MARKET DRIVERS
Today, people live in a world of connected devices that generate
and share huge amounts of data. The growth in devices, coupled
with the data and network traffic they are generating, is creating
the need for more and more data centers. According to Cisco, there
will be 19.5 Zettabytes (ZB) of data center cloud traffic by 2021
with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 27 percent
between 2016 and 2021.

• Data centers must become smarter, more efficient,
and more secure to support this growth.
• Energy efficiency measures are driving higher
inlet temperatures.
• Higher density equipment is moving more power
and heat into the cabinet requiring more cooling.
• Physical security is critical as more data moves
from the endpoints to data centers.
