It has been a historic year for investment and consolidation in the data center industry.
Data center-related M&A has crossed the $30B mark in 2020, according to data compiled by Synergy Research Group. Deal volume far surpassed the previous annual record set in 2017. With two weeks left to go in the year, 2020 has seen 113 data center deals at a total value of $30.9B.
“There is no doubt that this has been a bumper year for data center M&A activity, despite COVID-19 inevitably slowing down some transaction and due diligence activities,” said John Dinsdale, chief analyst at Synergy Research Group.
