Market Overview

Service Providers Look to Explore Countries that are Tipped to Become Regional Data Center Hubs for their Future Data Center Facilities

Asia Pacific Market Experiences Renewed Demand as Organizations Seek Cost Effective Ways to Meet Increasing Data Center Requirements

Space restraints, higher realty prices and rising operational challenges in the traditional data center hubs of Hong Kong and Singapore are causing service providers to evaluate alternate low-cost countries such as Malaysia, India and China to locate their future data center facilities. “Most data centers are working at high utilization levels and service providers are hard pressed to identify the right locations for new data center build outs that provide the required infrastructure, at a sustainable price,” says the analyst of this research. “Market participants are adopting virtualization, consolidation and cloud computing to alleviate some of these cost pressures.” Further, the growing adoption of high-density blade servers is resulting in escalating power and cooling requirements. The latest power and cooling technologies will reduce the overall demand for data centre space, as they enable better packing of efficient blade servers.

Meanwhile, renewed corporate growth in the Asia Pacific in 2010 has given impetus to organizations’ business expansion efforts. “As the outlook for North America and Europe is not very promising, global businesses are focusing their efforts on Asia Pacific to drive the next phase of corporate growth,” notes the analyst. “Global service providers have identified this as an opportunity and are beefing up their presence in the region, as an increasing number of businesses are looking at third-party service providers to supplement or replace their captive facilities.” Service providers are virtualizing a greater part of their servers and incorporating Green IT best practices across facilities. Future data centers will also have higher power densities, be carrier neutral and be built in low-cost locations.
