Data Center Automation Market Dynamics:

Drivers:

The growing global use of the internet and networking has significantly increased the demand for computing power, additional storage space and complex networking. This requirement has caused infrastructure development in current data centers, raising capital and operating expenditures for data centers and enterprises. This expansion has also enhanced the complication of networking, integration, and resource pooling in data centers. These factors are critical to the growth of the global data center automation market.

To address the concerns of the growing need for resource pooling, networking simplification, and overall data center management, innovators developed the complex conception of data center automation, also known as Software-Defined Data Centers (SDDCs). This enables conventional data center operators to level up their current infrastructure effortlessly, resulting in lower overheads. This additionally contributes to the integration of server storage and networking and the streamlined management of all resources. Data center automation assists enterprises and service providers in managing their active data centers and networks by overcoming the challenges of scalability, flexibility, manageability, and cost reduction.

Restraints:

Lack of skilled professionals 

Given the number of new technology innovations on the market, it is vital to have employees who are skilled in maintaining and programming advanced technologies. When addressing skill shortages, the data center skills difference is broadening. According to a study, more than half of data center workers need help recruiting staff as of April 2021. Moreover, the number of employees required to operate global data centers is expected to rise from 2 million in 2019 to approximately 2.3 million in 2025, implying that the number will increase even further.

According to the survey, 29% of respondents needed help recruiting cloud professionals, while 26% had difficulty recruiting data center facilities, engineering, and technicians. Furthermore, 25% of respondents reported needing help finding qualified candidates for network security, IT and data center management, and DevOps. Thus, the lack of skilled professionals restricts the market growth. 

Opportunity:

Rapid advancement in technology

The rapid advancement in technology transforming data centers, such as server virtualization, is expected to drive the market. Many manag

ed service providers (MSPs) and data centers are migrating to Software-Defined Data Centers to reduce infrastructure burdens (SDDCs). Virtualization technologies recreate computing power and storage in software form in an SDDC model. In contrast to the traditional, inefficient method of issuing one server to each user, server virtualization enables data centers and service providers to house multiple users on a single server by segmenting servers.

Since workloads are distributed across multiple servers, virtualization improves scalability. This model effectively functions as a cloud model, with the service provider allocating data storage and processing power on an 'as needed' basis. Virtualization also improves efficiency by ensuring that resources are used to their full potential.

COVID-19 Impact:

COVID-19 had a positive impact on the data center automation market. The pandemic led to an increase in the adoption of digital services, such as e-commerce, contactless payments, e-payment, online banking, and others. This resulted in the generation of vast amounts of data. Moreover, there was a rise in internet traffic due to working from home and social distancing. Therefore there was a massive demand for data centre smooth connectivity, computing power for collaborative software for the organizations and maintaining data security and safety. Thus, the data center automation market was fueled by the crises of managing data centers during the lockdown.

Solution Insights:

Based on the solution segment, the data center automation market is segmented into network automation, server automation, and storage automation. In 2022, the server automation segment accounted for the largest market share of 52% and is expected to grow at a faster rate during the forecast period.

The growth of the segment is driven by the growing demand for efficient servers, which led to adequate network and storage facilities. Server automation benefits include clean architecture, secure and reliable, more accessible and reliable environment setup, instant feedback, software policies, range of interfaces and tools, testing and rollback of deployments. Server automation can help ease and accelerate the deployment process in various ways, beginning with the emergence of test environments.

Test environments that employ the same procedures as production enables developers to see how new features perform before releasing them to the final customer. Thus, server automation combines task and process automation to improve application deployment and administration across virtual and physical servers and provides end-to-end management via automated workflows, which reduce human errors.

Service Insights:

The data center automation market is segmented based on services: consulting, installation, and support services. In 2022, the installation and support services segment accounted for the largest market share.
