a view to facilities being leased out to other organisations (either on short-term or long-term lease). Sometimes, Enterprise Data Centre facilities are also outsourced to third parties to provide hosting and managed services. The type of the Data Centre has an effect both on the design and the costs of the project.

4 BIG DATA CLOUD INTERNET- -OF-THINGS. Big Opportunities for Data Centre Expansion Big Data is predicted to grow at the rate of 45% annually to $24-26bn globally in value by 2015 and is expected to reach 35 Zettabytes of data by 2020 Cisco predicts that Global Data Centre IP traffic will grow dramatically by 2016 with the forecast for Cloud Data Centres workload growing at more than five times the rate of the traditional data centres workload Big Data is reaching the tip of the maturity technological hype curve following the hybrid cloud computing. The plateau for the technologies is expected to be reached within 2 to 5 years, thus adding further to the expansion of Data Centre segment to satisfy the growing need for storage and processing of data According to Cloud Industry Forum (CIF) in the 18 months preceding 2013 the Cloud adoption in the UK rose by 27% It is expected that over 75% of businesses in the UK will be using at least one cloud-based service by the end of 2013 The main drivers behind the growth of cloud-based services are flexibility and the operational cost savings, however data storage, security and privacy still remain the issues affecting the rate of adoption UK Trade and Investment t considers UK has an opportunity to secure the biggest cloud and data centre markets in the world, as well as access to the broader European market with the estimated level of investment into the Data Centre segment reaching 2bn in 2012 and a healthy level of projected growth in the sector for years ahead Internet-of-Things, alternatively defined as Internet-of-Everything, denotes the interrelationships of Machine-to-Machine M (M2M) world where every object (phones, cars, individual id lights, etc.) has sensors and is able to communicate with the others, including the provision of data processing capabilities allowing active participation of devices in communication channels Although in relatively very early stages of adoption, the Internet of Things has wider implications in the medium to longer term as the technology becomes more widely accepted and rolls out across healthcare and manufacturing. With the trend towards patient-driven remote care options in the NHS sector, it might drive further demands for the modernised Data Centres in the public sector The increase of BYOD (Buy Your Own Devices) devices in the corporate segment will additionally drive the need to manage the storage of data through expansion of data centres or acquisition of further colocation space to dynamically manage the demand Smart Homes, IP LED lighting, Cars and New mobile devices, as well as appliances market developments might have effect on the speed and scale of the roll-out of Internet-of-Things, driving the need for Data Centres in consumer and retail segments Excellence in Market Intelligence 4 Main External Drivers for Data Centre Growth in the UK Big Data and Cloud Location & Security Internet of Things Sources: Nasscom 2012, Cisco Index 2013, Gartner, McKinsey 2013, Uptime Institute t 2013, UKTI, CIF 2013, Data Centre Dynamics

5 Demand Drivers for New DC Solutions in the UK Demand Drivers Awareness of energy savings and targeted monitoring and control Priorities of households and health and security organisations over clients in other sectors can increase the risk of forced outages in Data Centre segment Increased density drives high power consumption and cooling requirements High levels of energy consumption by DCs makes them vulnerable to blackouts Carbon Taxes and Smart Grid developments Heat Load Projection per Type of Product utilised in Data Centres Limiting Factors and Constraints Adoption of new cooling technologies isslow due to conservative attitude of IT and production management to the operation requirements applied to server environments in data centres Only 14% of DCs use energy management Legionella disease risks are of greater concern in adiabatic and evaporative cooling systems and taken into consideration in design; in turn increasing maintenance costs and raising issues of space Source: ASHRAE, 2005 Growing density increases heat loads and presents new requirements for power and cooling; alternatives to traditionally standard cooling technologies can tackle costs. As velocity of Big Data increases, the need for agility, flexibility and scalability of data centre solutions in the UK becomes more apparent Excellence in Market Intelligence 5

