The rapid technological changes taking place globally, are increasingly adopting data centre rack server approach to move beyond the concept of tower servers for data centres. Significant importance has been gained by data centre rack server solutions among organizations in past few years due to highly scalability, reliability and easy migration from traditional technologies. Data Center Rack Server-is a dedicated computer to be used as a server, which gets deployed on an independent hardware platform and virtual operating systems to eliminate the need of traditional hardware systems. It is designed to be installed in a rack architecture that contains several mounting slots known as bays which helps the organisations to store, access and control the data effectively.
Moreover, Data Center Rack Server is a major and important component of business technology architecture, which centralizes the network resources and enable multiple virtual servers run in an isolated environment to serve large & heavy applications, cloud based solutions and big data flow. The solution also enables big organisations having series of data servers to connect with different parts of the network and exchange data easily.
Businesses moving towards green IT are focusing on less power consumption systems. Data Center Rack Server-solution minimises the use to high energy resources for operations, generating huge opportunity for market growth from sectors such as telecommunication, retail, cloud providers, big data analytics, government organisations and defence services.
Energy efficient information technology architecture, rapid growth in virtualizations and cloud based solutions, high performance computing solutions, improved data processing capabilities and minimising large work load are generating huge demand for Data Center Rack Server-solutions. Moreover, Data Center Rack Server-are capable of being installed in small organisations, also with less initial set up cost; thus, reducing the operational and associated cost and increasing the efficiency, agility and performance from traditional data server platforms.
Increasing number of businesses looking for low cost, scalable data centre solutions is majorly driving the growth of the global Data Center Rack Server-market. Some other factors driving the growth of the global market-include increasing need for highly dense and large storage servers, seamless migration from traditional technologies, minimum space requirements and supportive data centre management.
Meeting faster adaptability requirements and lack of user expertise by many companies is the major challenge for growth of the global Data Center Rack Server-market. In addition, high maintenance & serviceability cost, easy availability of resources and data centre assets, optimizing current physical infrastructure, need for integrated cooling systems and complex monitoring are also some challenges to the global market. Risk of transition from static IT infrastructure to dynamic IT infrastructure, faster end to end performance visibility and requirement of supportive technology infrastructure may hinder the progress of the global Data Center Rack Server-market.
North America region, with more advanced technology ecosystem and greater user expertise, is expected to be the largest Data Center Rack Server-market. Rapid growth in data traffic, increasing adoption of new business technologies and requirement of low cost server solutions by fast growing economies of APAC such as India and China also have potential growth opportunities in the region.
Technology providers with large spending are increasing their investments in data centre related technologies due to increased demand of such solutions globally. Some of the major players in the global rack server and data centre market are Cisco Systems, Inc., NEC Corporation, Lenovo Group Limited, Iron Systems, Inc. and Fujitsu Ltd.
