In a previous article on Data Centers Today<\/a>, we talked about the evolution of green data centers and how sustainability is becoming increasingly important in an industry that relies heavily on stable, reliable energy. In that article we also discussed some of the initial actions that data center owners and operators \u2013 including Vantage Data Centers<\/a> – are undertaking to adapt their campuses and facilities to become more sustainable, and some of the major steps they\u2019re taking to encourage the introduction of more sustainable and renewable energy alternatives into the energy grid.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

With so much focus on sustainability and environmental initiatives, it really shouldn\u2019t come as any surprise that Canada\u2019s second largest city is increasingly becoming a hotbed of data center development. And while it\u2019s certainly an important factor, it\u2019s not just renewable energy that\u2019s making Montreal an up-and-coming data center destination.

Let\u2019s look at some of the reasons why data center providers and operators are looking to America\u2019s neighbor to the north for data center development.<\/p>\r\n


Green, greener, greenest<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n


<\/strong>Green initiatives are important to today\u2019s data center providers and users. This makes Montreal a great data center destination. Why? There is an abundance of renewable and clean power available in Montreal that is offered inexpensively through local power utilities for data center providers. This means that the investment to go green and rely on renewable energy sources is relatively low in the Canadian markets.

For example, Montreal has access to energy from Hydro-Qu\u00e9bec<\/a>, a public utility established by the Government of Quebec, that not only gives data center providers in the province access to clean hydroelectric power, but does so at reasonable rates. And, for data center providers, the only power better than clean power is inexpensive, clean power.

But it\u2019s not just the low cost of energy that makes Montreal shine \u2013 it\u2019s the amount of energy that data center providers need. With a cool climate, the amount of energy spent cooling a data center in Montreal is far less than a warmer climate. For example, the average temperature in July in Montreal is about 6.5 degrees lower than in Virginia and a whopping 22 degrees below Phoenix. That cooler temperature means that outdoor air can be used much of the year to cool a data center for free.<\/p>\r\n



Super smart<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n


One of the linchpins of a strong data center market is a solid workforce. Data center operations require educated individuals with skill sets that span several different areas. They require individuals with electrical and mechanical engineering skills. They need individuals who have advanced backgrounds in math and finance. They need individuals who can operate, manage and maintain computer networks. And they need individuals who are business savvy and gifted leaders.

Montreal offers that in spades.

The Intelligent Community Forum (ICF), \u201c\u2026a global network of cities and regions with a think tank at its center [with a mission] to help communities use information and communications technology (ICT) to create inclusive prosperity, tackle social and governance challenges and enrich their quality of life,\u201d ranks major metropolitan areas by \u201dKnowledge Workforce\u201d each year. This ranking indicates which regions feature, \u201ca labor force that creates economic value through its knowledge, skills and ability to use information effectively.\u201d

The most recent ranking put Montreal second<\/a> among the ICF\u2019s global data set, with only its fellow Canadian city, Toronto, above it. The reason for this ranking? The city\u2019s impressive higher education institutions, which graduate more students each year than any other Canadian city. Also, the city\u2019s incredible transition from industrial city to high tech hub.<\/p>\r\n



Reducing data border crossings<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n


When data crosses a border from one nation into another, it can create some data privacy grey areas. The data of Canadian citizens isn\u2019t protected by stringent Canadian data privacy laws when it crosses the border into America. This has led many Canadian companies to look for data center providers that operate data centers within their own nation\u2019s borders.

Also, recent regulations limit the amount and types of data that can cross borders between nations, and the types of personal data that foreign companies can take out of a country. These regulations make it essential for companies that do business in Canada to store customer data and other records within the nation.

With an increased need for data centers in Canada to keep data within the nation\u2019s borders, the largest cities in the country \u2013 Montreal and Toronto \u2013 were destined to see an increase in data center development.<\/p>\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

A\u00a0<\/strong>connected city<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n

Montreal is home to an abundant amount of fiber and QIX, one of Canada\u2019s 11 Internet Exchange Points (IXP), giving the city all the connectivity needed to reduce latency and keep businesses connected. Data center users benefit from the many telecom providers who have a presence in and around Montreal, in addition to convenient access to the United States and Europe via the subsea Atlantic fiber optics network.<\/p>\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Supply and demand<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n


<\/strong>Finally, there wouldn\u2019t be data center development in a location if there wasn\u2019t demand for it. And Montreal certainly needs the data center space.

As the ICF ranking claims, \u201cThe region was hit by the decline of heavy industry in the eighties, and launched a large-scale transition of its economy to ICT, aerospace, life sciences, health technologies and clean tech.\u201d This transition has made Montreal a center for a number of high tech industries that rely on data center space \u2013 including hyperscale companies, artificial intelligence innovators and the video game industry.

According to a Cushman & Wakefield Canada Data Center Report, Montreal is home to \u201cone of the largest clusters of video game developers in North America.\u201d And the city\u2019s emerging AI industry, \u201crepresents ideal long-term growth potential for the city\u2019s data center industry.\u201d

But not all that demand comes from Montreal, exclusively. The relatively centralized location of the city makes it a low-latency location to provide services to a number of key locations across the northeast, including Ottawa, Toronto, Boston and even New York City.

With so many high tech companies and industries in the immediate area in need of data center space, it\u2019s not surprising that Montreal\u2019s 23 data centers (with more on the way) have incredible absorption rates \u2013 with demand well outpacing vacancy and vacancy rates as low as 19 percent, as per Cushman & Wakefield\u2019s Canada Data Center Report.
