Hosted by Schneider Electric, Global Community of Data Center Industry Experts, Leaders and Visionaries Come Together to Drive Colocation Business Growth in New International Colocation Club
WEST KINGSTON, RI– March 1, 2018 The colocation industry is booming with no near-term end in sight as IoT, Artificial Intelligence and cloud computing continue to drive the need for data processing at the edge. 2017 was the single biggest year for merger & acquisitions in the industry, with upwards of $20 billion in activity. Yet, the industry remains highly fragmented with more than 1000 providers today. As colocation executives are seeking investment, understanding how investors are evaluating their business is critical to attaining the right investors and financial commitment. This is the topic for the first Digital International Colocation Club (ICC) webcast “Attracting Investors” featuring Steve Wallage of BroadGroup Consulting and hosted by Schneider Electric.
