The world’s increasing consumption of data, combined with the
trend of businesses and service providers outsourcing their data
center facilities rather than owning and managing them, has
resulted in significant growth in multi-tenant data centers
(MTDCs).

In fact, one analyst firm has predicted that total operational
square footage of global MTDCs can reach approximately 177 million
by the end of 2018.
To address this shift in the data center market, CommScope has
formed the Multi-Tenant Data Center (MTDC) Alliance as part of the
PartnerPRO™ Network. MTDC Alliance members will be able to offer
optimal network infrastructure solutions for customers who need to
deploy this technology in multi-tenant environments.
“Over the years, a shift has taken place in which companies
increasingly outsource IT needs to shared environments in which
data centers are viewed as an operating expense,” said Stephen
Kowal, senior vice president, Global Partners, CommScope. “By
leasing third-party data center white space, enterprises can remain
focused on their core businesses while enjoying optimal data center
availability, reliability and cost control.”
Demand will continue for MTDCs from hyperscale data center
operators, service providers, cloud providers and enterprises;
however, with the increased competition, it is becoming harder to
differentiate on build quality alone. That is why CommScope, a
leader in communications network infrastructure solutions, formed
the MTDC Alliance, assuring customers who work with our certified
partners in the PartnerPRO Network that quality enterprise
solutions, like our industry leading SYSTIMAX®, NETCONNECT®, and
Uniprise® solutions, are being deployed in MTDCs.
“With our global network of 179 data centers across 44 markets,
Equinix is thrilled to be part of the CommScope MTDC Alliance to
offer enterprise customers the optimal data center deployments that
best fits their needs,” said Greg Adgate, vice president of global
technology partners and alliances at Equinix. “Our facilities offer
the broadest geographic reach, the largest choice in cloud and
network providers, and the most efficient interconnection options
for companies looking to lease data center space. We look forward
to working with CommScope and their customers as part of this
initiative.”
MTDC infrastructure makes advanced technologies such as cloud
computing and virtualized data centers available to companies of
all shapes and sizes; from small- and mid-sized business to large
enterprises, while also allowing flexible and easy expandability as
the business grows. By outsourcing data center services instead of
building, hosting, maintaining and upgrading them, MTDC tenants can
realize significant operating and capital expenditures saving.
Today, the PartnerPRO Network has active partners in 88
countries and serves as a resource with thousands of distributors,
installers, integrators and consultants worldwide.
