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.
