Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Global Data Center Construction Market 2014-2018" report to their offering.
The Global Data Center Construction market to grow at a CAGR of 21% to 2018.
One of the major drivers is the growing demand for data center colocation services. With the increasing complexity of the network infrastructure, the enterprises are finding it difficult to manage data centers and computing infrastructure internally. There are a number of colocation data center facilities being established across the globe that cater to the computing requirements of multiple enterprises.
Data centers across the globe are experiencing a number of regulatory restrictions being imposed by the regulatory authorities, which is driving higher adoption of green data center computing facilities being incorporated into the data centers. The data center service providers are adopting alternative sources of power such as solar energy to power the data centers. Further, technological developments in powering and cooling systems for data centers are leading to the evolution of solutions that consume lower power and delivery of high-performance computing services. The adoption of economizer technology in regions where the temperatures outside the data center facilities is lower than the temperature inside is leading to a considerable reduction in the power consumption.
Further, the report states that one of the major challenges is the introduction of containerized data center solutions that is lowering the demand for traditional data center facilities. The containerized data center solutions enable faster scaling of data center facilities and are also equipped with the required powering and cooling solutions. This hinders the growth of data center construction services.
