It was never meant to be an explicit measure to determine valuation, I was more curious from a solely MW capacity how much you were paying per company, as I said I am aware there are hundreds of other factors that go into the valuation of a company.
Some factors that would affect the quality of data centre sites from one another would be:
- What uptime tier certifications does the data centre have? - What NABERS ratings does the data centre have? - Is the data centre carrier or vendor neutral? - Where is the data centre located, what is its proximity to central business districts or key clients for low latency & interconnectivity? - Does the current data centre site have further land capacity attached for upgrades - this is much easier than acquiring a new site completely especially where land is in limited supply near CBD's.
Initially I was trying to compare a lot of these factors between providers, however CDC & Airtrunk being private businesses only disclose so much information publicly - likely for security purposes given government contracts.
NextDC & Maquarie DC list some of these specifications on their websites for their data centres so you have a little more visibility.
