Data center operations and companies see sustained growth in market performance

Data center market performance reveals sustained growth with data center operators and companies continuing to outperform the major indices. The market tracker following data centers is compiled each month by AHV Associates LLP, and provided to subscribers of Datacentres.com, the networking hub for data centers, researched by consulting firm BroadGroup.

This month’s research shows that activity in the data center markets is continuing to support the establishment of new funds from Russia to Saudi Arabia, and investment is being sustained in new data center businesses. The report cites recent IPO filings and draft registration statements.

Steve Wallage, managing director of BroadGroup Consulting commented, “BroadGroup has taken the view for some time that data centers represent a new asset class. Data centers have continued to attract high levels of investment with more than USD15 billion global data center investment last year. Growth has been sustained, and internationalisation is being pursued with a range of finance and investment strategies.”

The data center research suggests that operators are choosing from a range of options open to them including bonds, private equity, and IPOs. Given the acceleration likely through the adoption of Private Cloud over the next five years, and future demand for data centers, BroadGroup believes that constraints will remain for unlisted or under-funded companies.

The consultancy firm works with investment agencies, investors in data centers and enterprises and provides independent analysis and benchmarks. BroadGroup is hosting its annual Data Centre Europe Conference at Espaces Antipolis, near Nice in France from 24 – 25 June 2010.
