The global data center colocation market is witnessing significant growth owing to the rising demand for economical, energy efficient and scalable data storage facilities among organizations. Colocation or rather third-party data center services offer flexible and low-cost IT infrastructure solutions allowing companies to focus on their core business functions instead of infrastructure management and round-the-clock facility support. With growing digital transformation initiatives, enterprises across industry verticals including BFSI, telecom, and healthcare are outsourcing their data storage needs to these specialized colocation providers who own and operate large-scale interconnected data centers equipped with redundant power sources and security systems to ensure uninterrupted critical workload operation.

Market Dynamics:

The global data center colocation market is driven by the growing need for scalable and cost-effective data center solutions among SMEs and large enterprises. Legacy infrastructure is difficult and expensive to scale as per changing workload demands. Colocation eliminates upfront capital costs associated with data center build and maintenance while providing flexibility to pay as per usage through an operating expense model. Additionally, stringent regulatory standards for data security and concerns around downtime is propelling organizations to rely on geographically dispersed colocation facilities with high availability controls. However, high initial migration costs from captive facilities to colocation providers and dependence on third party for infrastructure management are some challenges restraining rapid market adoption. Introduction of edge colocation services integrating IoT and 5G networks provide new opportunities for decentralized application deployment and hybrid cloud integration.
