Data Center IT Infrastructure Market: Key Drivers, Trends, Challenges, and Customer Landscape
The technology refresh cycles are notably driving the market growth, although factors such as data security concerns and increasing cybersecurity threats may impede the market growth. Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
Key Data Center IT Infrastructure Market Driver
The technology refresh cycles are notably driving market growth. The need for servers is being driven by businesses going through IT system refresh cycles to make sure their server, storage, and network infrastructure is prepared for future computing demands. Enterprises are not only buying standard x86 server units for high-performance computing tasks. Several vendors have signed and even completed major server refresh deals with their customers.
Dell Technologies introduced a flexible consumption model to offer its clients a fixed and buffer server installed base. This model can track the server requirements and usage patterns of the clients using automated tools. For instance, if a client uses the buffer server installed base frequently, then the consumption model is modified, and the fixed server installed base is scaled up. Thus, enterprises' initiatives for scaling up on-premise data centers are fueling the growth of the global data center server market during the forecast period.
Significant Data Center IT Infrastructure Market Trend
Increasing use of HCI solutions as an alternative to the public cloud is an emerging trend in the market. HCI solutions can eliminate the need for multiple experts required to manage different data center components and can be deployed faster than traditional data center systems. One of the biggest advantages of HCI solutions is that they can work with any commodity hardware.
There are several risks and regulations associated with storing data on the public cloud. In such cases, HCI systems act as a good alternative to the public cloud as they are simple to manage and help cut the costs associated with traditional data center systems. One of the value propositions of HCI is to bring cloud-like flexibility to on-premise data centers. In fact, many cloud service providers are implementing HCI systems in their cloud data centers and, therefore, are among the key customers of HCI vendors. The abovementioned factors will lead to steady growth of the market during the forecast period.
Major Data Center IT Infrastructure Market Challenge
Data security concerns and increasing cybersecurity threats is the major challenge impeding the market growth. Cybercrime is increasing with the growing adoption of cloud services and the IoT and enterprise servers are at risk of being hacked by cybercriminals. These hackers take advantage of IT security loopholes to gain access to enterprise servers. Cyberattacks have also evolved from hit-and-trial methods to more targeted, methodological, and long-standing attacks.
Cyberattacks can compromise the enterprises' data and can even result in the shutting down of certain segments of the business operations of enterprises. Strict data protection regulations are being enforced, and failure to comply can lead to the imposition of hefty penalties and fines on enterprises. This will restrict the growth of the market during the forecast period.
