5 Data Centre Market in the UK - Factors for Growth (I) Major Data Centre Projects UK Data Centre Projects Map Northern Ireland A majority of data centres are constructed in and around the M25 corridor. No new data centres are currently being constructed in Scotland Londo 3 M n 25 Circle Channel Islands Bedfordshire Dunstable Berkshire Bracknell Buckinghamshire Milton Keynes Cambridgeshire Cambridge Ely Huntington (2) Central London London E1 (3) London E14 (2) London EC1V London NW10 Channel Islands Guernsey County Londonderry Coleraine (3) Ealing Greenford Southall Essex Loughton Greater Manchester Stockport Gwent Pontypool 5 New DC Projects Hampshire Basingstoke Fareham Farnborough Winchester Hertfordshire Welwyn Garden City Lancashire Blackburn Northamptonshire Corby Surrey Godalming Reigate Tyne &Wear Gateshead Newcastle-Upon-Tyne West Glamorgan Neath West Midlands Birmingham Coventry (2) West Sussex Crawley West Yorkshire Barley Huddersfield Leeds Wiltshire Salisbury Swindon

6 Data Centre Projects and Colocation Landscape in the UK Breakdown of Services per Type of Co-location Financial Sector is in the leading position Colocation is on the rise and filling capacity Territory spread and some movement outside of M25 circle Enterprise sector deployment for own and outsourced use Public sector is expected to pick up 6

7 Modular is an emerging alternative model, but market is still conservative Advantages: Drivers in Modular DC Segment Disadvantages: CAPEX and OPEX considerations Speed of deployment Building permit advantages Minimised risk Flexible capacity Budget Cloud Lock-In Preferences Limited flexibility Costs Technologies Source: Uptime Institute Survey

11 Cooling Solutions in Data Centres - UK The key objective has been to determine the size of the data centre cooling in the UK market and trends affecting the industry, encompassing: 1. Computer room air conditioning (CRAC) 2. Direct and indirect evaporative cooling 3. Close coupled cooling, including rear door heat exchangers, overhead terminal units and in- between row cooling 4. Other smaller markets such as traditional air handling units distinct from direct and indirect evaporative cooling 5. An estimation is made on the total value of the various options of external cooling, focusing on the new build sector. Much of the data centre cooling market makes use of existing external cooling products already in situ, or the internal cooling products are replacing existing products that have reached the end of their life cycle (like for like replacement), or are displacing other products (rear door heat exchangers replacing CRAC units) 6. Future outlook on the likely growth or decline in each markets is also given 1.
