The global market for DCIM is projected to reach US$1.9 billion by 2020
Increasing Datacenter Complexity Drives the Datacenter
Infrastructure Management (DCIM) Market, According to a New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.
GIA launches comprehensive
analysis of industry segments, trends, growth drivers, market share, size and
demand forecasts on the global Datacenter Infrastructure Management (DCIM) market.
The
global market for DCIM is projected to reach US$1.9 billion by 2020, driven
by the convergence of technologies like cloud computing, virtualization, Web
2.0, Internet of Things (IoT), and Software as Service (SaaS) and the ensuing
complexity of datacenters.
Hybrid IT architecture has
made the interrelationships of a multitude of systems, hardware and software
extremely complex. The convergence of technologies like cloud computing, virtualization,
Web 2.0, Internet of Things (IoT), Software as Service (SaaS), has forced
datacenters to expand exponentially in terms of IT sprawl and capacity. Dealing
with complexity in the datacenter is therefore a major cause of concern and
focus for virtually every enterprise. Dynamic management, allocation and
migration of IT processes and applications to and fro from on-premise servers
to off-premise servers, adds a layer of infrastructure complexity.
Virtualization represents a complexity accelerant as virtual machines, their
applications and the supporting hardware are abstracted making it difficult to
monitor applications in the virtual container, thus posing serious management
issues. Automation as a result is becoming a necessity in effectively managing
datacenter infrastructure. Inefficiencies in infrastructure management such as
time lag in application rollouts & the resulting disruption of services,
unplanned expenditures and downtime, and license expiration can significantly
impact business health, especially in a market environment unforgiving of
operational inefficiencies and slow market responsiveness.
DCIM is emerging into a disruptive
tool to manage infrastructure complexity, supported by benefits such as the ability
to create a centralized, single pane system for loss-less data collection; scale
management from hundreds to thousands of datacenter assets; perform real-time
analysis and gain high impact administration awareness of what’s present and
where in an datacenter resulting in high visibility into the entire IT
infrastructure; and develop easily configurable command-and-control mechanism
for efficient IT decision making. DCIM also helps automate capacity planning
and purchase of new equipment, in addition to enhancing energy efficiency of
the datacenter. Currently, implementation of DCIM is prompted by the need to
expand data center capacities in sync with expanding business requirements. The
huge costs associated with building new datacenter facilities is a major factor
forcing datacenter managers to look for alternative solutions that allow them
to retrofit existing infrastructure and enhance effectiveness of available
resources.
Major performance
parameters in a datacenter that can be enhanced by DCIM include Power Usage
Effectiveness (PUE), Carbon Usage Efficiency (CUE), Water Usage Efficiency
(WUE), IT
Equipment Energy Efficiency (ITEE), Green Energy Coefficient (GEC), Data
Center Infrastructure Efficiency (DCIE), and Server Compute Efficiency (SCE). Key
factors driving growth in the market include rise in the number of mega datacenters
worldwide, emergence of Internet of Things (IoT) and the critical role played
by DCIM in prepping datacenters for IoT, proliferation and spread of virtualization
and the ensuing need to manage VMs to eliminate resource wasting zombie and
ghost servers & virtual sprawl, and conversely optimize virtual workloads
& capacity planning to correctly align virtual and physical resources.
As stated by the new
market research report on Datacenter
Infrastructure Management (DCIM), the United States represents the largest market
worldwide. Asia-Pacific ranks as the fastest growing market with a CAGR of 28.7%
over the analysis period, led by factors such as growing demand for unified IT management
tools, rise in co-location datacenters in emerging Asian markets, proliferation
of cloud computing and the resulting rise in software defined datacenters, and
the growing popularity of DCIM as a Service.
Major players covered in
the report include ABB, Baselayer Technology, CA Technologies, Cisco Systems, COMMSCOPE,
Cormant, Device42, Emerson Network Power, FieldView Solutions, FNT, Geist
Global, IBM Corporation, Modius, Nlyte Software, Optimum Path, Panduit, SynapSense,
RACKWISE, Rittal GmbH & Co. KG, Schneider Electric, and Sunbird Software among
others.
