Uptime Institute Expands Data Center Leadership to Turkey

Uptime Institute, the globally recognized data center authority today announced that due to significant regional demand and data center growth, it is expanding its highly successful Symposium series to include Istanbul, Turkey.  Symposium 2017: Turkey will take place on November 29th at the Istanbul Marriott Hotel Sisli. This highly-focused service provider and end-user event is designed to bring executives and industry leaders together to share ideas on key issues currently facing data center owners and operators in the region. In the Turkish market, new data center capacity is being added and certified by Uptime Institute at a rate that continues to outpace markets in Western, Eastern and Central Europe. This trend is largely driven by the Turkish government's vision for increasing the ICT sector's GDP contribution from 2.9 percent to 8 percent by 2026. As a whole, the region is focused on building a world class digital ecosystem across government, financial services, telecommunications and service provider sectors in order to support domestic and international trade.
