ABOUT THIS REPORT
The North American Multi-Tenant Datacenter Supply: Top Markets 2011 report gives
readers an overview of the top 10 datacenter markets in North America, while providing
actionable metrics around geographies and specific providers.

In this report, ‘multi-tenant datacenters’ are considered multi-customer colocation and
wholesale facilities. Single-user enterprise datacenters and single-tenant datacenters are
specifically excluded from this analysis.

Tier1 Research has historically published a biannual review of supply/demand in the
top six markets in North America. Our intention is to now research and publish two
supply/demand reports annually looking at the multi-tenant datacenter markets in
North America: one that focuses on the top 10 markets and a second report that looks at
emerging major markets. We will also publish a third report annually that examines at
the supply/demand situation in the top multi-tenant datacenter markets in the EMEA and
Asia-Pacific regions of the world.

This report provides current supply, demand and utilization metrics, as well as market-
specific analysis similar to Tier1 Research’s previous supply report series. This report goes
further than our previous look at the top six North American markets, as we now size
each market by existing supply levels, include maps of datacenter locations and identify
all providers as well as identify the top three datacenter providers in each market.
