Executive Summary

Are you running out of data center space or planning for a backup data center? Today, more companies are looking to colocation and managed services in lieu of building their own facility. Why? For many, the upfront capital required to build a facility is prohibitive and the lead time too long. Additionally, in areas like Western Europe that have limited power availability, negotiating with utility companies to provide sufficient power at a reasonable rate can be difficult. As a result, adoption of colocation and managed services in Western Europe is growing quickly, outpacing adoption in the US. This report will outline factors to consider when choosing a provider and location for colocation and managed services in Western Europe, including risk profile, cost, and availability of utilities, labor, space, and, of course, the regulatory environment.
