Increase in Demand for Efficient and Cost-effective Data Centers
Presently, enterprises are trimming down their IT expenses to maximize their profit. In addition, number of data centers is rapidly increasing, which has offered enterprises a wide range of data centers to choose from. Data center operators are reducing their price range for hiring enterprises to sustain in the competitive data center cooling market. In the competitive scenario, data centers work 24/7 and generate immense heat, which can cause data loss or breakdown of these centers. Cooling solutions maintain the temperature inside data centers within permissible limits and help them to work without interruption. Energy efficiency of these cooling systems drives adoption of advanced cooling systems among data centers as they use less power makes them cost-effective. Moreover, these cooling systems prevent damage of equipment in data centers reducing the maintenance cost. Hence, advanced cooling systems in data centers drive the market growth, owing to growth in demand for cost-effective data centers
Green Initiatives for Eco-friendly Data Center Solutions
Climate change and decline in air quality index in many important cities across the globe has led governments of various nations to impose stringent environment regulations for data center solutions. Green initiatives by government bodies is a key growth factor that drives the global data center cooling market. Furthermore, traditional cooling systems emit polluted air into the environment, which is hazardous, whereas advanced cooling systems release less carbon footprint, which makes them more environment friendly. In addition, advanced cooling systems use less water for cooling as compared to traditional cooling systems. Moreover, these solutions are also adapting modular glasses and steel climate-controlled boxes and are run by geothermal power, which results in reduced carbon footprints to the environment.
