In this enlightening episode, join hosts Mike Netzer, VP of Sales and Marketing, and David Liggitt, President and Founder, at datacenterHawk as they unravel the complexities, trends, and future strategies shaping the industry. Whether you're a veteran insider or just beginning to explore this high-energy sector, this episode is brimming with insights that promise to elevate your understanding and keep you abreast of the latest industry developments.Understanding Hyperscale: A Definition and Its Impact We kick off with a foundational exploration into what truly constitutes "hyperscale" in today's data-driven economy. These are not just your typical data centers; they're expansive campuses with gigawatt capabilities crucial for giants like tech conglomerates, financial institutions, and government agencies. Understanding how these mammoth facilities differ from traditional colocation data centers is critical for grasping the current and future dynamics of the industry. This episode serves as your guide into this essential distinction.The Dual Strategy: Leasing vs. Building A significant portion of the discussion centers on the strategic decision-making involved in the leasing versus building of data centers. Historically known for constructing their own massive sites, hyperscale companies are increasingly shifting towards leasing—a trend shift that's gained momentum since 2017. With leasing becoming the prevalent approach by 2022, this decision dynamic is driven by the complexities of demand forecasting and capacity planning. Our hosts delve into the anticipated equilibrium that companies might strike in the coming years between these two strategies, providing listeners with keen predictions and insights.Geographical Shifts and Market Expansion As the hyperscale beast grows, so does its geographical appetite. Mike and David probe into the emerging data center markets across the United States, beyond the traditional hubs like Northern Virginia. The expansion into areas with more favorable power availability marks a strategic pivot that reflects the industry's robust growth and expansion ambitions. This segment shines a light on the careful planning and strategic thinking that fuel these market shifts, opening new avenues for future development.Challenges and Opportunities in the Hyperscale Space Navigating new terrains comes with its own set of hurdles, and the podcast doesn't shy away from these realities. The complexities of labor markets, logistical challenges, and the uncertainties of venturing beyond established hubs are dissected with precision. Yet, within these challenges lie amazing opportunities for investors and service providers to align with hyperscale expansion needs. This discussion equips listeners with the knowledge to foresee and embrace these opportunities within the rapidly evolving landscape.In conclusion, the hyperscale transformation is a powerful testament to the data center industry's rapid expansion and adaptation.

  • Santiago Data Center Market Overview - Latin America Regional Podcast: Ep 3
    Get more market insights here:https://shorturl.at/QWTRt-----Navigating the Latin American Data Center: A Closer Look at Santiago, ChileWelcome back to another episode of our Latin American Podcasts where we explore the intricacies of data center real estate and investments. Steve Sasse and Daniel Correia discuss Santiago, Chile—a major player in Latin America's data center market. Santiago’s Growing Data Center MarketSantiago is Latin America's second-largest data center hub, with a staggering 300MW of conditioned power across colocation and self-built facilities. The city has an additional 50MW under construction and 200MW in the pipeline, solidifying its role as a regional leader. Chile’s robust communications infrastructure, stable regulatory environment, and abundant renewable energy sources make it an attractive destination for major industry players like Google, Amazon, and Microsoft. These companies are expanding rapidly in the region, drawn by strong fiber connectivity and favorable business policies. Opportunities and Challenges for InvestorsWhile Santiago offers numerous advantages, potential investors should be prepared for challenges, particularly with permit acquisition, which can take up to two years. Land and energy costs in Santiago are higher compared to Sao Paulo but remain competitive within the region. On the upside, Chile’s transition from coal to renewable energy sources like hydropower, wind, and solar is a significant factor for sustainability-focused investors. Additionally, the announcement of a new submarine cable system linking Santiago with Australia is set to enhance latency between Latin America and the Asia Pacific, further boosting the city’s appeal. Future Outlook for SantiagoEfforts to improve inter-regional connectivity, such as fiber connections linking Santiago to Buenos Aires and Sao Paulo, will further strengthen its position as a digital hub. Despite geographical challenges posed by the Andes and Amazon jungle, Santiago continues to thrive as a critical player in Latin America’s digital economy. We predict sustained growth over the next 3 to 5 years, driven by hyperscale interest and the regional expansion of cloud and AI services. Stay tuned for our next episode, where we’ll take a closer look at Mexico’s data center market!

With the aim of enhancing decision-making around data centers, we discussed upcoming opportunities in North America and the changing dynamics of deal structures in the data center market.Decoding Deal Structures In the evolving North American data market, deal structures play a critical role in shaping agreements between parties. These structures outline terms such as lease durations, pricing models, and flexibility, which are especially important in colocation leases. Understanding the nuances of deal structures helps businesses navigate negotiations more effectively and align agreements with their operational needs.Unraveling the Traditional to the EmergingIn the conventional data center lease market, the most prevalent deal structure has been the modified gross type. This essentially includes an agreed asking rate between the provider and the tenant plus a monthly energy cost. However, as Montana pointed out, there seems to be a shift taking place within the market. The emergence of new deal structures is a notable area of exploration.Navigating the Shift in Deal StructuresDiving deeper into understanding this shift in deal structures, it becomes clear that the market is heading for more sophisticated models. We are starting to see more shell deals and yields on cost being signed, pointing towards an emerging trend.Opportunities on the HorizonAs these new trends take shape in the market, it makes one ponder about the potential opportunities this shift could bring. As evident from our discussion, there appears to be a rising number of opportunities presenting themselves as the data center market continues to evolve.In conclusion, we at datacenterHawk are committed to providing you with the most insightful trends and knowledge in the data center real estate market.
