The Indian data center infrastructure market, comprising of
server, storage and networking equipment, will total $2.03 billion in
2015, a 5.4 percent increase from 2014 revenue of $1.92 billion,
according to Gartner, Inc. India will be the second largest market
for data center infrastructure within the Asia/Pacific region, and it
will also be the second fastest growing market in Asia/Pacific in
2015.
Gartner analysts will provide the latest outlook on the Indian
data center market and related issues at Gartner Symposium/ITxpo,
scheduled 14-_17 of October, 2014 at the Grand Hyatt Goa. The theme
for this year’s conference is driving digital business, and the
2014 agenda will provide full coverage of the game-changing forces at
work in enterprise IT.
“A strong return to growth is expected next year in the Indian
data center infrastructure market, and the market will be buoyed by
an overall increase in sentiments and a strong resurgence of
growth-related projects across verticals such as banking, insurance,
telecom and the government segment,” said Aman Munglani, research
director at Gartner. ”While much of the SMB segment is likely to
focus on infrastructure build up, large enterprises within the
segments mentioned above will look at infrastructure replacement and
growth related projects covering mobility, cloud and big data.”
Indian enterprises will be focusing on building intelligent data
centers that focus on optimizing existing hardware assets by using
additional software capabilities. This will drive increased attention
on newer trends such as public cloud, and integrated systems.
Within the Indian IT infrastructure market, server revenue is
forecast to reach $677 million in 2015, a 3 percent increase over
2014 (see Table 1). This will be the first year of positive growth
post the decline of 5.3 percent in 2013 and the 2.1 percent decrease
expected in 2014. There are numerous drivers for compute capacity-
for example the Nexus of Forces (encompassing cloud, social, mobile
and information) creates a whole host of new workloads that will need
servers to provision the compute capacity. Density, power consumption
and performance are some of the top concerns on the minds of end user
organizations.
Enterprise networking is the biggest segment with revenue expected
to reach $948 million in 2015. Data center consolidation and
virtualization, along with cloud and mobility, are the key trends
influencing network purchases. There is great potential for both
users and vendors to leverage some of the emerging technologies to be
ready for the future.
