Covers All Five Competitive Forces
The template breaks down all five Porter forces-industry rivalry, new entrants, supplier power, buyer power, and substitutes-with colocation-specific indicators like power costs, carrier neutrality, and scale economies to show where margins compress or expand.
Industry-Specific & Market-Relevant
Content is tailored to data center hosting: it maps carrier relationships, fuel and utility risk, compliance (SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI DSS), capital intensity, and demand drivers for disaster recovery and cloud offload-so recommendations match market realities.

The template uses clean, client-ready formatting with executive summaries, one-page force maps, and slide-ready charts so you can drop content into reports or decks without reformatting.
Investor & Business-Plan Ready
