Automated Infrastructure Management Solutions Market Size
Automated Infrastructure Management Solutions Market size exceeded USD 1.5 billion in 2020 and is anticipated to grow at over 15% CAGR from 2021 to 2027. The market growth can be attributed to the rapid adoption of cloud–based solutions.
AIM solutions refer to the systems that help in the real–time monitoring of the data center infrastructure without any human interference. These systems handle the entire physical layer of the system and are capable of automatically monitoring, detecting, and documenting the connectivity and networking issues. They can mitigate the occurrences of potentially harmful situations by informing the operators on time and allow management of cables and infrastructure, allowing real–time connectivity. The growing investments for upgrading existing data centers coupled with the deployment of the new data centers are propelling the market expansion.
The ongoing work–from–home culture and digitalization are also driving the market progression. The acceptance of these services has generated a large amount of customer–related data/information, compelling companies to invest in the upgrading of their data center facilities and integrated software solutions. For instance, owing to the pandemic–induced work–from–home culture, players have started investing in the deployment of hyperscale data centers in the European countries, such as the UK, France, Germany, and Poland, to meet the growing demand.
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted the data center industry in 2020. The global lockdown impacted the sales channels, supply chains, manufacturing operations, workforce, and other key aspects of data center operations. Several companies reported a decline in revenue due to currency fluctuations and delays in ongoing projects. However, by the end of the year, the market started witnessing growth attributed to the significantly high usage of internet and cloud–based solutions by the end users, resulting in high data volumes and the need for scaling up the existing data center infrastructure. At present, the market is registering a significant growth in regions, such as North America and Europe, owing to the high investments by players in the upgrading and development of colocation and hyperscale data centers.
Automated Infrastructure Management Solutions Market Analysis
The UK market will register 19% growth rate through 2027 and is expected to observe a high demand for managing and tracking the IT infrastructure performance. For ensuring the effective equipment management the data center operators are adopting the AIM solutions. These solutions help the data center operators in the real time management of the energy, light, and security and access control of IT systems. Also, they aid the end users to monitor and track data center assets, maximize uptime & availability, and to identify optimization methods. The demand for these solutions is credited to the investments in the UK colocation data center facilities by several industry players.
The U.S. AIM solutions market by colocation data center end-users is estimated to attain a CAGR of 13% till 2027. The demand for automated colocation data centers is driven by hyperscale users. Facebook, Microsoft, Apple, and Google have opted to host services in wholesale data centers. Leasers, such as Equinix and Digital Realty are offering solutions that help colocation service providers to automate their data centers.
The emergence of hyperscale/edge/colocation infrastructures supports the implementation of cabling networks, creating the need to continuously detect wiring faults and maintain the complex data center networks. As a result, the users are shifting toward automated cable management solutions that offer high efficiency over the manual methods. Additionally, the proliferation of IT & telecom companies in the U.S. is creating several industry growth opportunities to cater to the increasing requirements to manage complex cabling structures.
Europe AIM solutions market captured 20% of revenue share in 2020. The rapid development of IT infrastructure, high adoption of cloud & IoT solutions by enterprises, and the increasing number of data centers facilities are supporting the regional growth. Further, digitalization and the global pandemic have surged the demand for digital communications. Automated data center services are hence on the rise and participants are investing heavily on upgrading their existing infrastructure to meet the rapidly growing storage demand.
Moreover, the end–use industries, such as BFSI, manufacturing, and energy and utilities, are fostering the industry expansion in the region as these sectors are focusing on the elimination of human involvement in managing complex cabling tasks by adopting automated management solutions.
