DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/39b6ad/data_centre_africa) has announced the addition of the "Data Centre Africa - 2012" report to their offering.
The Tariff Consultancy Ltd (TCL) Data Centre Africa - 2012 report was produced during the period from January 2012 to February 2012. It is an updated version of the Africa and Middle East Data Centre report published in early 2011. The revised report uses both primary sources and secondary sources as a basis for the research.
To derive the space forecast in the report TCL has performed a bottom up survey of all the identifiable Data Centres in each of the 9 African countries in our report, with overall raised floor space and utilisation levels as of the end of 2012, which is then used as the basis of a 5 year forecast from the end of 2012 to the end of 2017.
A new report published by TCL called Data Centre Africa - 2012 finds that Data Centres across the continent are set to see revenues increase by 84 per cent over the 5 year period to the end of 2017 - representing a year on year increase of 17 per cent.
The Data Centre Africa - 2012 report evaluates the Data Centres in the 9 main countries of Algeria, Egypt, Ghana, Kenya, Morocco, Nigeria, South Africa, Tunisia and Uganda and provides a forecast for Data Centre raised floor space and revenues over the 5 year period to the end of 2017.
The report also provides information on average rack space pricing per country. The report is based on a survey of 60 Data Centre providers with some 102 facilities in the 9 countries in the survey.
The main trends identified in the TCL Data Centre Africa report include the following:
Data Centre raised floor space across Africa is forecast to grow by 37 per cent over the 5 year period to the end of 2017 - a year on year increase of 7 per cent - from 84,000 square metres (2012) to 115,000 square metres (2017). Data Centre revenue across Africa is forecast to grow by 84 per cent over the 5 year period to the end of 2017 - a year on year increase of 17 per cent - from $203 million USD (2012) to $373 million USD (2017) per annum. But in Africa there is a wide range of rack space pricing, with the highest rack space pricing found in South Africa with average pricing of $974 USD per month.
