Report Synopsis
The report suggests that current conditions prevailing in the Australia and New Zealand data centre sector are likely to drive a renewed emphasis on server and storage consolidation and virtualisation, as well as further proliferation of high density blade technologies.
Older facilities with legacy design issues mainly related to electrical mechanical infrastructure and security, will face critical challenges as demand for power and cooling increases which suggests major investment will be required to upgrade.
Market trends towards change, consolidation and M&A inform the outlook for the data centre sector in both countries. The report also suggests the entry of telecommunication carriers into IT services market, including the provisioning of data centres represents a change factor. However, Australia and New Zealand markets are strongly characterised by the significant presence of IT outsourcers who dominate the top 10 data centre players by size.
Brisbane (Australia) and Auckland (New Zealand) are set to increase space with several new Data Centres over the next 12-18 months. Sydney and Melbourne (Australia) and possibly Wellington (New Zealand) are likely to see new facilities built within 2-4 years on the basis of current plans identified.
The forward view provided in some detail in the report, suggests a reduced availability of quality space, increased prices for racks and hosting, and increased power costs. These findings suggest a greater requirement for investment, but may also point to further consolidation.
The report provides immense detail on services, providers, technologies used as well as an analysis of the commercial and technical issues confronting data centre services. All major vendors and the majority of smaller service providers are detailed in this report, which also contains city maps with data centre locations identified.
