The
rapid growth in the amount of data consumed and generated by various
organizations, businesses and individuals has led to rise in demand
for data storage leading to the increase in number of data centers.
Globally, data centers are emerging as computational hubs for
end-users and enterprises. The number of data centers is increasing
rapidly to cater to the demand for computing requirement and growing
digital content. This growth in number of data centers is leading to
the growth of data center design and construction market. Further,
the demand for enterprise-wide digital content and growth of data
centers is driving the demand for data center services across the
globe.
The
key issue related to
data center design and construction is energy consumption. It is
important for the data center manufacturers to analyze factors such
as energy use, power and cooling capacity, energy efficiency of
components/equipment used, computational fluid dynamics and thermal
zone mapping. Analysis of these factors enables designing of optimum
solutions for energy consumption in a data center. Additionally, it
is important to consider the carbon emission from the data center to
meet the environment protection standards. On the basis of type of
datacenters, the market is segmented as public data centers,
scientific computing data centers, co-location data centers and
private data centers. Public data centers are those which are
accessible to public domain. Scientific computing data centers are
used for scientific purposes by national laboratories. Co-location
data centers are those where the equipment, bandwidth and space is
available on rental basis. Private data centers are those which are
owned and operated by the organizations using the servers.
On
the basis of components and power supply data center design and
construction market is classified under four broad categories namely,
Tier 1, Tier 2, Tier 3 and Tier 4. Tier 1 data centers are those in
which there are non-redundant components and offers single up-link
and servers. Tier 2 data centers have redundant components providing
higher capacity than Tier 1. Tier 3 data centers have features of
Tier 1 and Tier 2 data centers along with multiple uplinks and dual
power providing equipments. Tier 4 data centers have dual power
supply for every component including heating, ventilating, and air
conditioning (HVAC) systems and offer the highest capacity. Data
center design and construction market is currently dominated by the
Tier 4 data centers. However, the rising adoption of cloud based
services by several small and medium sized business organizations
will boost the growth of Tier 2 and Tier 3 data centers.
Geographically,
North America dominated the market for data center design and
construction. However, the expansion of large business organizations
in Asia Pacific, Africa and Latin America and exponentially growth in
data consumption is leading to the increasing demand for data centers
in these geographies. Moreover, the availability of resources such as
land and labor in these geographies is further boosting the growth of
data center design and construction market. Additionally, the
improving communication network infrastructure in countries such as
India, China and Brazil offers potential growth opportunities for
data center design and construction companies. However, the
government regulation and variation in tax policies in different
geographies are challenging factors for the growth of data center
design and construction market.
The
market for data center design and construction is fragmented in
nature and this market is witnessing number of new players. DPR
Construction, Balfour Beatty Plc, Holder Construction, Group LLC,
Turner Construction Company, Whiting-Turner Contracting Company,
Mortenson Construction, Structure Tone, Skanska USA, Gibane, Carlson
Design Construct, JE Dunn Construction and Holfmann Construction are
some of the major players in global data center design and
construction market. Stalco Construction, Clark Group, Jones Lang
LaSalle, Walsh Group and Lend Lease are some of new players in data
center design and construction market.
