Spending on DCIM software to pass USD4.5bnn by 2020, forecasts Navigant Research
The need for data centers to improve their energy efficiency while meeting an ever-growing demand for IT capacity is driving rapid growth in the market for data center infrastructure management (DCIM). DCIM – the software, systems, and services that monitor, measure, and help control a data center’s IT and facilities infrastructure – is becoming a must-have technology for managing the complexities of the modern data center.
“By enabling deep visibility into all aspects of a data center’s operations, DCIM technology is opening tremendous opportunities for data centers to become more manageable and efficient,” said Eric Woods, research director with Navigant Research. “At the same time, market hurdles, such as risk aversion among customers and lack of awareness of DCIM capabilities, have dissipated, opening significant opportunities for DCIM vendors.”
DCIM enables data center operators to reduce energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, and total cost of ownership, while boosting productivity and helping managers understand data center performance and spending through detailed metrics. The most effective DCIM solutions help data center operators optimize the efficient use of power, cooling, space, and human resources. Outside of the data center itself, DCIM solutions also help to optimize operating costs and capital expenditures.
