Troubling for operators: Capacity forecasting and maintaining cost competitiveness
In the recently published 2019 Uptime Institute supplier survey, participants told us they are witnessing higher than normal data center spending patterns. This is in line with general market trends, driven by the demand for data and digital services. It is also a welcome sign for those suppliers who witnessed a downturn two to three years ago, as public cloud began to take a bite.
The increase in spending is not only by hyperscalers known to be designing for 100x scalability and building for 10x growth. Smaller facilities (under 20 MW) are also seeing continued investment, including in higher levels of redundancy at primary sites (a trend that may have surprised some).
