Research and Markets: Germany's Data Center Market on the International Stage

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/fw6bcq/germanys_data) has announced the addition of the "Germany's Data Center Market on the International Stage" report to their offering.

This Market Abstract focuses on the German data center market and includes context on the European market and other major hubs (London, Paris and Amsterdam) that are also located in Western Europe. Other DCDi Market Abstracts focus on Toronto, New York, San Francisco and other city/regional hubs, and on other globally important country markets.

The frction arising from overlapping regional and national interests is especially apparent in issues relating to data. Standards for the collection, use, storage and processing of information are governed by a European Union directive, the Data Protection Directive of 1995, and enforced via individual national laws that embed the principles of this directive. It is expected that in 2015, EU member states will finalize an updated standard, the EU General Data Protection Regulation, which will apply across the EU without the need for additional national legislation, and which is expected to strengthen individuals' rights, increase the responsibilities of controllers and establish the role of data protection authorities and their enforcement powers.

The legislation, which has been in the works since 2012, has faced a great deal of scrutiny; individual European nations have strong if varying positions on privacy, and current laws, notably Germany's Bundesdatenschutzgesetz, reputed to be among the most stringent in Europe - may be harmonious in some basic respects but differ in other areas.
