Message: Re: More Data Centre Information
from Yole Development, link to an overview of the report. (2015)http://i-micronews.com/images/Flyers/Power/Yole_New_Technologies_and_Architectures_for_Efficient_Data_Centers_Flyer_web.pdf
Last year, around $143B was invested worldwide for new data center projects. Large internet companies like Amazon, Facebook, and Google are leading the investment in next-generation “green” data centers. There is a trend towards building larger data centers, consolidating and densifying server concentration for the sites which require more efficient buildings. Consequently, the blade server market for data centers will display a 2015 - 2020 CAGR of +10.8%, while the entire server market will increase by 2.3%. Global server market share for data centers will increase from slightly lower than 20% in 2014 to almost 35% by 2020. Our regional split shows that North America (particularly the US ) has the biggest share of the server market, at 34%/$3.5B. Europe, however, leads the UPS equipment and cooling systems markets for data centers. In fact, Europe’s large UPS (>100kVA) market was estimated at $931M in 2014. In this report, Yole Développement presents market forecasts for 2010 - 2020, regional splits, and players’ market share for servers, UPS, and cooling systems. Also, each technology’s technical evolution will be presented.
...In future data centers, photonics is generally perceived as a technical solution that will handle the increasing bandwidth up to 100Gb/s and beyond. But one of photonics’ intrinsic advantages is power-saving, which is a huge plus
for interconnects that account for a significant part of power consumption. For example, with a 10Gb/s link, a copper interconnect will consume 10W, while silicon photonics or VCsELs solutions will consume 0.2W. This equates to a cost reduction from $3500/year for copper to $70/ year for photonics.
