To meet the rapidly growing demand for their services, hyperscale users and cloud providers are expanding aggressively, and wholesale data center providers play a pivotal role in supporting this growth. So what are the implications for the design and build of these facilities to ensure that they can handle this surge in data and demand?

Our expert panel will examine how customer demands are evolving and what this means for the future of wholesale build. How will the need for data centers with ultra-high-speed connectivity capabilities driven by the ultra-low latency requirements of many of today’s cloud-delivered applications impact site selection, design and build? How can cost efficiency and speed be prioritised when balancing increasing complexity and customer demands for flexibility? Could the more collaborative “build-to-suit” approach become the new norm in wholesale design and construction?
