TechNavio recognizes the following companies as the key players in the Data Center Services Market in EMEA: Computer Science Corp., Hewlett-Packard Co., IBM Corp., and T-Systems Inc.
Commenting on the report, an analyst from TechNavio’s team said: “Traditionally enterprises are opting to outsource their data center management to third-party vendors that provide data center services for longer periods, which span close to five years or more. However, there has been a trend of short-term contracts to enable enterprises to gain flexibility in their operations. The contracts are available at lower prices, which is beneficial for them. With many vendors providing data center services, there is increasing competition leading to lowering of costs and also a higher level of service being delivered. The number of long-term contracts is decreasing considerably with only about 20 percent of the contracts spanning above five years. The short-term contracts also allow enterprises to change vendor as and when required.”
According to the report, one of the major drivers in the Data Center Services market in the EMEA region is the need for advanced data center facilities. With the growing complexity of enterprise business, enterprises have a growing need to procure data center services to meet their advanced computational requirements. To meet the growing demand for data center facilities, a number of vendors are entering the market and providing advanced data center solutions. Enterprises are able to procure the services at lower cost compared to internal provisioning of the same services, which is driving higher adoption.
Further, the report states that one of the challenges is the multi-vendor approach to data center equipment procurement being followed by enterprises. Growing enterprise requirements are leading to procurement of equipment and solutions to meet their computational needs. With the consolidation of the various facilities into a single centralized location, data center service providers are facing the challenge of efficiently integrating the solutions.
