What drives site selection is changing rapidly as the fight for power and land is causing a break away from the reliance on existing availability zones. Vacancy rates in all the main markets are continuing to go down and there is even less available capacity. This panel will consider:
-
Traditional availability zones – How is the landscape changing and are we breaking the reliance on the existing availability zones?
-
How are fibre and energy companies working together to connect pipelines?
-
How is faster planning permission for less traditional locations affecting site selection?
-
What’s driving site selection – Accessibility or price?
-
Is power trumping the availability of network?
