Myriad Benefits of Cloud Computing Bring Out the Significance of Internet Datacenters in an Era Where Agility, On-Demand Scalability & Low Costs are Linchpins for Business Success
Myriad
benefits of cloud computing, the exponential increase in data volumes and the ensuing
need to expand data center capacity are poised to drive the global market for Internet
Data Centers to reach US$89.5 billion by 2022.
Internet
Data Centers (IDCs) are data centers operated by Internet service providers,
system integrators, common carriers, and are connected to the Internet and
accessed by the Internet. Unlike data centers specifically built for a single
large company, IDCs are third-party data centers hosted on behalf of companies
and are designed to house all data-storage functions of clients and/or house
all servers and related Internet equipment. IDCs facilitate in the maintenance of
resources and also enable integration of server storage and networking.
Increased information availability, enhanced data access and improved server
capabilities are major advantages of IDCs. These data centers also aid in
addressing various business challenges including scalability, flexibility and
manageability, while also reducing costs. With growing emphasis on cost
reduction, the benefits of shared infrastructures are emerging into the
spotlight, thereby driving popularity of third party, outsourced IDCs. The
increased focus on reducing internal consumption of resources and dispensing
the cost-burden of IT administration are leading to increased reliance on third
party “multi-sourced” partners. With broadband Internet changing the basics of
computing, building of IDCs is gaining prominence in the data center industry. The
continuous evolution of IT and technology, growing prominence of cloud-based
services and Internet of Things (IoT), and increasing role of
mobility in enterprise operations are enhancing data storage needs of companies,
thus driving businesses to invest in expanding capacity of data centers. The
market is also being positively impacted by the shift towards greener and more
efficient facilities, due to the growing importance of sustainability and green
accreditations.
The
growing realization of the importance of sharing IT infrastructures, software,
servers and bandwidth for successfully doing more with less continues to drive
growth in the market. Over the coming years, the market is expected to grow
driven by sustained efforts to upgrade and maintain data centers, with growth
also being fostered by the increasing number of available applications.
Increasing use of cloud computing and the growing need for ubiquitous data are
driving growth in the Internet data centers market. The increasing deployment
of Internet data centers in heterogeneous environments and hybrid clouds is
also anticipated to emerge as a critical factor over the coming years. The growth
in the market will also be driven by the expanding range of functionalities
offered by the centers. At present cloud storage, Enterprise Resource Planning
(ERP) systems, application servers, data warehouses and file servers are some
of the applications of Internet data centers.
As
stated by the new market research report on Internet Data Centers, the United States
represents the largest market worldwide. Asia-Pacific is poised to record the fastest
CAGR of 20.6% over the analysis period. The market is being driven by the rapid
expansion of cloud-based services and increased adoption of Internet of Things
(IoT) in several countries across the region.
