The Data Centre Caribbean 2020 report is composed of four key sections as shown below:
The first section of the reportÌý- looks at the Data Centre Landscape for each of the Caribbean Countries in the report - with details including the digital economy take up, the ease of doing business, power availability & costs and international & domestic fibre connectivity.
The second section of the reportÌý- considers the key Data Centre and Cloud Service Provider (CSP) deployments - for each of the 12 key Caribbean countries where there is an active Data Centre or Cloud market included in the report.
The third section of the reportÌý- provides a brief overall profile of each of the key Data Centre Providers – which have a presence in the 12 key Caribbean country markets.
The fourth section of the Data Centre Caribbean 2020 reportÌý- provides a forecast for the Caribbean Data Centres - based on Data Centre raised floor space (shown in m2) and Data Centre Customer Power (or DCCP – shown in MW) with the key conclusions & trends of the report.
It provides profiles of the key Data Centre and Cloud Service Providers in the region, as well as a 5-year forecast for third party Data Centre, raised floor space, and Data Centre Customer Power from the end of 2020.
The Caribbean region has been overshadowed by Data Centres in the neighbouring USA, particularly in Florida, which has served as a gateway for cloud services and content used in the Caribbean and in parts of South America. Miami Data Centres, such as Equinix, are typically wholesale providers of content and connectivity capable of connecting across Latin America and the Caribbean. Content and cloud services that are used in the Caribbean are typically hosted off-shore in the North American region and are not hosted in the Caribbean.

Although global Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) such as Microsoft are using local partners to distribute their products in the Caribbean region they are also hosting their cloud or applications in neighbouring regions - typically in North America.

There are though a number of Data Centre facilities offering services locally in the Caribbean region - but the majority are colocation-style facilities only and provide limited standards of resilience – with only a handful of certified US Uptime Institute Data Centre facilities (available from fourteen (14 facilities) (and seven Data Centre Providers) in the Caribbean region.
