According to industry studies, infrastructure companies – those providing data centers and fiber networks – are once again in vogue. This is unsurprising. The explosive growth of broadband Internet, cloud computing, smart mobile devices, and video has brought new demand for the infrastructure supporting both broadband traffic and its storage. The providers of data centers and fiber networks are becoming major players in this new broadband marketplace – one that includes infrastructure providers, customers, and “middlemen” (e.g., a data center lessee that subleases the rights to use the space to third parties.)

This is the first of a two part series on infrastructure contract negotiation. In this one-hour Tele-Briefing, our distinguished panel of experienced experts will discuss the key elements of data center negotiation – from both the landlord’s and the occupant’s perspectives – with emphasis on practical, nuts and bolts deal points. This is becoming all the more important as recent press reports underscore the perils of cloud computing (security breaches, lost data). One solution: get your own data center space.
