Overview:

Micro data centers are self-contained modular data centers comprising all the components of a conventional data center. Micro data center solutions are cost effective, easy to handle, and can be added to a data center capacity whenever needed, both in IT room and non-climatic controlled environments. Increasing adoption of wireless technologies coupled with rapid growth in cloud based services is the key factor driving the global micro data center market across multiple industry verticals. Benefits offered in terms of energy efficiency, portability, plug and play feature, and scalability is encouraging various enterprises to adopt micro data centers. In addition to superior benefits offered, changing needs for storage capacity and design specifications are other factors spurring the global micro data center market worldwide. Increasing demand for standardized infrastructure is also anticipated to drive the micro data center market during the forecast period (2018 – 2026).

Micro data centers form critical part of the IT strategies adopted by business enterprises across the globe. Micro data centers are more efficient and reliable as compared to the traditional data centers since they exhibit simplified workload that traditional data centers lack. Although micro data centers operate similar to conventional data centers, they have proven to be more effective on account of functionalities such as safe wiring, desired cooling, etc. Micro data centers are often used to bring computing resources closer to end users. These data centers are generally established by business organizations that have geographically dispersed operations. In such cases, micro data centers installed remotely can be used to replicate cloud services locally, thereby improving performance and the ability of enterprises to access remote data. Furthermore, micro data centers provide business continuity, performance continuity, and site continuity as they allow service providers to enter or expand into new geographies and markets without any construction delays. Inferring from aforementioned factors, demand for micro data centers is presumed to grow significantly, offering potential opportunities for ecosystem participants including micro data center manufacturers, data center hardware vendors, and other operators in the data center industry.
