Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Data Center Colocation Market
The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted global economies with extensive lockdowns, which forced people to stay at home. As a result, the sustainability of data centers has become a growing concern for operators as they are widely known to consume a lot of resources. The COVID-19 outbreak has altered the data center construction in many regions. The opening of several new facilities was halted for three months, owing to the limited labor and disruptions in the supply of parts. This is hampering the growth of the data center colocation market in the present scenario. However, the strong presence of some leading providers delivering data centers colocation facilities such as Equinix; CenturyLink; and AT&T, Inc.; is significantly contributing to the market growth through the adoption of strategic collaborations, new product launches, and funding to the technological advancements.

Data Center Colocation Market Insights Advent of 5G Services to Surge Demand for Advanced Data Center Infrastructure A modern colocation data center is a connectivity hub, facilitating customers to switch directly to the services they require over a single cross-connect or even with a quick and secure direct connection such as Microsoft’s Azure ExpressRoute. As the telecom operators are currently involved in rolling out the first wave of 5G services, data centers can support network service providers to extend their reach more rapidly through colocation services. Providing reliable 5G services is expected to require more data center infrastructure than several network service providers presently have at their disposal. With the continuous rise in internet usage, leading to greater data demands, data center colocation would emerge as a highly attractive and cost-effective solution for the telecommunications sector. Moreover, a significant number of companies cannot afford to expand their existing on-premises solutions or increase capacity by constructing a private data center. Through strategic collaborations with experienced data center colocation providers, they can gain all the benefits of a state-of-the-art facility without the need for substantial capital investments to build one. Thus, the emergence of 5G technology and its services is anticipated to propel the growth of the data center colocation market in the near future. On May 5, 2020, IBM announced new services and solutions to help enterprises and telecommunications companies speed up their transition to edge computing in the 5G era. The solution will help organizations across the globe to deal with the blazing speed and extremely low latency and transmission delays brought about by the rollout of wireless 5G telecommunications networks. The solutions also enable enterprises to reduce the complexity of managing workloads across various devices and help them quickly deliver edge-enabled services to customers. Clients across industries can leverage the benefits of edge computing, AI, and analytics to achieve organizational insights.
