Future Challenges For European Data Centres

The BroadGroup Data Centres Europe 2007 Conference held over two days from the 22nd to the 23rd of March in London looked into the future for the Data Centre provider across Europe. Although the present trends for the Data Centre looked bright with high utilisation and demand for services outstripping supply in many established markets, a number of issues are emerging which may impact the business:

Shortage of space for new build Data Centre sites, with planning permission difficult to obtain in developed markets
In some areas a shortage of new power and telecoms infrastructure was limiting expansion
Concern was expressed about the impact of proposed regulation aimed at limiting carbon emissions by properties
Concern whether the Data Centre sector as a whole is putting forward its case about its critical role in a positive way
Debate about the best way for Data Centre providers to engage with the wider IT services and hardware community on issues such as power and cooling
