Report Synopsis
“The first definitive assessment of data centre businesses in Asia, and how a much changed marketplace will emerge over the next five years.”
- Data Centre Operator
Internet Data Centres Asia reviews the market at an apposite moment in the evolution of the sector. Across the 11 economies surveyed, the report suggests that data centre markets are more complex and multi-faceted businesses than found elsewhere, that a multi-tiered system of operations – as opposed to a “regional” market - exists at present and that the period through to 2010 will be characterised by step change involving consolidation, significant shifts in demand, and the emergence of India as a leading player.
Key challenges for Data Centres are common across the region – and include space constraints especially in dense city centres, the need to upgrade facilities to internationally accepted standards, shifting the model towards managed services which have yet to fully evolve across all the countries covered, the cost of power which has yet to fully emerge as an critical issue, and in those countries where power supply issues are more acute, and a lack of available skilled staff.
Yet a diversity of business models reveals the wide range of approaches, market conditions, customer base and the resources and capabilities open to data centres in the region. Pursuit of wholesale models, colocation, internationalisation and more rarely, managed services, defines the service menu now, although the report suggests significant changes are likely to occur over the period assessed.
The report reviews the conundrum of the relationship between Data Centres and Enterprise customers. A commonly expressed view found in research for the report is an apparent lack of awareness by Enterprises of the cost-benefit of migrating to third party outsourcers. Conversely customised solutions available through managed services are not yet widely provided in part because of the diversity of business models referred to, but also because of the implications managed services hold in terms of investment in equipment and the attendant challenges. Yet the survey reports on the success of Integrators who are winning managed services contracts. Enterprises are also resorting to “self-build” projects to control and protect their IT in a way that they do not apparently obtain currently from data centres.
Investment therefore remains a critical key to the future of data centres in the region, and the report assesses the consequences of failure to do so, in a market that still only barely touches the overall total potential.
Each country is assessed individually, including player profiles, market structure and key constraints. Multi-site, Integrator and non-Asian “regional” players are also profiled and evaluated.
The report concludes with forecasts of space and service revenues 2006-2010.
