Meeting demand for connectivity in data centres

It is estimated that over 59 zettabytes of data were created, captured, copied, and consumed last year (a zettabyte is a trillion gigabytes). The digital infrastructure to enable this is significant.

The data centre is now a recognised real estate asset type and there is no shortage of investment funds looking to capitalise on the market conditions. End-user spending on global data centre infrastructure is projected to reach $200bn in 2021.
