David Guarino, a Green Street Advisors analyst covering data centers and lodging, participated in a video interview at Nareit’s REITworld: 2019 Annual Conference in Los Angeles.
Guarino provided an overview of how a data center actually functions. He also noted that the location of data centers is determined in large part by access to inexpensive power and that over time, data centers have clustered in key markets creating economies of scale. Northern Virginia, he noted, is a key example of that trend and is the largest and most important data center market in the world.
