Data Center infrastructure investment is on the rise, reaching over $26B in spend at the end of the third quarter of 2011. As reported by the research firm Canalys late last year, cloud computing, virtualization strategies, and optimization initiatives are all contributing to this trend.
Another key area driving this growth is related to a 39% investment by larger data centers as they beef up their infrastructures to stay current with the latest technologies. It is estimated that storage spends accounted for 25% and Ethernet networking accounted for 21% of the overall spends. Both end-users and customers of those data centers will reap the benefits of these results, as they will have increased options, enhanced capabilities and access to added features going into 2012. For Telehouse, we led a complete build out of our Telehouse Cloud Computing Complex in Hong Kong that will showcase one of the most powerful data centers in the region. Likewise, our Telehouse West facility far surpasses the industry standard for renewable energy, ‘Green’ commitments and localized data center environments on a per rack basis.
