• Average revenue/m2 in Europe is 3,500 USD/m2, around 1.4M USD/year for a 400 m2 data room. Around 20% of this is margin (280K USD/year).
• Margins are over 3X for Tier 4 data centres designed for higher availability, despite increasing costs of redundant power, distribution, computing etc.
• Technologies which deliver higher availability quickly pay back from higher margins
