11 Market Overview HOUSTON DATA CENTER MARKET OVERVIEW Like most parts of the county, Houston continues to see continued evolution of the data center industry and market demand. Trends in Outsourcing, Hybrid, Cloud, Edge, Hyperscale; all except the last could be applicable terms for Houston over the last few years. Like other secondary markets, Houston was predominately an enterprise, private data center market until colocation operators began to build facilities in the area. Now major providers such as Digital Realty and Cyrus One among others have modern facilities in the market. Hybrid Deployments: Users are allocating workloads and apps in public clouds and with third party providers that can offer the spectrum of services under flexible yet financially predictable contracts. Driven primarily by the oil & gas industry, demand for new data center space declined last year. The more the overall Houston economy diversifies as it grows, the steadier the absorption of data center space and power has become. With events such as Hurricane Harvey, the move to facilities and operators built to handle these risks become more attractive. Growth in the Internet of Things (IoT): The number of connected devices is expected to exceed 50 billion by 2020, up from 18.2 billion in Going forward, ebbs in the recent market demand will keep pricing competitive. As the market needs diversity (more sectors in the area and newer needs such as edge computing) the market will see growing demand as providers give more service and contract flexibility. Trends Driving the Market More users are getting out of the data center business: Refresh cycles, data security compliance and the cost of operating mission critical facilities keep corporations assessing their strategic investments and core IT competencies. The Enterprise Data Center Still Lives, For Now... 83% of enterprises surveyed in North America still rely on their own data center only 17% 49% 18% rely solely on cloud service providers or colocation providers reported using both their own infrastructure and third parties (cloud or colocation providers), indicating a hybrid cloud world of survey respondents expect to build a data center in the next two years nearly 37% 50% Outsourcing: IT cost and complexity issues are driving enterprises to tap more resources outside of their own data center to meet business needs. Shadow IT: Cloud adoption is putting pressure on IT leadership to provide rapid solutions and corral deployments by other company departments. Edge Data Centers: Increased capacity, lower latency and local relevancy are driving development of smaller local data centers to connect content and apps to users faster. When enterprises run out of capacity, 62% said they would consider their IT infrastructure to accommodate growth, and 41% said they d use an IaaS, SaaS, or PaaS provider. Thirty-five percent said they d rent space at a colocation provider of organizations that are increasing their spending are upgrading or retrofitting existing facilities of organizations are deploying production applications in the cloud By 2018, 50% of all server racks in North America will be located at cloud and colocation data centers, up from 40% today, the study indicated Source: 451 Research COLLIERS INTERNATIONAL 11 Colliers Minneapolis-St. Paul Technology Services maintains a proprietary database of available data Dan Peterson Senior Associate Technology Solutions
