Competitive vendor landscape
The global market for data center construction is highly fragmented due to the presence of several well-established vendors. The market is highly competitive, and the competitive environment is expected to strengthen with the projected increase in the number of players, product extensions, new products, and new applications of integrated product offerings.
“Increasing focus on carbon emission and consumption of electricity by data centers is spurring an increase in the adoption of green data centers globally. Green data centers enable the operation of energy-efficient IT, power, and cooling infrastructure to reduce the electricity consumption and carbon footprints.
