Data consumption is increasing, with companies feverishly adopting the latest technologies such as Internet of Things, AI capabilities and edge computing, while also preparing for the upcoming deployment of 5G. The North American market maintains its position as a global leader, having absorbed more than 215 megawatts year-over-year through 2018\u2019s third quarter, according to a CBRE report.<\/p>\n<p>One of the largest North American markets poised for massive growth is Canada. JLL research found that as of 2018\u2019s second half, there were 65 megawatts under construction across three big Canadian markets\u2014Montr\u00e9al, the Greater Toronto area and Western Canada\u2014while another 194 megawatts were in the planning phase. Most of the existing and future product consists of cloud deployments.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, there are more than 450 megawatts deployed across the Canadian market. Montreal-based ROOT Data Center operates Canada\u2019s largest data center, MTL-R2, which can scale up to 65 megawatts. The company&#8217;s&nbsp;facilities operate almost entirely on renewable hydroelectric power. In an interview with <em>Commercial Property Executive,<\/em> AJ Byers, ROOT&#8217;s president &amp; CEO,&nbsp;dives into the specifics of the Canadian data center market and reveals his expectations going forward.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>What makes the Canadian market stand out?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Byers:<\/strong> Interestingly, the Canadian enterprise market has been behind in cloud adoption, a situation which makes the market poised for enormous growth. Many large cloud companies and hyperscalers have been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/vantage-data-centers-to-expand-into-canada\/\">bringing IT infrastructure to Canada<\/a> in the last two-three years, which means that Canadian enterprises and government now have true in-country options. Cloud providers are seeing explosive growth because of it, which is in turn resulting in large growth for wholesale data center providers in Canada.<\/p>\n<p>Growth has also been driven on the supply side, where cloud operators are seeing a very attractive financial situation in Canada for their operations. The exchange rate on the Canadian dollar is attractive in the discount it provides for out of country businesses. In Qu\u00e9bec, specifically where Montr\u00e9al is a very hot market, the cost of electricity is very low relative to all the other North American markets and is supplied by 100 percent renewable power sources.<\/p>\n<p>As major players like AWS, Azure and Google Cloud came into the Canadian market more fulsomely, organizations began the migration to the cloud\u2014which we see continuing at a huge rate.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How do you assess a market or location before building or acquiring a new data center?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Byers:&nbsp;<\/strong>At ROOT, we have a 125-point checklist which includes economic conditions, nearby risks, ability to expand, available power, available space, cool temperatures, low cost green power, workforce and ability to serve a business market.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2019\/02\/Interview-quote-CPE-AJ-Byers-major-players.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"1004298779\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/why-keep-tabs-on-the-canadian-data-center-market\/interview-quote-cpe-aj-byers-major-players\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2019\/02\/Interview-quote-CPE-AJ-Byers-major-players.png\" data-orig-size=\"827,221\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Interview quote CPE AJ Byers major players\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2019\/02\/Interview-quote-CPE-AJ-Byers-major-players.png?w=827\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1004298779\" src=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2019\/02\/Interview-quote-CPE-AJ-Byers-major-players.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"827\" height=\"221\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2019\/02\/Interview-quote-CPE-AJ-Byers-major-players.png 827w, https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2019\/02\/Interview-quote-CPE-AJ-Byers-major-players.png?resize=300,80 300w, https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2019\/02\/Interview-quote-CPE-AJ-Byers-major-players.png?resize=768,205 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 827px) 100vw, 827px\" \/><\/a>How does the data center industry respond to investors&#8217; growing interest in them strictly as real estate assets?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Byers:&nbsp;<\/strong>As traditional real estate investments are resulting in lower returns, real estate <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/data-center-trends-insights-from-a-veteran\/\">investors have been looking at other operating alternatives<\/a>.

ROOT innovated the use of AI for downtime risk reduction and we have seen other major players start to follow. We will also see software-defined networks that provide cloud-on-ramps and virtual cross-connects globally. On a more specific note for ROOT, we will continue to work with our vendors to drive lower power usage effectiveness (PUE) and efficiency across the entire platform as new technologies emerge to do so.<\/p>\n<p>We are seeing a continued <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/cloud-activity-drives-data-center-demand\/\">demand for multi-tier data center implementations<\/a> based on application. Tier 3 remains the standard for applications that require 100 percent uptime. However, many AI and IoT applications do not require this level of reliability and organizations running these applications appreciate the efficiency of not paying for Tier 3 space. This has driven a new type of demand for Tier 2, 1 and 0 data halls. These lower tier data halls can have much lower PUEs. For example, a tier 0 data hall can have a PUE as low as 1.05. This is evolving and will start to appear through 2019\/2020.<\/p>\n<p><em>Image courtesy of ROOT Data Center<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ROOT Data Center President &#038; CEO AJ Byers makes the case for a sometimes overlooked market and shares insights into company strategy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1284,"featured_media":1004517700,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21755,16,21742,21744],"tags":[40476,41357,32789,38688,32796,41354],"class_list":["post-1004293508","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-data-centers","category-international","category-latest","category-people","tag-cpetalks","tag-aj-byers","tag-cbre","tag-internet-of-things","tag-jll","tag-root-data-center"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.0 (Yoast SEO v28.0) -
