Supply problems favor standardization and scale
The COVID-19 pandemic has stressed supply chains globally, resulting in higher prices and increased delivery times for many components. Shortages and delays are likely to persist into 2022 and beyond as demand for IT, and for new data center capacity, continues to increase.
To keep pace, data center owners and their suppliers are taking steps to mitigate supply-chain disruption — but the playing field is far from level. The biggest operators, and especially those with a multinational operation, are using their buying-power, relationships and scale to secure supplies, while smaller ones may struggle. This will further widen the cost advantage that bigger data center builders and operators already enjoy.
