Data centres are now classified as critical national infrastructure

We are pleased to announce the launch of Marsh’s Data Centre Insurance and Risk Management Services, a team of specialists from across the company. This team is dedicated to providing comprehensive risk management and insurance for clients throughout the entire lifecycle of data centre operations. From initial project development and financing to construction and ongoing operational activities.

Data centres have become sought-after assets for many investors, builders and operators. We expect the following trends to continue to influence the data centre market as future demands and technology shape it.

Data Centre industry mega trends

Market continues to grow

The exponential growth in data generation is fuelling the increasing demand for data centre space.

Artificial Intelligence

Investment-driven AI initiatives are propelling the need for scalable infrastructure. This includes data centre, to support their growth and development.

Sustainability

The task of upholding publicly declared net-zero goals will become increasingly challenging and more expensive to maintain.

Construction and supply chain delays

Project timelines are being extended. This is due to power distribution constraints and supply chain delays in obtaining key components for data centres.

Hyperscale data centre

Hyperscale customers are characterised by their appetite. They often take entire data halls or buildings in a single deployment.

Edge computing and localisation

Propelled by advancements in AI localisation, shifts in globalisation strategies, and the growing need for personalised content, edge computing has become essential.

Expected rise in regulation

Regulations pertaining to data centre localisation are becoming increasingly prevalent. Companies are required to establish data centre within specific geographic boundaries.

Power

The pressing demand for increased power capacity will drive data centre operators and governments to actively seek out reliable and sustainable energy sources to meet their goals. 

Marsh is a global player in the insurance and risk management industry worldwide. We are committed to supporting organisations in the digital infrastructure and data centre sector.

Marsh offers comprehensive risk management and insurance support through all stages of the data centre and digital infrastructure lifecycles. This is particularly valuable given:

  • and the interdependencies among different segments of the lifecycle.

FAQs

Just like many other companies, data centres are vulnerable to cyber risks and cyber attacks. It's particularly important for data centres to have appropriate cyber insurance coverage because they can handle sensitive customer data. Cyber attacks and data breaches can have a significant impact on any company, so having the right cyber insurance in place is vital. Find out more about Marsh's cyber risk services here.
