Data Center Rack Market Insights

A data center rack is an electronic framework, which is designed to support servers, routers, switches, and other network equipment. Data center racks are installed, mainly for infrastructure management in data centers. These are widely used in manufacturing, retail, BFSI, IT & telecommunication industries. Rise in adoption of data center solutions that enables easy and efficient management of data center networks is expected to support growth of the market. Rack solutions are designed to support various servers in a secure environment. Modern racks are equipped with features such as power management, cooling, connectivity, and cable management. Innovative monitoring solutions also enable remote monitoring of racks and equipment hosted in the racks. Most racks are equipped with sensors that provide real-time information on status and performance of the racks.

Market scope and structure analysis:

COVID-19 Scenario Analysis: 

• With the help of hyperscale data centers web services, numerous companies apply algorithms to industry specific models that can recognize, classify, and analyze relationships in data and can be used to recommend content, tag photos, and deliver relevant advertising.
• Advent of COVID-19 has disrupted data center transformation. Growth in data traffic, owing to initiatives such as work from home and lockdown have propelled data center services such as VON services, video gaming, cloud computing, internet exchanges, content delivery networks, and other online services. This has compelled data center companies to improve their infrastructure, which, in turn, is expected to drive the growth of the market in the coming 10 years.
• The data center construction continues to move forward, with a handful of projects slowed by COVID-19.

Top impacting factors: Market Scenario Analysis, Trends, Drivers, and Impact Analysis

Major factors that drive growth of the data center rack market include rapid increase of data center colocation facilities across the globe and rise in server density. However, hyper-converged infrastructure that provide rack-scale platforms in data centers is one of the factors that hamper growth of the market to some extent. Furthermore, the adoption of durable rack and rise in hyper-scale transformation can provide opportunities for the vendors operating in the global data center rack market.

Rapid increase of data center colocation facilities across the globe

In colocation instead of renting a server, client rents a rack space and then procures a server of his own. The idea behind colocation is to make data center as handy as possible. The cost of operating a data center in some cases can be more than an industry's revenue. The maintenance itself involves a major concern of investment. Thus, when clients co-locates server, they move some essential hardware to any convenient data center. The advantages of using server colocation service are that it ensures high availability of servers while lowering the capital cost that businesses have to spend on obtaining features such as rack space, bandwidth, firewalls, and cooling. Another huge advantage for companies that opt for colocation services is data security. Colocation allows organizations to expand infrastructure without stressing too much on capital expenses. Moreover, effective management of cables, host servers, and facilitation of air flow to ensure high performance of data centers is also a factor that supports the growth of the market.

Inadequate cooling requirements 

Management of data center cable is a complex task. The fact is that improper cable management can cause trouble for entire enterprise with unstructured cabinets, difficulty in installation of equipment, and extended periods for maintenance and troubleshooting. Inadequate cooling requirements in data centers create dangerous environment, owing to restricted airflow to cabinets. In addition, tracking of cabinets on excel spreadsheets becomes more challenging as rack densities and multi hop connections increase. Many organizations are investing resources and time in the implementation, planning, and ongoing maintenance of their network infrastructure. However, enterprises still struggle to address many of the key challenges of data center cable management.
