Green Data Centers Emerging as the Latest Trends in the Data Center Construction Market in the Nordic Region Until 2020, Says Technavio


According to the latest market research report by Technavio, the data center construction in the Nordic region is expected to grow at a CAGR of over 22% until 2020.

In this report, Technavio covers the present scenario and growth prospects of the Data Center Construction Market in the Nordic Region for 2016-2020. To calculate the market size, the report considers the revenue generated from new data center construction (including modular data centers) and renovation of data centers.

"Many data centers in the Nordic region comply with green standards as they are powered by renewable energy sources and use free cooling techniques. These data centers are developed with a PUE of around 1.3 with the exception of modular facilities that have a PUE of less than 1.3," said Rakesh Panda, one of Technavio's lead industry analysts for data center research.

"DCIM manages the cooling system of a data center through remote software via sensors attached to the cooling systems. Vendors in the Nordic countries are focusing on DCIM systems for monitoring and controlling temperature in data centers remotely. DCIM also configures the system as per the external environment and has sensors in the cooling system that enables the customization of cooling units," added Rakesh.
