This bi-annual study reviews the state of the data centre market in Europe, and provides forecasts for space and service revenues over the next five years. Based on interviews with more than 100 operators (representing a total of in excess of 400 facilities) the report provides definitive insight into market drivers, player profiles and strategies, space, pricing, as well as the challenges being confronted. The report also documents market trends, and the more pronounced engagement in the sector by telcos.

A detailed assessment of space and availability reveals the changing pattern of data centre evolution, the continued rise of managed services, and trends in location.

While enterprises continue to define the data centre story, emerging segments first identified in the 2005 report reveal new growth opportunities.

The central part of the report is the European Data Centre Market Review, across the 21 countries included.

Covering an array of topics, the report also comments on attitudes towards virtualisation and high density solutions, key challenges for data centres and those on the horizon, and the potential emergence of global energy benchmarks.

The final section provides forecasts of space per country, and service revenues.
