Data centers become a hot target for expanding telecom firms

Even data centers serving smaller markets saw significant gains in Q2. Minnesota-based firm Datalink saw an 8 percent gain in 2014 due to increasing sales and customer demand for cutting-edge data services according to CRN. Datalink's president and CEO Paul Lidsky attributes the growing interest in data storage to clients "spending extra time evaluating newer technologies like private and hybrid cloud and flash and hybrid converged storage."

Cloud storage is more likely to become the mainstream storage solution as the technology becomes more popular. Firms investing large storage capacity in the present are likely setting themselves up for an advantage. These companies will have greater flexibility to provide their customers with digital services and the opportunity to rent out their own data storage in the future. Telecoms will even be able to manage multiple data centers from one location with the use of remote console servers.
