Summary
APAC has become a hotbed of datacenter investments, fueled by rising data consumption and adoption of cloud-based technologies in some of the world’s fastest-growing, vibrant digital economies. Developed datacenter hubs such as Singapore and Tokyo continue to draw interest, but an influx of capital into emerging markets is driving decentralization within the region. Sustainability concerns are a key factor behind this phenomenon, as the power-intensive nature of the industry is complicating growth in some markets. The collision between growth and sustainability will shape the path of the region’s datacenter market.
Join us to learn about the unfolding trends impacting APAC’s datacenter sector.
During this webinar we will discuss:
- The latest data points that shed light on the evolution of the region’s leased datacenter market.
- Which are the hotspots in datacenter investments—near-term events and developments to look out for
- What do the power costs look like—power market situation and policies in key datacenter locations
- Does APAC have enough green energy—can these new markets meet growing customer demand for renewable energy to power datacenters?
