Data centres are niche no longer
Capital inflow has allowed the industry to expand at a lower cost.
MORE than US$100 billion has flowed into the data centre ecosystem in the past decade, with pension funds, private equity firms, infrastructure funds, sovereign wealth funds and many other organisations recognising the growth potential of this sector.
This capital has allowed the industry to expand at a lower cost as many funds have taken ownership positions in new companies rather than acquiring data centres asset by asset.
These funds have been looking to deploy a similar amount of capital if attractive opportunities arise.
