The data centre is increasingly being viewed as a critical business priority. Even in the poor economy, data centres are receiving ongoing investments so they can be improved in performance and reliability, finds a new survey commissioned by CommScope found.

The “Global Data Centre Survey,” found that 32% of all organizations surveyed worldwide are planning or building new data centres, while 83% of existing data centres continue to receive investment for infrastructure and technology projects.
