The emergence of public, private and hybrid data clouds in proximity to leading colocation, managed services, and hyperscale players in Ireland has led industry observers to dub the nation as the “Home of the Hybrid Cloud.” The products and services that are hosted, stored, and exported from Ireland’s data centres are very much part of the country’s €71 Billion ICT services export industry.
