CW Data Center Global Market Comparison 2020

ECOSYSTEM ADVANTAGES

Sustainability can arise from simply using those energy sources in abundance near each market. Hydropower is a natural choice in areas with large amounts of precipitation, as is solar power in desert locations.

THE TOP FIVE IN SUSTAINABILITY

LAS VEGAS Wind and solar power play well in an arid desert location.

MONTREAL Hydroelectric power runs the entire province and particularly the local data center sector.

SYDNEY Local political commitments to sustainability have led to major improvements in Sydney.

VANCOUVER Rainy British Columbia provides plenty of water power for the small Vancouver data center market.

SEATTLE Hydropower is key in Seattle as well, with local enterprises insisting on green energy.

As large corporations and local governments pursue their own sustainability goals, data centers will be required to follow suit to meet future regulatory concerns and obtain further business. Those facilities that maintain a low power usage effectiveness, use water sparingly and utilize renewable energy will benefit both in cost savings and partners. WHAT TO WATCH
