Ireland Data Center Market Analysis

The Ireland Data Center Market size is expected to grow from USD 2.76 billion in 2023 to USD 4.06 billion by 2028, at a CAGR of 8% during the forecast period (2023-2028).

With the boosted ODM server revenue in the market, owing to increasing hyper-scale investments, the hyperscale services have dominated Ireland; thus, colocation has started gaining traction in the last few years. Moreover, implementing the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which implements the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), has driven data traffic in Ireland, fueling market growth. The increasing demand for hyperscale facilities encourages investment in Ireland's submarine cable deployment projects.

Cloud computing adoption by SMEs in the country has also experienced considerable growth with an increase in data volumes. The increased demand from healthcare, logistics, e-commerce, and manufacturing sectors has attracted several cloud and colocation service providers to expand their presence in the country.

Enterprises in the country are moving away from traditional networking technologies and adopting software-defined networking (SDN) and network function virtualization (NFV) tools to assist with migration to cloud environments. Enterprises in the country are also expected to adopt NFV and SDN technologies to improve network automation, integration, orchestration, and management.

Many companies are starting to use colocation services in the country, and it is possible to find many potential options around Ireland. Most centers are in Dublin, while others are in Cork and Galway. ERS Computer Solutions has provided IT support and services to a broad range of organizations (large and small) throughout Ireland and has evolved into one of the most experienced providers of business and IT solutions to the general business community. A focus on continual research into new products and solutions enables the company to adapt to the ever-changing technology market and stay ahead of developments.

Cloud computing is a great target for various applications, as it caters to the storage and computation needs of cloud users at a relatively low cost. Although cloud computing has grown rapidly over the years, the area still needs appropriate security measures to protect cloud users' data and applications. Ireland's lack of data security in cloud and server-based services is hampering the market's growth. Cloud-based services bring many unique security issues and challenges. In the cloud, data is stored with a third-party provider and accessed over the internet. This means visibility and control over that data are limited.

With the recent outbreak of COVID-19, the country has been significantly affected, which has disrupted data center service providers in the region. Moreover, with the travel ban enforced in the country, many organizations have adapted to work-from-home scenarios, which has increased the data traffic significantly and has put tremendous pressure on data centers to cope with the existing capacities to prevent downtime. After the pandemic, the market is growing rapidly with the increased adoption of cloud solutions in various organizations, smartphones, and internet penetration across the country.

Ireland Data Center Market Trends

This section covers the major market trends shaping the Ireland Data Center Market according to our research experts:

Tier 3 is the largest Tier Type

  • Tier 3 data centers are the most preferred in Ireland and registered at an IT load capacity of 164.61 MW in 2022. The capacity is expected to grow from 447.25 MW in 2023 to 1,080.85 MW in 2029, registering a CAGR of 15.84%. A Tier 3 data center has redundant and dual-powered servers, storage, network links, and other IT components. SMEs generally prefer using at least a Tier 3-rated system. SMEs are a vital component of the Irish economy, comprising 99.8% of active enterprises and 67.5% of all persons employed. End users such as BFSI and media and entertainment focus on hyperscale facility colocation. As of 2022, there were around 25 Tier 3 data centers in the country, and around 11 upcoming data centers are under construction with Tier 3 specifications.
  • Tier 4 data centers are the second most preferred data centers, mainly by large enterprises, as they provide 99.99% uptime. Cost constraint is the major drawback leading to the low adoption of Tier 4 facilities. However, with data traffic generation, the upcoming facilities will have Tier 4 certification since this tier enables the site infrastructure to sustain unplanned failures that would otherwise adversely affect the critical load. Tier 4 facilities are expected to hold a market share of 22.4% by 2029, up from 2% in 2023 and 66 MW by value in 2022.
  • Tier 1&2 data centers are the least preferred due to their expected uptime of 99.671% (28.8 hours of downtime annually). These data centers are commonly utilized by micro businesses that want a cost-effective solution for their data storage needs. However, due to lower functionality, even SMEs are focusing on adopting wholesale colocation services under Tier 3 facilities. Tier 1 &2 DCs are expected to showcase the least growth through the forecast period.

Market Definition

  • IT LOAD CAPACITY - The IT load capacity or installed capacity, refers to the amount of energy consumed by servers and network equipments placed in a rack installed. It is measured in megawatt (MW).
  • ABSORPTION RATE - It denotes the extend to which the data center capacity has been leased out. For instance, a 100 MW DC has leased out 75 MW, then absorption rate would be 75%. It is also referred as utilization rate and leased-out capacity.
  • RAISED FLOOR SPACE - It is an elevated space build over the floor. This gap between the original floor and the elevated floor is used to accommodate wiring, cooling, and other data center equipment. This arrangement assist in having proper wiring and cooling infrastructure. It is measured in square feet (ft^2).
  • DATA CENTER SIZE - Data Center Size is segmented based on the raised floor space allocated to the data center facilities. Mega DC - # of Racks must be more than 9000 or RFS (raised floor space) must be more than 225001 Sq. ft; Massive DC - # of Racks must be in between 9000 and 3001 or RFS must be in between 225000 Sq. ft and 75001 Sq. ft; Large DC - # of Racks must be in between 3000 and 801 or RFS must be in between 75000 Sq. ft and 20001 Sq. ft; Medium DC # of Racks must be in between 800 and 201 or RFS must be in between 20000 Sq. ft and 5001 Sq. ft; Small DC - # of Racks must be less than 200 or RFS must be less than 5000 Sq. ft.
  • TIER TYPE - According to Uptime Institute the data centers are classified into four tiers based on the proficiencies of redundant equipment of the data center infrastructure. In this segment the data center are segmented as Tier 1,Tier 2, Tier 3 and Tier 4.
  • COLOCATION TYPE - The segment is segregated into 3 categories namely Retail, Wholesale and Hyperscale Colocation service. The categorization is done based on the amount of IT load leased out to potential customers. Retail colocation service has leased capacity less than 250 kW; Wholesale colocation services has leased capacity between 251 kW and 4 MW and Hyperscale colocation services has leased capacity more than 4 MW.
  • END CONSUMERS - The Data Center Market operates on a B2B basis. BFSI, Government, Cloud Operators, Media and Entertainment, E-Commerce, Telecom and Manufacturing are the major end-consumers in the market studied. The scope only includes colocation service operators catering to the increasing digitalization of the end-user industries.
