In an exponentially growing digital infrastructure sector, there is an unsatisfied demand for accurate data on industry trends that evolves as fast as the market does. That’s why DCD is proud to announce the development of DCD>Intelligence, an interactive market intelligence platform that is uniquely designed for the data center industry.

Launching in 2025, the digital platform will transform traditional data center market intelligence by providing unique, reliable, trusted data, with the broadest and deepest coverage.

For the first time, DCD’s own proprietary industry datasets — built from 25 years of engagement with millions of data center professionals worldwide — will be made available on the DCD>Intelligence platform. This includes behavioral intent data sourced from DCD’s readership, global event participants, L&D students, and its expansive network of industry vendors and operators.

The platform will combine these exclusive data sets with robust vendor data to form the most comprehensive data center market intelligence platform. DCD>Intelligence is an evolution of DCD’s media, events and professional training offerings and reinforces DCD’s commitment to helping industry stakeholder make informed decisions, faster.

A trusted team of market intelligence experts

DCD>Intelligence is helmed by three industry heavyweights, who have 70 years of combined experience in research and intelligence with a specialist view of the data center industry.

A granular view of market movements

The DCD>Intelligence platform will empower the industry with reliable data insights, predicative analytics, and industry forecasts to enable smart decision-making.

The platform integrates data from industry operators and solution providers with behavioral insights from DCD’s global audience — along with other proprietary sources — to deliver an unparalleled view of the data center landscape at a granular level.

Within the fully interactive platform, users will also gain access to bespoke research and forecasting from DCD’s in-house experts and analyst team, led by Dr. Moises Levy.

Dr. Moises Levy, Managing Director of Research and Market Intelligence, highlights that “There's no one-size-fits-all answer when it comes to data centers.” He emphasizes the growing necessity of a reliable, data-driven market intelligence platform to navigate the complexities of the data center industry effectively.

By combining market data, behavioral insights, and expert analysis, DCD>Intelligence aims to deliver a comprehensive view of the data center industry and its trajectory — giving users the clarity and confidence to stay ahead in the fast-evolving market.

In partnership with major industry players

The platform is in development with the help of founding partners, including industry operators and leading solutions providers, and will launch to the broader marketplace in 2025.

Dan Loosemore, DCD’s Group CEO explains, “We are building this platform out of a clear need from our audience, and consulting them every step of the way.

Since we began this project, we have asked some of our closest industry partners to provide their insights and feedback on the platform, as well as their anonymized data, and we’re encouraged by the overwhelming enthusiasm from our founding partners.

We are eager to offer founding partnership opportunities to the wider data center ecosystem so we can design a platform that meets the unique needs of all industry players.”
