Research Shows Growing Pipeline of Datacenter Development
May 8, 2008

According to results from a study commissioned by San Francisco-based internet gateway datacenter owner Digital Realty Trust Inc., the number of datacenter projects on tap for the U.S. over the next 12 months is substantially higher than the anticipated figures from one year ago. An increasing need for IT infrastructure among businesses in a vast range of industries, Digital Realty Trust CEO Michael F. Foust explained, is spurring the demand for more space.  Among the survey's host of telling indicators was the finding that 45 percent of the respondents expect to expand to at least three locations within the year, marking a 20 percent jump over the amount of expansions anticipated in the 2007 poll. Additionally, the amount of space being planned for expansion sites has increased from 10,000 square feet last year to 15,000 square feet.
