| o | As enterprise customers move some of their workloads back out of the cloud – driven by the need for network and computing efficiencies – highly interconnected data center facilities have become strategic and critical infrastructure assets that command premium pricing from customers and premium multiples |
| o | Cyxtera’s global presence with facilities in 29 markets, including the 10 top colocation markets in the world, help to differentiate among peers |
