One of the trends driving changing data center environments is DENSITY and how end users deploy their infrastructure. Here we discuss how changes in density are impacting the data center industry.

Here's what's happening in the data center industry during 2Q 2018 - 1. Large user demand 2. Increased International Demand 3. Telecom Providers EXIT the space 4. Operators Push Toward Efficiency

The Chicago market continues to see development activity and user interest in both the downtown and suburb areas of the greater Chicago area. Several new data center operators announced new future projects for the market, which will add over 60+ MW of commissioned power when fully delivered.

Several data center trends took place in Dallas in the first quarter of 2018. The market absorption was lighter than normal, but we anticipate Dallas will get to the traditional 30 MW of absorption by the end of 2018. Garland is continuing to show itself as an area where several data center operators are preparing for long term growth. The demand is coming from enterprise users and smaller cloud r...

The Northern California Data Center Market is increasingly active and looks to continue this trend in 2018. The market posted over 6 MW of gross absorption in the first quarter, with additional supply coming online that pushed the vacancy rate higher. We believe we'll continue to see data center operators entering this market in 2018 from a strategic standpoint.

It was a busy 1Q for the Northern Virginia Data Center Market. The area saw high levels of absorption, continual interest from large transactions and data center operators focused on long term growth. The Northern Virginia data center market is approximately 800 MW of commissioned power and the vacancy rate stood at 5.6% at the end of the quarter.
