The key growth driver for the data center market is the
ongoing investment in large captive data centers coupled with the capacity
growth witnessed within the data center service provider space. The cloud
service providers will also be a key contributor to the infrastructure
consumption, especially for commodity type, scalable technologies, such as
scale out systems and extreme low energy servers,” said Aman Munglani, research
director at Gartner.
