Data Center Transformation Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Services (Consolidation, Optimization, Automation), By End-user, By Vertical, By Region, And Segment Forecasts, 2022 - 2030

Report Overview

The global data center transformation market size was valued at USD 7.8 billion in 2021 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.5%% from 2022 to 2030. The continuously increasing adoption of advanced technologies such as big data analytics, cloud computing, and the Internet of Things (IoT) by various organizations as a part of their digital transformation plans is putting a strain on data centers. This, in turn, fuels the demand for data center transformation globally. Additionally,the rising global demand for software-optimized data centers is expected to generate lucrative growth opportunities for the industry.

The COVID-19 pandemic had a positive impact on the data center transformation market. The growth of data centers has been fueled by increasing awareness of the benefits provided by cloud services to deliver highly secure and robust IT infrastructures and rising requirements for establishing local data centers.

A number of enterprises operating in numerous industries that rely on digital infrastructures have increased their requirement for data center services, resulting in a surge in demand for data center network services. As a large number of businesses and educational institutions are becoming online worldwide, it leads to a rise in the need for data centers to ensure required program availability and data security to them.

The process of modifying a data center to improve its overall functionality and performance is known as data center transformation. It is a large-scale change initiative that affects several essential aspects of data center use, such as hardware configurations, users, and business processes.

Growing awareness among organizations related to the consolidation of physical sites in recent years is leading to a rise in demand for the transformation of data centers. According to the Data Center Alliance, approximately 62% of data centers are attempting to consolidate as it reduces the total energy consumption, and reduces the carbon footprint of the organization.

The leading market players are widely investing in the development of cutting-edge data center technologies and the construction of new data centers to deliver cloud services to enterprises and government organizations, among other verticals. For instance, in May 2020, Microsoft Corporation announced a USD 1 billion investment in Poland for the construction of a data center that will offer cloud services to banking firms, and other organizations. As a part of this commitment, Microsoft Corporation entered into a partnership with a domestic cloud service provider, Chmura Krajowa to deliver cloud services throughout Poland and some parts of Central Europe.
