The data center landscape is evolving, from the growth of cloud and colocation data center service providers to enterprise hybrid IT deployments, all augmented by the increasing trend of edge computing. Data center physical infrastructure is not only adapting to this new data center landscape but playing a critical role in enabling the next generation of compute deployments. This includes physical infrastructure to support increasing rack power densities, liquid thermal management solutions, and remote monitoring and management services to support the next wave of sustainable data centers.

In this report, we assess the market for data center physical infrastructure equipment vendors and address questions such as:

  • What is the total available market for data center physical infrastructure and what is the outlook over the next 5 years?
  • How does the data center physical infrastructure market outlook vary by UPS, thermal management, power distribution, IT racks and containment, and software and service market segments?
  • How does accelerated computing IT infrastructure and AI workloads impact data center power and cooling requirements?
  • How are increasing data center power densities impacting the adoption of different power and thermal management technologies?
  • What role does data center physical infrastructure play in overcoming power availability and AI workload variability?
  • What software and services are physical infrastructure vendors using to support data center operations?
  • Who are the key market players and how does it vary by product and region?
  • How are data center physical infrastructure providers enabling sustainable data center growth?

To answer these and other important questions, Dell’Oro Group delivers quarterly reports and 5-year forecasts on the Data Center Physical Infrastructure market.
