BroadGroup: Industry Report Forecasts ?3.3billion Data Centre Investment for Nordic Region by 2017
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Oslo 8 October 2015: International Data centre analyst, BroadGroup, will be
presenting the findings of the new Nordic region industry report at Datacloud
Nordic conference to be held in Oslo on the 15(th) October 2015.
(http://www.datacloudnordic.com) The Nordic region is set to benefit from
significant data centre investment over the next three years, of an estimated
?3.3billion with more than 49% derived from overseas Internet players.
Findings of a new report by BroadGroup 'Data Centre Nordics' covering Iceland,
Norway, Sweden, Finland and Denmark, and 112 operators, suggest that the market
in third party data centres will increase by almost two and a half times in m2
space and triple MW power requirements from current levels by the end of 2017.
Denmark benefits hugely through the construction of a vast new Apple data centre
in Viborg, central Jutland.
The region's attractiveness as a data centre location relies on a mix of lower
cost and taxes for an abundance of renewable energy particularly hydro-electric
and wind power, incentives offered by inward investment agencies, highly
educated workforce and standards of governance.
Industrial electricity pricing in the Nordic Region remains the lowest in the
EU-28 countries. The report finds that energy providers range as low as Euro
?0.03 per kW Hour, excluding taxes, with the Nord Pole (Ulea) region in Northern
Sweden and Western Norway offering the lowest electricity costs for Data Centre
facilities.
Overseas investment by the likes of Google, Apple, Yandex and Facebook have
strongly impacted the region and in some cases influenced the emergence of
digital eco systems. However the recent announcement by Norwegian operator
Lefdal which proposes a 120k m2 facility underlines investment by local players
can be substantial and is likely to continue.
With business models largely focused on delivering colocation, hosting and cloud
services, the number of wholesale providers remain rare. Telcos still dominate
in terms of number of facilities but as new players and entrants build out
through to 2017, their market share, with the exception of TeliaSonera, will
diminish.
"The Nordic Region is set for growth with new demand, build and market
entrants," commented Philip Low, managing director, BroadGroup. "Lower power
costs, abundant resources of green energy, local and international investment,
connectivity, taxation incentives, and natural cooling efficiencies present a
formidable argument for consideration in the international IT deployment plans
of any global enterprise."
The report's highlights will be presented to industry leaders at the first
Datacloud Nordic conference to be held At the Scandic Fornebu in Oslo on October
15(th). The report profiles of many of the key data centre players, energy
companies, and fibre providers located in the region. Industry experts will
also gather to discuss data centre challenges and opportunities across the
Nordic region including: How will cloud impact colocation? Which business models
deliver ROI? And, how will the region compete with other data center locations?
Philip Low added: "The conference is attracting interest not only from Nordic
organisations wanting to know how to address the many challenges that confront
companies adapting to a cloud environment, but also international enterprises
and investors who perceive growth and development opportunities across the five
key markets."
