Introduction

This new report is packed with detail and reviews player and market segmentation, companies engaged in selling services into the data centre sector, assesses occupancy rates, price movements and market value, a comparative analysis of metro markets in each country, and company profiles of all 79 players who collectively operate more than 175 data centres.

In this the second edition of the Australia and New Zealand Data Centres market report, a large number of updates have been included to reflect the changes that have taken place during the last 2 years. Every vendor profile was carefully reviewed and updated to outline new capabilities, business directions and other changes. In addition to this, 22 new data centre service providers were identified and included in the report, bringing the total to 79.

In addition to tracking changes in vendors and market players, the report features two new chapters assessing green data centres and an emerging managed services market. The original chapter on Enterprise data centres has been completely re-written.

As relatively mature markets, Australia and New Zealand are valued by BroadGroup at approximately A$ 1 billion (USD 685m). They are also competitive relative to Asian markets, in which economically, they are increasingly integrated. Prices are continuing to rise as availability remains constrained although the impact of consolidation and the economy may stall further capacity increases in the medium term. Much also depends on the sustainability of IT outsourcing to third parties, and to what extent Australia in particular makes a greater play as an international data centre location with marketing focused on its Green credentials.

Investment for construction is increasingly becoming a major near-term issue in some key metro markets, and yield requirements have caused pressure on new build developments forcing higher pre-commitments to reduce risk exposure. In the medium term, focus will shift to Canberra and Sydney. Developments in other cities identified are still planned but it remains to be seen whether they will go ahead. The report anticipates the postponement or cancellation of several major new projects over the next 12-24 months.

Data centre space has increased overall by 12% since the last report but the annual growth rate for new capacity will drop significantly over 2009-2010, following which the report adopts a cautious posture and predicts growth rates to recover gradually but still on a lower growth trajectory, achieving an overall increase in capacity of approximately 25% by 2015.

The race has changed from space to capacity and efficiency and the report expects heightened competition by vendors supplying into the sector. However a combination of factors identified in the report will sustain price increases witnessed over the past two years. This does not mean sustained increases, but maintenance of present healthy yields.

Green IT and managed services have been identified in the report as two areas that may exercise profound influence on the data centre markets covered over the next 12-24 months. As key market drivers, they will impact together with further consolidation in the hosting sector, and IT outsourcing by enterprises. However in Australia Greening will occur more through regulatory pressure although introduced on a phased basis. Resistance to spending on Green however will be more pronounced within tight economic circumstances.

The report is supplemented by valuable analyses of data centre provider space and data centres, location and contact details. It also includes an appendix containing 9 city maps showing locations of data centre facilities.
