The need to manage limited space and high rack densities, in order to reduce IT system downtime, has been driving the data center infrastructure management (DCIM) market’s growth, since the past few years. According to AFCOM estimates, the current rack density is valued at 16.9 kW in data centers. According to a study conducted by the Data Centers Association (AFCOM), close to 67% repor ted an increase in rack density in the past three years. Moreover, the study highlights that with an average power density of about 7 kilowatts per rack, most data centers face challenges in managing their IT workloads with traditional air-cooling methods. Factors driving the rack density include the growth of cloud computing, Big Data, and AI. It is highly essential to mange IT, since more equipment is fit into the data center space. Such facts indicate the need for solutions such as DCIM. Initiatives, such as the Data Center Optimization Initiative (DCOI), are aimed at reducing the costs of physical data centers and maintaining minimum PUE rates. This is encouraging enterprises to consolidate and maximize the use of their existing infrastructure. Such initiatives prompt the need for data center services. Moreover, the high penetration of cloud computing augmented the competitiveness of the industry, as various companies, such as Google and AWS, are actively investing more in this technology. This is expected to aid in the scaling of data center resources. Furthermore, it is expected to gain more visibility in data activities.
