About the Report
The TCL New Telco Data Centre – Pricing for the New Telecoms Data Centre – 2014 to 2019 report analyses the market for Telecommunications Data Centres (Carrier Based Data Centres) which are facilities that are owned by a Telecoms Provider.
TCL provides a definition of the New Telco Data Centre used for the purposes of this report below:
¡°The New Telco Data Centre is defined as being a facility that can provide multiple services and uses with different grades of service and power. Multiple halls – or modular zones – are being constructed to cater for the provision of network equipment, hosting, colocation & housing and managed services. The Data Centre can cater for both the Telco¡¯s own services and third party enterprise users. And for enterprise users different grades of power and SLA can be provided to meet different price points or requirements¡±.
The use of Data Centre facilities by the Telco has changed over time, from being a supplementary service to house telecoms equipment and provide cross connects to becoming a core service, which enables new revenue streams, including Hosting, Cloud & Managed Services. As the Telecoms Data Centre role has changed from being a pure colocation and housing facility to the provision of value added services, the term New Telco Data Centre can be used.
The report is based on a survey of 57 Telecoms Providers with Data Centre facilities based across 33 countries worldwide. The Telecoms Providers included in the survey meet the following criteria:
Build, own & operate their own Telco Data Centre facilities Provide a wide range of services from their own Data Centre facilities Have made recent new Data Centre investments
