Take-Up

markets

average for quarterly take-up.
• London also recorded the highest level of take-up for any
single market on record with 15.8MW.

of 2016 than it did in the entirety of 2014 and 2015 combined.

5-year average for annual take-up in 62MW and the highest ever

Cloud Traffic Growth
*Cisco Global Cloud Index: Forecast and Methodology 2013–2018 White Paper
By 2018 the APAC region will see more cloud
traffic than any other region, overtaking the US.
The above figures are Cisco’s projections for cloud traffic growth, which are useful to show the emergence of the APAC region but we should be careful
on the overall significance of this change in traffic. We expect data centre traffic to continue year-on-year in the APAC region, but at a steady pace.
The symbiotic relationship between cloud providers and enterprises using the cloud is that they both meet in colo facilities. Enterprises using the cloud
will typically want a private connection to the cloud and to have their choice of cloud provider through these carrier neutral data centre facilities.

MARKET TRENDS

‘The sector is at an all-time high for
investment activity and this has
driven prices to historically high
levels.
Notwithstanding this, high barriers
to entry and the capital intensive
nature of the business are keeping
investors interested.’
