DataCenterKnowledge.com recently released their 2011/2012 Data Center Market Insights report detailing the key trends driving data center market growth. Their methodology included a poll of over 200 data center professionals, including IT executives and facilities management in more than 13 different industries.

A rising trend toward data center outsourcing is gaining momentum as 62 percent of respondents reported they are currently outsourcing, testing, or planning to use a data center service provider. What accounts for the trend in using IT vendors? A few significant advantages include avoiding capital expenses, reallocating resources into operating expenses and helping to ease capacity, or provisioning planning issues.

Annual spending on data center products and services shows over half (57 percent) of respondents investing $1 million or more each year, and 24 percent of respondents invest $1-9.9 million a year. This data is complimentary to the findings of 51 percent of respondents either currently expanding or planning data center expansion in 2012.

The expansion also relates to the ability to keep up with service demands, and aligns with the top concerns and challenges of 44 percent of data center operators – data center scalability. Worries about keeping up with growing applications and audiences may be put to ease with the use of cloud computing services to improve speed-to-market and ease of deployment. The second top concern is data center capacity planning, at 42 percent, which, on average, can take 1-3 years to plan and deploy a data center, not to mention an investment of millions of dollars.

Concerns about scalability and capacity may provide insight to the 15 percent increase in cloud computing usage since 2010. Sixty-two percent surveyed are currently using or testing the cloud, while 28 percent have no future plans to deploy the cloud – down from 41 percent that had no future cloud plans in 2010, showing increasing comfort cloud adoption in 2011.

Hybrid IT: Perhaps the greatest effect of public cloud computing on IT concerns operations. IT organisations realise that not only do they need to compete with public cloud service providers (CSPs), but also act as intermediaries between internal customers and all IT services (internal or external).

IT organisations are becoming brokers of a set of IT services hosted partly internally and partly externally
IT organisations are becoming brokers of a set of IT services hosted partly internally and partly externally — that is, of hybrid IT. As intermediaries, IT organisations can offer internal customers the price, capacity and provisioning speed of the external cloud, and the protection and security of the internal cloud.

Internal clouds: When businesses grow accustomed to consuming IT as a service, IT organisations will be compelled to build internal clouds. Unfortunately, building an internal cloud is hard work and few blueprints exist. Although vendors are building products that will help customers build internal clouds, there is no turnkey solution. IT organisations will struggle to cobble together the necessary pieces to build internal clouds. Nevertheless, building them will be a key data centre trend in 2012 because of the need to compete with external cloud computing.

Hybrid clouds: Hybrid clouds are connections between two clouds, usually an internal private cloud and an external public cloud. They are constructed using software that enables applications and data to migrate more easily between clouds. For example, many applications depend on identity management systems to authenticate users, have gigabytes of data, and have input/output latency dependencies for storage. These attributes often prevent applications from migrating to the external cloud, but hybrid cloud solutions them in unique ways. For example, hybrid cloud software can enable WAN acceleration and VPN connections between clouds that allow IT organisations to keep application services and critical data in the internal cloud, and to move the workload itself to the public cloud. As IT budgets continue to shrink and capital resources remain scarce, hybrid clouds will become a more popular option for augmenting IT capacity and enabling disaster recovery than building another data centre or signing a long-term outsourcing agreement.

GARTNER DATA CENTER & IT OPERATIONS SUMMIT 2011
The Gartner Data Center & IT Operations Summit 2011 will help data centre professionals to understand the potential of disruptive technologies such as cloud computing, fabric computing and virtualisation and to harness them to deliver business value. It explores both the tactical and strategic impacts in terms of organisational structures, sustainability agendas, process transformation, technology implementation and the influences of security and licensing on technology choice. For further information on the Summit click here.

User-centric computing: To compete in a global market and retain key employees,organisations often have to accommodate staff who live in remote locations and use personal devices for work. Some organisations are attempting to radically reduce the operational expense of supporting numerous desktop devices for large groups of users with various application requirements. These needs create new challenges for IT organisations to secure data; back up data; support smaller, less functional devices; and support a broader range of devices. Therefore, many IT organisations are rethinking their desktop and mobility strategies and adopting a user-centric, rather than a device-centric, point of view.

Sample size operates almost 100,000 facilities – projected increase of 7% into 2012.

Sample operates 7.7 million racks – projected increase of 15% into 2012.

Sample consumes 31 GW of energy – projected increase of 19% into 2012 (where 1GW is power used by 750,000 to 1 million homes).

2010-11 investment about $US30 BN – expected to rise to $US35 BN in next 12 months (i.e. equivalent to nominal GDP of Kenya, Costa Rica, Lithuania).

Growth is common to all markets covered by the Census although the extent of growth varies according to the urgency of the market’s IT requirement, its already established facility base and the capability of its resource base to fund, develop and maintain new facilities.

‘Growth’ in the context of data center markets can take a number of forms to meet increased IT demand:

• The construction of new facilities
• The extension or upgrading of existing facilities to cope with increased IT demand
• Increased use of outsourcing

Why is the Data center beating the global recession?

• World is becoming more IT dependent. Even in ‘developed’ economies still
considerable room for expansion of IT functions within businesses, Government
and society.
• In 5 years the number of Internet users has jumped from 1.043 billion users (16% of
the world’s population, June 2006) to 2.11 billion (30%, June 2011) (source: Internet
World Stats).
• The number of smartphones is projected to rise from 500 million in 2011 to 2 billion
by 2015 (International Telecommunications Union).
• In August 1995 there were 18000 websites, by 2009 this had risen to 215 million
(Netcraft estimate).
