Global Data Center Integrated Workload Systems Market 2014-2018 with Hewlett-Packard Co., IBM Corp., and Oracle Corp. Dominating
M2 - Tue Apr 15, 9:58AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/hj9tdm/global_data) has announced the addition of the "Global Data Center Integrated Workload Systems Market 2014-2018" report to their offering. The Global Data Center Integrated Workload Systems market to grow at a CAGR of 49% to 2018. Among the numerous growth drivers for the Global Data Center IWS market, increase in big data is the major growth driver. In data centers, highly complex data traffic moves in a random order between storage, internet, servers, and intranet. Moreover, there are varieties of traditional and advanced data-intensive applications, including VoIP, storage access, and emerging converged I/O. In recent years, the markets have witnessed an increase in virtualized networking environments in data centers. Additionally, customers have been wishing to tune their networks but they have been limited by constraints in network management tools. Virtualization has increased the deployment of multi-core and blade server platforms, resulting in consolidation of the storage environment. Virtual networks can be programmed and bonded to workloads, and they are scalable to demand. Moreover, they do not require physical network reconfiguration. As they are not restricted by physical boundaries, the network resources can be efficiently utilized across noncontiguous clusters. With traditional networks it has been difficult to manage and integrate the systems they support and the services delivered by them. Earlier attempts to bridge this gap further increased the complexity of the network configuration in understanding the application status and requirements, observing the network traffic, and then replying according to the configured policy. Further, the report states that one of the main challenges is concerns regarding vendor lock-in. The investment required for data center integrated infrastructure systems is huge, and thus it takes time for enterprises to generate a substantial return on investment. Implementing a complete data center integrated infrastructure system solution usually takes a considerable amount of time. This increases the criticality of the process because, once the deployment has started, it becomes very costly to make any changes. Key vendors dominating this space are - Hewlett-Packard Co. - IBM Corp. - Oracle Corp. Other vendors mentioned in the report are: - Cisco Systems Inc - Dell Inc - EMC Corp. - Fujitsu Ltd - Hitachi Ltd - Intel Corp - NetApp Inc - Teradata Corp - VCE Company LLC - VMware Inc.
