11 REPORT EXTRACTS Executive summary BroadGroup s report looks at the issues affecting the German data centre market demand and supply. It examines the national market from a variety of angles, including customer attitudes to using third party data centre services, environmental, regulatory and business issues impacting development and growth in IP traffic all factors underlying market change. It also examines regional influences on data centre location which are distinguishing characteristics of the German market. The broader question is whether the demand will be in- house or outsourced. Some of the drivers for outsourcing or out- tasking (a preferred term in the German market) discussed in the report include: Economic climate leading to make or buy decisions and growing willingness to out- task Growing compliance requirements leading to greater storage requirements and leading to the use of off- site locations Improving risk management by using diverse locations for business data or establishing second, back up locations Compensating for lack of data centre skills in a fast moving technological environment, where total cost of ownership and operational efficiency is becoming paramount Green strategies leading to the need for power efficient data centre operations Factors inhibiting market change include Historical reluctance to outsource in terms of using co- location or hosted third party services German users have recently begun to close the 5 year+ gap that exists in the domestic market when compared with other European markets such as the UK, France and Netherlands. The strength of Mittelstand (top end SME) sector and inherent resistance to change existing trusted supplier relationship Concerns about data protection and requirement by many customers for data centres to be close by, as well as concerns about security of third party data centre operations The regional characteristics of the market are evaluated and details of focus, players and future outlook discussed for Berlin, Düsseldorf, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Munich, Nürnberg, Stuttgart and other locations. Frankfurt has established itself as the major data centre hub in Germany and represents some 70 80% of current demand. Frankfurt is home to DE- CIX, Europe s second largest Internet exchange and Germany s leading ISP exchange with over 400 Internet Service Providers and carriers connected in Page 11

12 If Germany s data centre needs are outsourced, who will be the winners and losers? Leading players into the market are analysed with SWOTs and other players are discussed. The total German third party data centre market is calculated by market segment and assessed and the implications of trends to are assessed.
