For example , the hyperscale market is forecast to grow by at least 25 % annually over the next five years with many new investors trying to penetrate the space . We have the experience and skill to support the virtual layer with data security and software , while also focusing on the infrastructure layer needed to drive that digital growth . We ’ re going to see more division and subsets develop within the asset class . Whatever shape that takes , we ’ re well placed to navigate the marketplace .”