6 Facilities and IT: Finding the right balance in 2011 ASHRAE relaxed the temperature corridor for the cooling requirements for data centres At the same time, demands for increased density and introduction of blade servers are increasing heat loads The density is also driving power demands adding to the risks of the projected electricity shortfall in the UK Grid Cooling systems need to innovate and respond to the pressures of rising energy costs and increased heat loads but require mind change from IT (e.g. acceptance of liquid cooling) In overall terms, the cooling element constitutes around 50% of associated IT energy costs However, the majority of IT managers in the UK are still not willing to accept raised temperatures as acceptable, and overcool the data centres Aversion to downtime risks still overrides energy efficiency requirements in the decision-making process Government Facilities IT CRC Tax Energy Bill 2012 Fossil Fuel Shortage Rising electricity prices Electricity shortages and potential blackouts are highlighted but likely to be exaggerated Sources: IDC, Uptime Institute, 2013 Energy bills are rising, but visibility is poor Lower energy costs Some BMS systems are outdated In 80% of data centres bills are paid by the Facilities, but are they part of the decision making process? They are more likely to be involved only at the operational stage Track PUE but is it a priority? IT accountability for energy consumption In only 16% of Data Centres globally is IT paying the energy bill DCIM systems are rarely linked with BMS systems Further responsibilities shift to the IT - 66% in 2013, compared to 56% in 2011 There is still a long way to go before energy efficiency becomes a major priority for Data Centres, however awareness is growing both across facilities and IT Excellence in Market Intelligence 6

7 Data Centres Market in the UK The main specifics of the UK market; Highly fragmented market with a lot of players Most Data Centres are Tier 3 or Tier 4, with Tier 4 - more in the Financial sector (redundancy reflecting criticality) Due to the high presence of the Finance sector, the UK remains to be one of the 4 European Data Centre hubs Finance/Professional Services Sector has been historically very strong with high levels of investment in the Data Centre Market For the first time in 2012 Telecom and IT sector was at the forefront of the expansion and overtook the Finance sector Concerns over energy availability mean additional efforts to increase awareness and require new technologies Projected level of investment into the DC market in 2012 was around 2bn and is expected to remain at around the same level Data Centre Market is estimated to further expand outside M25 area surrounding London, mainly in Scotland and the North of the UK, However, at the same time more than 50% of investment is still predicted to stay within close proximity of London. This is mainly driven by the availability of power and by conservative IT management preferences, especially in the critical sectors of banking and finance. Financial sector is showing signs of revival and growing investment in Data Centres in the UK,and will continue to be one of the main drivers behind the high rate of Data Centre growth around London and M25 area. As the speed of the data transfer in the financial sector continues to be critical for data processing ( microseconds), it is unlikely that relocation outside of M25 or even outside London itself will occur in the near future. Healthcare sector is also expected to gain traction through the expected trend towards self-managed care in the NHS.

8 Colocation Landscape and Services Offering in the UK Trends in Colocation Market in the UK in 2012 In 2013 growth is led by the colocation market - 85%, with the enterprise sector maintaining a still impressive 66% growth into new investments globally, due to Uptime Institute. In the UK, the high level of DC investment in colocation (especially in 2012) has attracted the interest of the industry in this segment as a lucrative source of business. Demand for colocation space and managed services in 2011/2012 was positive and reflective of the continuing global IT investments in spite of economic downturn London colocation market continues to be the largest in Europe Sharp rise in the space available due to number of expansion projects in 2012 might slow the rate of further new DC growth through For the first time the financial sector, having slowed down was overtaken by the growth in Technology, Media and Telecoms With growing maturity, colocation segment is undergoing further consolidation The co-lo market is expected to sustain the growth in the UK albeit at slower rates in comparison to 2012 and might be adjusted in line with the levels of space on offer that have also increased in Q4 of 2012 More System integrators from Enterprise sector offer their space to the colocation market as Managed Service providers capitalising on their IT expertise and transforming underutilised fitted Data Centre space into profit centres Colocation Segment Groups Segment Companies Wholesale Digital Realty, Infinity Global Switch, E shelter Retail Interxion Telecity Group, Equinix Carrier based Colt, BT, Verizon, Level 3, Cable & Wireless Hosting, Cloud, Managed Services SAVVIS, Rackspace, Softplayer, Terremark System integrators IBM, ATOS, Capgemini, CSC, Fujitsu Sources: CBRE, Jones Lang LaSalle 2013 Breakdown of Services per Type of Co-location Around 22% of Data Centre belongs to out sector f installed power tsourced r Excellence in Market Intelligence 8
