Navisite - colocation in London

An older blog post, related to the state of the colocation market in the UK and London:

>>The demand for premium data center and scalable network capacity in the European market is the main catalyst for NaviSite’s expansion plans in the UK colocation market. Gartner research says that some UK colocation providers are experiencing annual increases in demand of 30% or more. Gartner further estimates that in high-demand areas like London, if significant new data center space is not brought on-stream, there will be no free space left by the end of the decade. In fact, this rising demand and limited supply is what is allowing providers to continue to increase pricing. The UK colocation pricing is the highest in Western Europe and would continue to rise at rates higher than inflation for the next couple of years.

Furthermore on current trends it’s predicted that by 2009, 15% of all shopping in the UK will be done on the internet.

So in this world of e-opportunities, the colocation space continues to thrive. And NaviSite continues to lead and redefine this space with its managed data center solutions that are flexible, reliable, and robust - be it utility computing platforms, secure back-up services, on-demand storage, virtual servers, network security solutions, and cloud computing.
