New investment in data centres around Europe, including Britain, will be triggered by an increase in demand for data centre space, a consultancy firm has predicted.
Broadgroup Consulting has said the shortage of space and power in locations such as London and the availability of special economic development zones will see more data centre investment in the regions, especially as a feature of those development zones is an attempt to attract disaster recovery and business continuity specialists, Manufacturingtalk.com reports.
Looking forward to next month's Finance and Investment Forum about Investing in data centres, Broadgroup Consulting managing director Steve Wallage said: "Regional development bodies and investment companies are seeking to benefit from this issue, as are specific geographic authorities which can increasingly boast strong data centre offerings."
Demand for UK data centre space and colocation facilities has surged in the last year following four years of flat growth, Techworld.com reported earlier this month.
