Opportunity

As organisations digitise their information and digitalise their processes, they are becoming increasingly reliant on remote data centers to house critical applications and store their data.

This has led to record levels of data usage and growing demand for data center services accessible to organisations both large and small.

According to independent industry analysts Structure Research, the global data center colocation and interconnection market has an estimated value of $US53.9 billion and an annual growth rate of 11.4 per cent.

Prime Data Centers is a California-based wholesale data center developer and operator with several existing facilities and a pipeline of future projects throughout the Americas and Europe.

Prime Data Centers develops, acquires, and operates data centers for large enterprises and hyper-scalers looking for on-premises, hybrid, or cloud solutions. Through its owned properties, customer assets (sale-leaseback), or greenfield developments, Prime delivers build-to-suit, powered-shell, and turn-key solutions. The company targets offerings that provide customers unique ownership options or flexible wholesale leasing models resulting in a true corporate partnership. 

With this partnership and investment, Macquarie Capital can help Prime Data Centers accelerate the development of a promising project pipeline and drive long-term growth.”
