(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- UK based telecom research firm Tariff Consultancy (www.telecomspricing.com) issued a report this week suggesting that revenue for the European data center market will double between 2010 and 2015, with net raised floor space to increase by 70 percent during time, as a result of price increases.
The report, issued Tuesday, is called “Data Centre Pricing 2010 to 2015.” It provides forecasts for 19 of the EU25 countries, and analysis of a standard 19-inch rack, a small cage space and a 50 KVA suite of space in each country. It also looks at current industrial electricity pricing in each market – an important component of data center costs.
According to the report, the largest data center markets in Europe are the UK, Germany, France and Sapin, both for raised floor space and revenues. The most expensive data center markets in the EU are Denmark, Switzerland and Ireland.
While Tariff expects capacity in all markets to increase by an average of 14 percent per year, it predicts that revenue will increase at a rate closer to 25 percent per year during the period from 2010 to 2015.
Raised floor capacity in Switzerland is expected to see the most growth, doubling from 2009 to 2011 as a result of substantial new building. The most expensive
In terms of specific revenue numbers, the firm expects revenue across the 19 countries to increase from 3.2 billion Euro per year in 2010 to 7.3 billion Euro in 2015, for a total growth of 125 percent.
"We believe that the future outlook for the data center operator remains sound," says Margrit Sessions, managing director of TCL, quoted in the announcement. "In general the demand for new space from the telecoms operator, the ISP, the content provider and systems integrator as well as the enterprise will allow data center pricing to increase over time. Raised floor space will increase with new build facilities and the expansion of existing ones. Also operators are increasing the efficiency of their current floor space to allow the deployment of more dense applications."
The report is available for purchase by contacting Tariff. Contact information is provided in the summary posted on the company’s website.

October 2009 - Web Hosting's All Star Team
This has been, for us, one of the most interesting, exciting and challenging build-ups to an issue of the magazine yet, Web Hosting's All Star Team. The balloting process was our first experiment with a kind of user participation we're planning to do a lot more with in the months to come. We had thousands of ballots submitted, with hundreds of write-in suggestions and a demonstration of user engagement that has us feeling super positive about the project.

July 2009 - What am I Worth?
One of the interesting luxuries of working on a project like the printed WHIR magazine is that it allows us to play with things like our point of view from one issue to the next. In recent months we've been giving added attention to the kind of practical and applicable advice aimed at smaller hosts and resellers. This issue carries on with that point of view, asking, in our cover story, "what am I worth?" It's a complicated question without a clear-cut answer.

May 2009 - The Blueprint for a Small Web Host
I was a little surprised by how difficult it became to see this idea through. We set out to assemble a blueprint for a small hosting business, but butted up pretty quickly against the general impossibility of covering all the territory that was out there to be covered. The basic constraints of a printed magazine, and the less-than-infinite amount of time we had available forced us to face the fact that we could never produce an exhaustive guide to starting a hosting company.
