KEY TRENDS

Growing Deployment of 5G Services Will Increase Edge Data Center Demand

• The growing 5G connectivity is increasing data generation and the need to construct more edge data centers. The demand is also growing in tier II and tier III cities, where constructing a large data center is impossible or is located farther from any established data center. The evidence of growing 5G deployments in countries across the European regions is mentioned below:
• VueNow InfoTech, an Indian data center firm, has announced its plan to build six edge data center facilities in Bulgaria, connected to a data center in Plovdiv Tech Park.

Growing Adoption of Innovative IT Infrastructure Will Drive the Demand for Advanced Technologies in the IT Infrastructure Market

• IT infrastructure in the Europe industry has changed over the last few years, with the increased construction of self-built data centers by hyperscale operators and expansions and new projects by colocation operators.
• Some IT infrastructure trends witnessed in the industry are the adoption of NVMe storage, the increase in the adoption of 200/400 GbE ports, ARM-based architecture, server virtualization, and the adoption of converged and hyper-converged infrastructure.

SEGMENTATION INSIGHTS

• Regarding power infrastructure, UPS systems were the highest contributors to power market investment. Among generators, the adoption of systems with a capacity of over 2 MW is higher due to the construction of large data center facilities. At present, most data centers.
• In terms of cooling systems, free cooling techniques have grown significantly over the last few years across regions with favorable climatic conditions that can use evaporative/adiabatic coolers for facility cooling purposes. The power consumed by cooling systems plays a vital role in achieving very low PUE.
• Cloud, big data, and IoT continue raising demand for data centers and IT infrastructure. The Europe data center market for IT infrastructure is thriving due to investments in hyperscale data centers. Enterprises are adopting infrastructure configured or built to suit application workloads.
