Jan 2007 - Pioneer Technology sees increased demand and interest in the UK
With the continuing lack of available raised floor data space and demand now far outstripping supply, Pioneer Technology has seen a renewed interest in sites that have available power and have the immediate capability to be developed. Looking currently at sites that have this capability within the M25, there are only three, with several more under consideration by developers but not providing immediacy.
This has created a ‘sellers market’ with developers seeing a considerable interest from occupiers to secure access to solutions to create readily available development opportunities of data centre space.
“It is apparent that many large organisations and major blue chip companies have realised that their Data Centre strategies need attention now. We have seen demand coming from both outsources, corporate and financial institutions, but it is apparent , with demand as high as it currently is, that all these requirements will not be fulfilled.
Pioneer is an obvious answer to help resolve the more forward thinking organisations that have woken up to the issues that are potential show stopping business problems if they are not resolved. The Data Centre is becoming a board room risk agenda item as CIO’s inform their CEO, CFO and directors of the criticality of the situation.”
Nigel Clarkson, MD Pioneer Technology
Our strategic plans for growth in the UK and Australia remain on track and with a buoyant market continuing to sustain the momentum of the end of 2006 Pioneer is certain it will delivery more Data Centre space through it association with Spire Technology this year to add to its growing list of completed projects.
