The global data center rack market is poised for significant growth in the short term, with promising prospects on the horizon. A recent report provides insights into how the market is expected to evolve over the next few years.
Data Center Rack Market Riding High on Expanding Data Center Deployments
Data centers have become a crucial component of the IT infrastructure for many businesses, serving as the backbone for data handling and storage. The key driver for the data center rack market is the substantial increase in the deployment of data centers worldwide. This growth is primarily attributed to the escalating demand for technology services and substantial investments from major corporations. Data center racks are integral for infrastructure management, housing servers, switches, cables, and other equipment within the data center environment.
The importance of rack infrastructure has surged in data centers due to technological advancements and the adoption of high-density servers. These data centers are required to efficiently accommodate servers, manage cables, and ensure optimal airflow for peak performance. The increasing demand for cloud services and the surge in data center traffic are expected to bolster global demand. Ciscos predictions indicate a massive shift, with IP traffic in cloud data centers projected to reach 19,509 exabytes annually by 2021, compared to just 1,046 exabytes in traditional data centers.
Digital Banking Boosting Data Center Rack Market
The banking, financial services, and insurance (BFSI) sector are witnessing a surge in digital banking, leading to the implementation of cutting-edge data center infrastructures. For instance, Indias Unified Payments Interface (UPI) recorded a staggering 2.73 billion transactions worth US$67.31 billion in April 2021. However, challenges such as rising maintenance costs and the availability of containerized data centers might limit market growth. Additionally, the demand for highly skilled personnel for product development, interoperability issues, and a lack of uniform standards are areas of concern.
Impact of COVID-19 on Data Center Rack Market
The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted business continuity worldwide, affecting enterprises across industries. Data centers have played a critical role in ensuring operational efficiency while accommodating new demands driven by remote work and increased digital activity. The pandemic led to a surge in demand for processing power, driven by the widespread adoption of remote work, telehealth, e-commerce, e-learning, and digital entertainment. As a testament to this, Deutsche Commercial Internet Exchange achieved a record data throughput of over 9.1 Tbps in Frankfurt in March 2020.
Big Data Analytics Driving Market Growth
The rapid expansion of big data analytics across various industries has led to the generation of vast amounts of digital data. Businesses globally are investing in new data centers to store and manage this complex and unstructured data, driving the growth of the data center rack market. Larger data centers are now required to store both structured and unstructured data, necessitating advancements in network infrastructure and storage technology.
Growing Investments in Construction Fueling Market Growth
The increasing utilization of cloud-based services and technologies, such as IoT, AI, and ML, has resulted in the production of massive amounts of data, leading to the need for hyperscale data centers. Governments worldwide are investing significantly in constructing hyperscale data center infrastructure to meet the rising demand for digital services. Additionally, the use of smartphones, social networking platforms, and over-the-top (OTT) services continues to generate substantial data, further driving the market.
Challenges from Blade Servers
While the data center rack market is on an upward trajectory, the increasing utilization of blade servers poses a potential challenge. Blade servers offer a compact and flexible solution for data centers, allowing for on-demand computing. These systems can accommodate a large number of servers in a limited space, making them a popular choice among data center managers.
BFSI Sector Dominating the Market
The banking and finance sector has become a cornerstone of the data center rack market, driven by increasing competition and the demand for online services. Data centers are essential for financial services, and the racks used in this industry must offer enhanced security against theft and damage. Modular rack solutions allow banking service providers to upgrade and expand their systems as needed.
45U and 48U Racks Gaining Traction
Rack sizes are evolving to accommodate the growing demand for data center infrastructure. 45U and 48U racks are expected to witness significant adoption due to their compatibility with most server brands. These taller racks provide improved ventilation and more space for cable management.
North America Leads the Way
North America currently dominates the global data center rack market, driven by a robust economic environment, substantial IT budgets, advanced technology adoption, and a high number of data centers. The region is expected to maintain its leadership position due to rapid advancements in technology, the proliferation of mobile broadband, and the growing importance of big data analytics.
Key Players
Prominent players in the data center rack market include HPE, Schneider Electric, Rittal, Cisco, IBM, Fujitsu, Dell, Eaton, Vertiv, Legrand S.A., AGC Network, Oracle, nVent, Belden, Panduit, Tripp Lite, Great Lakes Data Racks & Cabinets, Rahi Systems, IMS Engineered Products, and Chatsworth Products.
The global data center rack market is poised for remarkable growth, fueled by the increasing demand for data center infrastructure and the surge in data generation across industries. As businesses continue to invest in advanced technologies and data-driven solutions, the data center rack market is set to play a pivotal role in supporting this digital transformation.
