No More Space

Posted on January 17, 2006 by Max

If you haven’t been paying attention an interesting thing has been happening with the datacenters in Los Angeles and other cities. They are running out of space. That’s right Los Angeles is nearing capacity for available datacenter space, the few players left with floor tiles open have realized this and raising their prices like there’s no tomorrow. What’s really scary about this is unlike 1999/2000 during the peak of the Internet bubble no one is building new facilities out. We are going to be looking at a major shortage soon.

    Sure Equinix is opening a new facility, and with their pricing will make good money with it. Who are the major Telcos / Colo Providers? AT&T, SBC, Quest, XO, Level3, Savvis, Equinix, Switch and Data, and One Wilshire. Yes there are a bunch of non-carrier and non-national options available but still – how much space do these facilities have left? Not a ton.
