LONDON, October 12, 2010 - The International Data Centre Group (IDC-G), the first global data centre
alliance, has announced a joint partnership with BroadGroup, the
international consulting firm.
The joint collaboration between IDC-G and BroadGroup has significant
promotional value for both companies. BroadGroup's schedule of industry
leading events includes the 4th Finance and Investment Forum in London
(December 2010), Data Centres Malaysia (January 2011), Data Centres Central
Europe, Budapest and Enterprise India 2011. IDC-G will now represent its
alliance members across all BroadGroup conferences, which primarily focus on
the rapidly growing emerging markets in Asia and Central and Eastern Europe.
"The collaboration is an affirmation of the synergies in the philosophy
of IDC-G and BroadGroup, in seeking to encourage the exchange of ideas and
information amongst professionals in the data centre industry, through forums
and conferences," said Guy Willner, executive chairman of IDC-G. "The
upcoming events in Asia and Central Eastern Europe provide an excellent
networking platform for us to represent our extensive list of alliance
partners, in markets which we consider as key in the future growth of data
centres."
"As the internationalization of data centers continues to be driven by
consolidation and M&A, data center operators need more than ever to ensure
that their brands stand out and that they can benchmark themselves for best
practice, valuations, and business opportunities. BroadGroup supports data
centers in achieving these objectives, provides independent due diligence
and financial benchmarking and has an extensive repertoire of marketing
channels to increase brand recognition," commented Philip Low, managing
