Voice of the Enterprise: Datacenters examines the key dynamics driving the enterprise datacenter market, including company-owned and leased facilities, as well as colocation. Our Energy Supply 2025 survey looks at challenges associated with datacenter expansion plans, with a specific focus on issues related to sourcing power for new datacenter space and approaches to resolving those issues.
A combination of two online Voice of the Enterprise surveys was conducted from Nov. 7 through Dec. 26, 2024. The first survey with approximately 705 IT and line-of-business decision-makers focused on a variety of topics around enterprise technology including datacenters, and a follow up study was then conducted with ~255 respondents whose organizations own datacenter facilities.
Also included are responses from a second Voice of the Service Provider survey of 500 respondents, conducted from Nov. 29, 2024, through Feb. 4, 2025, among a panel of IT decision-makers at service provider organizations in a variety of geographies. These results are presented in a separate section due to organizational and geographic differences in samples.
