Data Center Cooling Market in MEA 2016-2020

Overview of the data center cooling market in MEA

The market research analyst at Technavio has estimated the data center cooling market in MEA to grow steadily at an impressive CAGR of about 19% by 2020. The increased heat density in data centers is considered to be one of the primary growth drivers for this market. Rapid advances in technology related to data center equipment coupled with the increased implementation of technologies have led to an increase in heat density. Additionally, there are several data centers that operate high-performance computing infrastructures all across the globe and the level of heat density in these data centers is high. Due to the growth in cloud, Internet of Things, and big data analytics, enterprises are likely to invest in high-performance big data centers, which in turn will lead to the augmented need for data center cooling solutions in MEA.

According to this market research report, DCIM (data center infrastructure management) is identified as one of the major trends in this market. Since DCIM facilitates remote monitoring of the cooling systems in data centers, vendors can monitor and manage the temperature at data centers from remote locations. Moreover, DCIM aids in configuring the system according to the external environment and also monitors the maintenance of data center equipment.
