Jovita Januskeviciute (DC Byte) tells how for decades, Ireland has been trying to attract foreign direct investment into the country by offering a stable political climate and favourable tax schemes, which also influenced data center market development sooner than in the rest of Europe. To date, Dublin has emerged as one of the largest markets in Europe, with most of the market IT capacity coming from self-build hyperscale developments – just like Denmark. The presentation will explore the case study of the Irish data center market, compare the Danish and the Nordic data center markets' development, and the opportunities to be gleaned as well as the lessons to be learned from the Irish market.
