RESEARCH SHOWS SECURITY AND COMPLIANCE CONCERNS DRIVE UPWARD TREND IN DATA CENTRE INVESTMENT
The latest study by Telehouse International Corporation of Europe , a leading global data centre services provider , has revealed that a large proportion of IT decision-makers are gearing up for higher investments in data centres .
The report , Vision 2030 : Identifying and navigating the emerging demands on your digital infrastructure , surveyed 250 UK IT decision-makers on digital infrastructure challenges and opportunities over the next decade .
Amidst the dynamic and fast-evolving landscape of digital threats and regulatory necessities , a notable 61 % of IT decision-makers are planning to ramp up their data centre investment in the coming decade .
This strategic shift is largely due to the mounting requirements to bolster security measures and stay compliant with tightening regulatory standards .
Emerging technologies such as AI and IoT are creating newer and broader vulnerabilities , turning cybersecurity into a priority . Notably , a third ( 33 %) of IT decision-makers identify cyberthreats as the paramount concern affecting network uptime . Looking into the next decade , 30 % believe that upholding security and ensuring regulatory compliance will be their biggest challenge by 2030 .
The escalating security concerns and the intricate tapestry of regulations are steering businesses to re-evaluate their IT deployment strategies . The need for fortified security and stringent compliance is pushing 54 % of IT decision-makers towards colocation services .
While seeking enhanced security and compliance benefits , companies also perceive cost-effectiveness as a driver behind transitioning from on-premises models to colocation services . By 2030 , a downward trend in on-prem deployment is expected , declining from 32 % to 26 %.
