Dallas Data Center Market Analysis
The Dallas Data Center market is valued at 419.64MW in the current year and is expected to reach a CAGR of 12.7% during the forecast period to 941.92MW by the next five years. A data center is a specific area inside a structure or a collection of designs that house computer systems and related equipment, such as networking and storage systems.
- Hyperscalers and edge data centers are the parts of the industry that are expanding quickly. While edge enables diversification and reduces latency, hyperscalers meet the rising demand. Artificial intelligence (AI) development will boost demand by requiring more data and increasing computing efficiency.
- The development of cloud computing has benefited the DFW market as well. Cloud service providers like IBM Softlayer and Rackspace have partnered with larger colocation companies to house their infrastructure. For instance, cloud providers account for a sizable amount of the 86 MW at Digital Realty's 68-acre Richardson campus, which has a total area of 68 acres. Hyperscale cloud providers are also aggressively building their data centers and renting regional space. This trend is projected to continue as data center users adopt cloud computing, and cloud providers depend on larger colocation providers for infrastructure support.
- As businesses in Dallas experience significant data generation across industries like IT and telecom, BFSI, healthcare, and government and defense, big data and IoT technology will increase investments in the data center industry.
- In the southern part of Dallas County, the market saw a land rush for all asset categories, including data centers. Rising capital costs will throw off this trend, which may impede speculative growth in the area.
- Furthermore, with the outbreak of COVID-19, the country was significantly affected, which disrupted data center service providers in the region. Moreover, with the nationwide travel ban enforced in the country, many organizations adapted to work from home, which increased the data traffic significantly and put tremendous pressure on the data center, coping with the existing capacities to prevent downtime.
Dallas Data Center Market Trends
Cloud Computing in BFSI is anticipated to hold a significant share
- The data center model has changed thanks to cloud computing. Traditional data centers, which run on hardware and require a lot of room, are no longer practical. As a result of the commercialization of storage, computing, and network resources by cloud providers, hyperscale cloud-based data centers have emerged. These public cloud service providers directly own and manage these data centers.
- They can offer their services for much less money than on-premise data centers. Everything is controlled digitally in data centers that utilize the cloud. Cloud computing has completely transformed how data centers are managed nowadays. Although cloud computing has many benefits in data centers, the three most important are agility, efficiency, and scalability.
- Data centers are the foundational infrastructure for cloud-based digital technologies, supporting anything from video streaming and online gaming to enterprise applications for remote and in-office work, 5G networks, and Internet-of-Things networks. Switch Inc., a Dallas-based operator of data centers, was acquired by Boca Raton, Florida-based DigitalBridge Group Inc., and investment services provider IFM Investors for $11 billion in December 2022.
- A data center facility in Dallas with 18.8 acres of land and a 75,000-square-foot current data center that is 100% leased to a technology company was purchased by managed hosting provider VPLS in August 2022. At the facility, which can support up to 16 MWs of power and now supports 2.5 MWs, VPLS intends to build more data center space.
- Despite a general deal-making downturn, private equity companies purchased data centers in almost record numbers last year to meet the rising demand for cloud computing and data storage. In March of last year, KKR & Co., a New York-based private-equity and infrastructure investment firm Global Infrastructure Partners, closed a $15 billion acquisition of data center operator CyrusOne Inc.
Rising Adoption of Hyperscale Data Centers
- The rising adoption of hyperscale data centers is a significant driver of the data center market. Hyperscale data centers are large-scale facilities designed to support the massive amounts of data processing and storage required by modern businesses and organizations.
- For instance, in June 2022, the Aspen Mountain Hyperscale Data Center complex, the world's first sustainable hyperscale data center development, will be a carbon-negative, multi-business environment thanks to 100% heat reuse, according to Wyoming Hyperscale White Box. The 100% liquid-cooled, technology-neutral information technology equipment (ITE) will be used across the 120 MW master-planned campus, which will also run entirely on renewable energy and require no refrigerant or industrial water. The project's 30-MW initial phase is being built, and commissioning is scheduled to start in 2023.
- The adoption of hyperscale data centers is driven by the increasing demand for cloud-based services and applications and the growth of big data, artificial intelligence, and the Internet of Things (IoT). These technologies require vast amounts of data processing and storage, which large-scale data centers can only provide.
- AWS has filed publicly to erect a new facility outside of Dallas in DeSoto, Texas. Work on the 30,000 square-foot (2,790 square meters) data center is expected to start early in 2019 with a target completion date of 2024. The building is referred to as the Ezell Drive Campus, and reports claim that HSK is responsible for its design.
- These data centers are typically owned and operated by cloud service providers such as Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud, as well as large enterprise companies like Facebook and Apple. Hyperscale data centers are characterized by their massive scale, with some facilities spanning over a million square feet and containing tens of thousands of servers.
Dallas Data Center Industry Overview
The Dallas Data Center Market is fragmented in that key vendors are utilizing inorganic growth techniques, such as mergers and acquisitions and strategic partnerships, to increase their market share. Some of the players as Digital Realty Trust, Inc., DataBank, Equinix Inc., Evoque, and Tierpoint LLC
At 1505 Ferris Road, Digital Realty intends to construct a one-story, 16,800 square meters (181,200 square feet) core and shell data center. The project is known as "Project Gold Garland," according to the business. Up to $59.4 million is what Digital Realty is looking to put into the venture. Beginning in February 2023, construction is anticipated to last until August 2024. Up to $110 million will be invested in the facility by NTT.
In April 2023, Compass Datacenters increased its land holdings in south Dallas by more than twofold by purchasing 375 acres in Red Oak, Texas. Compass Datacenters has more than doubled its existing landholdings by acquiring 375 acres of undeveloped property in Dallas, Texas.
