Players in the New York City data center market face a very different marketplace today than they did one year ago. The difference is in the availability of large chunks of space, which one year ago was close to zero.
Today at least three companies are busy at work, fitting out buildings in NYC and offering sizeable amounts of space. Demand for new data center capacity is high as always, and DataGryd, Sabey and SoHo Colo are r...
Come this fall, while the building may look much the same on the outside, on the inside it will be pulsing with thousands of terabytes of data.
