Dubai

DatacenterDynamics annual census consistently points to the fact that datacentres represent a sizeable and growing industry in the Middle East with an ever increasing demand for power, space, skilled manpower, investment and optimisation. The Middle East market saw 18% growth in investment in Facility equipment, 7.5% in IT Optimisation and 16.7% in Managed Services in 2013, summing up to an enormous amount of USD 1.22 billion. This clearly proves that datacentres are not only evolving rapidly but also taking up more pivotal roles in the core business operations within their organisations. With growing investment focus on new technologies, cloud and big data are  anticipated to usher in a revolution in the industry.

The sudden surge of data creation and use are increasingly posing new challenges as the volume of it becomes too huge to handle. Due to this huge volume of data, enormous storage and bandwidth resources are required. As an industry, datacenters are experiencing a shift towards more flexible, efficient and reliable network solutions. The explosion of data is forcing an end to the traditional network with market analysts predicting 80% of network traffic to flow from server to server by 2014. It is then most obvious to expect organisations in the Middle East to graduate towards making successful use of easily adaptable and cost efficient technologies.

With nearly 10 billion devices connected to the internet globally and predictions of exponential growth in the Middle East, the industry has reached a point where the space, power and cost demands of traditional technologies are no longer sustainable. It is time to stop, ponder and to gauge the current capacities against future needs.
