As a result, the Asia-Pacific region will become the largest market by 2025. This is followed by North America and the EMEA area. The factors that will serve as key market drivers are –

• Increased investments by the data center operators,
• Better deployment and usage of Big Data and IoT,
• Adoption of hybrid models with traditional data centers and cloud,
• Robust growth in the emerging economies

With the sudden move from enterprise to cloud, data centers are most likely to gain momentum because businesses can reduce operational costs and capital. This can certainly be done by avoiding investments around hardware or software infrastructure while lowering maintenance and space requirements at the same time.

“Additionally, 5G will move processing closer to the point of data collection, leading to increased deployment of micro and edge data centers and driving investments in new and next-generation data center technologies.” – explains Manoj Shankar, Research Analyst at Frost & Sullivan in the company blog.

In fact, the onsite cloud data centers will become essential as enterprises will need critical data to be saved in-house or nearby. This, thereby, will lessen the cyber-security risks such as data theft, BEC attack, and so on.

Moreover, with the high demand for competitive pressures and modular data centers, modular data center manufacturers are required to innovate in this segment and come up with more advanced concepts. This is certainly to allow added flexibility and modularity within enterprise workflow.
