📅 Aug 27, 2026 - Global Colocation Capacity Seen Tripling to 213GW by 2031 - Structure Research estimates global colocation capacity will more than triple from 63.8GW in 2026 to 213.1GW by 2031, while sector revenue rises from $151.9 billion to $458.7 billion. Its new market ranking also shows a less orderly industry underneath that expansion, as AI demand, hyperscale self-build, power shortages and connectivity increasingly separate scale from maturity across markets.

The projections, contained in Structure Research's 2026 Global Data Centre Colocation & Interconnection Report, suggest an industry adding roughly 149GW of operational critical IT capacity within five years. That is an enormous amount of infrastructure. It also risks obscuring how unevenly the [...]

📅 Aug 26, 2026 - Equinix Expands Security Portfolio With Netskope Zero Trust - Equinix has added Netskope Private Access to its Network Edge marketplace, letting enterprises deploy the zero trust access service as a virtual network function close to existing interconnection points. The integration targets companies trying to reduce VPN appliances and traffic detours, although it also gives network teams another software dependency to operate across complicated hybrid infrastructure estates.

The service was made generally available with Equinix Network Edge release 2026.7 on July 15, although Equinix highlighted the availability again in an August 19 community update. Netskope Private Access can now be deployed alongside other virtual routers, firewalls and network [...]

The deal deepens Equinix's local renewable supply as Singapore's data center market confronts tight land, grid capacity, and rising electricity demand from AI infrastructure.

For Equinix, the agreement is less about one solar contract than the problem of expanding digital infrastructure in a city state where power has become a strategic constraint. The company expects its Singapore renewable energy portfolio to reach 215 MWp by 2028, with its agreements collectively generating about 250,000 MWh [...]

📅 Jul 25, 2026 - Dutch Data Center Heat Project Targets Grid Constraints - A Dutch municipality, greenhouse growers and a data center operator have agreed to develop a heat network using recovered server energy. The project aims to replace natural gas, reduce pressure on a constrained electricity grid and test whether digital infrastructure can serve regional industry. Similar schemes are attracting attention as power shortages complicate data center expansion worldwide.

The agreement brings together a municipal authority, an agricultural energy cooperative, data center developer Switch Datacenters and regional energy partners. A planned facility will capture heat generated by servers and supply it to nearby commercial greenhouses through a district network. [...]
