PHOENIX, AZ – As more global companies move data and
information to the cloud, the cloud itself is actually moving closer to them.
According to JLL’s annual Data Center Outlook,
several North American data center markets – including Phoenix – have emerged
as hotspots as operators and cloud providers follow affordable utility rates,
tax incentives and a demand for expanded service offerings.
For an industry expected to see revenue grow
by 14 percent over the next two years, footprint flexibility has proven to be a
key driver.
“For every penny a data
center provider can save in Kilowatt hours (kwH), there is the potential to
save millions in operations,” said Jon
Meisel, East Region lead for JLL’s Data Center Solutions.
“So our clients have to be
very strategic with their footprints. It’s still about locating near
infrastructure-robust metropolitan areas, but it’s also about finding ways to
be efficient with their locations. If that means placing some part of their
footprint in regions with more flexible utility costs, incentives packages or
lower taxes, providers will expand into those areas.”
