Research and Markets: Global Data Center Rack Power Distribution Unit (PDU) Market 2015-2019


Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/dps8qn/global_data) has announced the addition of the "Global Data Center Rack Power Distribution Unit (PDU) Market 2015-2019" report to their offering.

The analysts forecast the Global Data Center Rack PDU market to grow at a CAGR of 12.50 percent over the period 2014-2019.

Data center rack power distribution units (PDUs) are devices that supply electrical power to a server rack in a data center environment. Rack mounted PDUs are manufactured in different sizes and configurations depending upon the type of connection and voltage. PDUs also include monitoring functionality and remote access. PDUs can be easily installed, configured and managed. PDUs supply AC power to IT equipment within the rack. PDUs can be distinguished into simple and inexpensiv rack-mounted power strips based on functionalities that include power filtering, remote monitoring, control by LAN or SNMP and intelligent load balancing.



One key trend upcoming in this market is the increased competitiveness among vendors in the market. Cloud computing and virtualization are expected to give a massive boost to the data center infrastructure market. Several pure-play vendors and other DCI vendors are present in the market. End-users have many options to choose from based on their business requirements.

According to the report, the Global Data Center Rack PDU market is primarily driven by the increased demand for data centers, which is attributed to the increased usage of cloud computing and big data analytics by enterprises. As the demand for data centers increases, the number of PDU products used in the data center environment will also increase.


Further, the report states that the increased complexity of data center servers is a key challenge that the market faces. Many business applications are managed through the cloud and server virtualization. Increased usage of storage and network equipment makes the data center environment more complex. Rack PDUs distribute power to this equipment to maintain application efficiency and performance.
