Commenting on the report, an analyst from TechNavio’s team said: “In recent years, there has been an increase in virtualized networking environments in data centers. Additionally, customers have wanted to tune their networks, but they have been limited by the constraints in network management tools. Virtualization has increased the deployment of multi-core and blade server platforms, resulting in consolidation of the storage environment. Virtual networks can be programmed and bonded to workloads, and they are scalable to demand. Moreover, they do not require physical network reconfiguration. Since they are not bound by physical boundaries, network resources can be efficiently utilized across noncontiguous clusters. With traditional networks it has been difficult to manage and integrate the systems they support and the services delivered by them. Earlier attempts to bridge this gap further increased the complexity of network configuration in terms of understanding application status and requirements, observing network traffic, and then replying according to the configured policy.”
According to the report, among the numerous growth drivers in the Data Center market in China, the increasing deployment of data centers is the major growth driver. Enterprises are increasingly deploying data centers to reduce the cost of infrastructure, technology, and human resources. Moreover, data centers are helpful in disaster recovery and they improve network infrastructure security.
Further, the report states that one of the main challenges is the huge capital investment required to deploy a data center and also to upgrade a traditional data center. Despite the relatively smaller breakeven time period for data centers, which is a positive benefit of adoption, the high initial investment needed is hindering the adoption of data center technology in various developing regions in China.
