Managing a so-called “exponential rise” in data is a headache that some businesses would rather be without. That is why many are increasingly turning to colocation data centers to outsource time and resources, so they can focus on the business that matters to them the most. In fact, the spend on outsourcing to colocation data centers is expected to double by next year. The increasing adoption of digital transformation and data-hungry applications are creating a real business need for maximising the white space in the multi-tenant areas of colocation data centers with fast, reliable, and customised set-ups.

Undoubtedly, the internet, its connections and data are growing exponentially: 127 new devices connect to the internet every second. With increased connections and technological advancements, it is no wonder data networks accounted for around 1% of global electricity use in 2019. Sustainability has become a key focus for many industries due to climate change, and the telecommunications industry is adapting to ensure it is playing its part in reducing its energy footprint. Most major telcos are putting sustainability at the top of their agenda, with many aiming to become carbon neutral by 2050 and designing specific 2030 targets for emissions, waste and the share of renewable energy.

In a colocation data center, space is extremely valuable and must be maximised for servers, network equipment and computing hardware. However, to meet the ever-growing data requirements, efficiency can still be improved and fiber capacity increased without reducing space for revenue-generating equipment. Utilising a broad range of high-density fiber optic connectivity solutions, data centers can maximise the full potential of their white space.

Rail passengers and operators are demanding a superior online experience while on the move, forcing the industry to respond. For both legacy stock and brand-new trains, it is vital that on-board networks are able to manage the rising demand for high bandwidth services, specifically Close-Circuit Television (CCTV), 4K media streaming and in-carriage Wi-Fi connectivity.

The demand for data center capacity continues to rise, driven by the burgeoning of smart devices and improved connectivity. Chief amongst this growth is the surging consumption of over-the-top (OTT) media services that is expected to further fuel demand for increased bandwidth within data centers. According to research from Fortune Business Insights, the global OTT services market is projected to grow from $44.54 billion in 2021 to $139.00 billion in 2028 at a CAGR of 17.7%. This means data center operators need to capitalise on their assets.

Within the United Kingdom, just over one in five (21%) disabled rail passengers reported that they find train travel difficult. Much of the region’s railway systems continue to rely on antiquated infrastructure, and with research from the Department of Transport stating that more than two-thirds of disabled passengers experience at least one issue throughout their rail journey, change was required to make trains more accessible for the people who rely on them. The Persons with Reduced Mobility – Technical Specifications for Interoperability (PRM TSI) framework was introduced to improve the accessibility on high-speed rail systems for persons with disabilities and persons with reduced mobility.
