TechNavio recognizes the following companies as the key players in the Global Data Center Rack Market: Hewlett-Packard Co., Emerson Network Power Inc., Rittal Corp and American Power Conversion Corp. (APC).
Commenting on the report, an analyst from TechNavio’s Data Center team said: ”The Global Data Center Rack market is witnessing the increasing use of taller racks. Some years ago, 36U was the industry standard and this shifted to 42U more recently. However, vendors report that customers are demanding even higher racks and the new standard may soon shift to 48U or 51U racks. This is evident from the high growth rate of these taller racks in the market as compared to the growth rate of 42U racks. These taller racks provide extra cabling options within the racks along with better airflow management. These racks also maximize the utilization of data center floor space.”
According to the report, growing business expansion and increasing loads from end-users are leading enterprises to invest in expansion of their data center facilities. With plans for growing their business, enterprises are expanding their data center capacities with additional servers and networking equipment.
Further, the report states that one of the main challenges is declining investments due to macro-economic conditions. Macro-economic conditions negatively affect future investments by enterprises in data center solutions. There is a higher cascading effect on a developing country’s market growth if economic uncertainties exist in large markets, including North America and Western Europe.
The report also includes a discussion of the other vendors operating in this market. The other vendors in the market are Oracle Corp., Fujitsu Ltd., IBM Corp., Dell Inc., Eaton Corp. and Chatsworth Products Inc.
