Human error and insider threats Many outages come down to mistakes or misuse. Mismanaged credentials and small errors can lead to major breaches. In multi-tenant setups, clear access ownership and accountability are essential. Strong identity controls, monitoring, and audits reduce the risk for everyone involved. Sustainability and energy efficiency Energy use is under the microscope. Europe requires green power. The US and Latin America are offering incentives. Operators are expected to use efficient cooling, renewables, and monitoring tools to meet environmental goals. Tenants now consider sustainability a key factor when choosing providers. Rapid technological changes and upgrades The pace of change is accelerating. Operators are upgrading infrastructure and automating fast. Tenants need tools that can keep up, scale across hybrid environments, and work inside shared facilities. Without that flexibility, systems slow down and risks pile up. Your challenges Balancing capacity with demand AI, cloud, and digital growth are pushing data centers to scale quickly. But limited power, rising infrastructure costs, and space constraints make it hard to keep up. Whether you're building global infrastructure or growing inside a colocation site, capacity choices directly affect performance and reliability. Regulatory compliance: keeping up with evolving standards Operators and tenants face growing pressure to meet evolving standards. North America enforces NIST and SOC 2. Europe pushes GDPR and NIS2. Latin America and APAC are introducing their own rules. Failing to comply can lead to fines or downtime. Tenants also need to secure racks, manage identities, and stay audit-ready, even when the building is managed by someone else. Physical security concerns: managing threats Data centers deal with real-world threats like intrusion, theft, and natural disasters. Operators must protect the perimeter, infrastructure, and support systems. Tenants are responsible for cages, racks, and who gets access. Without unified systems, it's easy to miss what matters most when a threat appears.
