COLOCATION DATA CENTERS OPPORTUNITY
Our initial objective is to raise approximately $84 million in equity or debt to build the first in a series of data centers throughout the United States. Each center will begin with five 10,000 sq. ft. structures to house colocation/ data centers and cloud capabilities. Each center is expandable to 350,000 sf. ft. The investment or debt will be spread over five (5) quarters which are the time necessary to design and build the facility.
Product and Specifications
ABC provides mission critical data center facilities that protect and ensure the continued operation of information technology (“IT”) infrastructure. We develop purpose-built facilities with redundant power, cooling and fiber that are not network specific, enabling customer interconnectivity to a range of telecommunications carriers. We intend to build a scalable carrier neutral retail/wholesale data center business in the United States and ultimately abroad. We anticipate developing up to 30 megawatts (MW) per year per 100,000 square feet of white space/data center space.
Market Size
The Growth of the Colocation Industry by 2020 - The data center colocation market size will grow from USD 25.70 Billion in 2015 to USD 54.13 Billion by 2020, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.1%. Increasing adoption of cloud computing has led the organizations to upgrade to the upcoming technological solutions, such as modular data center infrastructure and virtualization for data center. This acts as a primary driving factor for the market as colocation initiatives helps companies to reduce costs and support cloud computing and storage. Other driving forces include reduction of capital expenditure (Capex), reliability, efficiency, and security; and bandwidth scalability.
