Implications of Ireland’s Rapidly Growing Digital Economy for the Data Centre Sector
As Chief Digital Advisor to the Irish government, Stephen Brennan explores the implications of Ireland’s rapidly growing digital economy for the data centre sector. Will a data-driven economy directly translate into greater demand for collocated, cloud or enterprise data centres? Which verticals are seeing the most significant disruption and digital transformations? And will the emergence of new technology hubs and improved rural connectivity make areas outside of Dublin increasingly attractive for data centre deployment?
