May/June 2019 I 29 BICSI IS SEEKING A TRAINING DELIVERY SPECIALIST THE THREE YEAR OUTLOOK There will be plenty of growth for the data center market in the next three years, regardless of greenfield builds, technology updates, or refurbishment of existing sites. The demand for data will continue to drive this growth with the need to gather, process and access data even faster, altering where and how large a specific data center needs to be. Some researchers conjecture that the next wave of data centers may be placed in more non-traditional spaces, such as retail buildings, office space, and physical product distribution and shipping centers. With ANSI/BICSI 002-2019, regardless of location, purpose or use, the information therein ensures that the data centers being designed tomorrow will operate well into the future.
