The most exciting when it comes to Canadian Data Centre Operations and Management

While the trends seems global, one can easily observe that, Canadian data centre providers' ability to help Canadian companies migrate from corporate-run, on-premise facilities to 3rd party centres and hybrid environments, is maturing.  

IDC research shows that companies have little appetite for investing in their own new and existing data centre facilities, as there are currently less corporate-run data centres than there were in 2014.

In fact, technology leaders have decided that instead of continuing to throw good money at their own facilities, they are beginning to shift workloads to commercial hosting vendors that offer colocation, managed hosting, and cloud services. 

‘’Right now the majority of businesses are not shifting wholesale to cloud, but migrating towards a combination of data centre and cloud technologies, which opens up a large but competitive marketplace to data centre operations and cloud vendors in Canada," said Mark Schrutt, vice president, Services and Enterprise Applications at IDC.
