The scores are extremely tight and you can really get a feel for how fierce the market must be between the medium-sized players. <\/p>\n Q2 changes also resulted in six new entrants, with Cyxtera, Netrality Properties, itconic, ST Telemedia, Macquarie Telecom and YourDC joining the leaderboard rankings. <\/p>\n Based on data center market density (number of facilities) and connectivity (PoPs), the leaderboard scores are obtained from Cloudscenes independent global database and relate to the April to June 2017 period. <\/p>\n The spread of connectivity for Q2, 2017 was centralized to North America and EMEA. Of the total 17,000+ PoPs managed by the ranked data center operators, 43.10% of the PoPs were in North America, 39.63% in EMEA, 9.15% in Oceania and 8.11% in Asia. <\/p>\n Further analysis, graphs and complete data for Cloudscenes Q2, 2017 Leaderboard is available at http:\/\/www.cloudscene.com\/news<\/a> <\/p>\n This quarter, Cloudscene has also released a Fast 50 list of global organizations making an impact on the data center sector.
