Switch IPO: What Investors Need to Know

Although the humble data center is not an exciting aspect of information technology, it's essential to its functionality. After all, it's where organizations store the servers and related equipment that power their networks, websites, and apps.

As a result, publicly traded data-center operators such as Digital Realty Trust (NYSE: DLR), CoreSite Realty (NYSE: COR), and Equinix (NASDAQ: EQIX) have been very popular among investors lately. Could Nevada-based Switch be the next star in this firmament when it hits the market following its IPO later this week?

Switch operates three large data centers, which it calls "Primes." Two of these are located in its home state, and one in Michigan.
