This year’s State of the Industry Report is designed to give an insight into the decisions and considerations that UK IT directors and senior decision makers in the data centre industry are making, which in turn are influencing the market.
The Keysource 2020 State of the Industry Report, unsurprisingly, is dominated by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the technology changes and challenges that it has brought to business and its effect on people’s ability to work, their priorities and decision-making processes.
The data centre sector is continuing to experience a significant period of growth which is being driven by advances in technology and the need to support increasing user demand, as well as an exponential explosion in data.
