Synopsis

The Tariff Consultancy Ltd (TCL) Data Centre Middle East - 2015 (Data Centre Pricing 2015 to 2020) report was produced and updated during the period October 2014. Data Centre pricing, capacity and revenue in the report is shown from the beginning of 2015. 

The report is an updated version of the earlier 2012 TCL Data Centre Middle East report published in February 2012 - with Data Centre forecasts in the previous report running from the end of 2012 to the end of 2017.

In 2015 edition shows the Middle East Data Centre pricing trends over the 5 year period from the beginning of 2015 to the beginning of 2020. It updates the projected growth rate based on new data, including actual new Data Centre build outs made in the region since 2012, and is also based on updated rack space pricing in the TCL pricing database.

To derive the space forecast in the report TCL hasperformed a “bottom up” survey of all the identifiable Data Centres in each of the eight countries in the report, with overall Data Centre raised floor space and utilisation levels forecast from the beginning of 2015 to the beginning of 2020.

The new TCL Data Centre Middle East – 2015 report differs from the earlier 2012 TCL report in the following 3 main ways:

• The TCL forecast for Data Centre raised floor space, utilisation and revenue in the 8 Middle East countries in this report starts from the beginning of 2015 (rather than the end of 2012) for the 5-year period to the beginning of 2020.


• TCL has re-assessed the Data Centre market in each of the 8 countries and have re-checked the net facility raised floor space that is available. This has meant altering upwards the Data Centre raised floor space trends in the UAE, Saudi Arabia & Jordan, but lowering the Data Centre raised floor space trends in Bahrain, Israel & Qatar.


• TCL has also obtained new rack space pricing from selected Middle Eastern Data Centre providers, which has been used to determine the revised revenue per square metre.

In the 2015 report TCL has collated information from some 57 Data Centre providers across the Middle East (up from 41 Data Centre providers previously), with 91 individual Data Centre and collocation facilities (up from 60 Data Centre facilities previously) identified in the 8 countries in the survey
