Technavio Announces Top Seven Vendors in the Global Data Center Rack PDU Market Until 2020Technavio has announced the top seven leading global data center rack power-distribution-unit (PDU) market vendors in their latest research report. This research report also lists 15 other prominent vendors who are expected to gain market shares over the forecast period. To identify the top vendors, Technavio's market research analysts have considered the top contributors to the overall revenue of this market. To calculate the market size, the report considers the revenue generated from the sales of data center rack PDUs worldwide. The report also presents a breakdown of market shares with forecasts for intelligent-PDUs and non-intelligent PDUs until 2020 and also highlights emerging trends that will be witnessed during the forecast period. The use of alternating phased power is one of the trends mention in the report. "Through the use of alternating phased power, wiring of PDUs in data centers is simplified, as the need for power cords is eliminated completely. Therefore, the task of plugging servers from the bottom to the top of the rack is minimized by the deployment of this architecture. Alternating phased power also provides other benefits such as better airflow, improved load balancing, and shortened cabling," said Technavio's senior industry analyst for data centers research, Rakesh Kumar Panda. "Over the next four years, most enterprises around the world are expected to establish green data centers. Therefore, it will soon become imperative for rack PDU product manufacturers to invest in rack PDU designs that will help save power and increase the efficiency of data centers," added Rakesh.
