True data centre consulting
Our data centre advisory practice experts come from extensive technology backgrounds, combined with a true data centre consulting approach, allowing us to provide our clients with extensive solution options beyond simple real estate transactions, including market assessments, data centre deployment strategies and financial analysis. Our knowledge of how occupancy costs, site location, fibre optics, and technology trends impact individual businesses – along with our understanding of provider offerings in the market – allows us to provide a unique service approach.
The Avison Young team is able to handle requirements ranging from large free-standing data centres to "non-real estate" solutions such as managed hosting, cloud services, interconnect arrangements and simple rack deployments. We also are involved in emerging technology solutions such as containerized and modular data centres.
Our unique backgrounds and experience allow us to bridge the gap between "traditional" real estate decision making and the highly-evolved complexities of IT real estate. We align data centre strategies with each client's goals and objectives.
We bring years of experience to every client and view each assignment as more than a transaction. Our global network and principal-led culture, along with leading market knowledge, helps ensure the best possible results for our clients.
