Bad call crashed the data centres
Snow, J.
Bad call crashed the data centres - 2001 - Estates Gazette (0140) 6 October 2001, 148-149(2) .
The predicted huge demand for data centres never materialised, and the UK colocation market now appears to be in crisis. Over the past Q there have been numerous stories illustrating the malaise that has gripped the business. Looks at the history of colocation demand, and the reasons why the market has slumped. Also discusses whether the concept of colocation is still valid. Contends that it does have a future, suggesting that the growth of internet use and the take-up of broadband access will be the main drivers of demand for data centre space.
