Rugged Servers Market Trends




  • Rising adoption of cloud applications is driving market growth




Market CAGR for rugged servers is being driven by the rising adoption of cloud applications. Enterprises are attempting to embrace cold-climate data storage centres in order to reduce the power consumption of cooling systems, which are required to maintain a steady temperature within the data centre. Furthermore, the growing popularity of cloud storage has affected the worldwide data centre business. Several networking service providers, including Facebook, Google, and Amazon, provide cloud storage services. Cloud computing delivers centralized compute via a data centre. 


One of the key causes for the expansion in the number of data centres worldwide has been the development of the cloud computing platform. Investments in cold-weather data centres will benefit the market for robust servers. Aside from the enterprise segment, the military's growing emphasis on data centres will have a favourable impact on the industry.


The rise of containerized data centres will drive the growth of the worldwide rugged servers market. Containerized data centres are mobile data centres that can be utilized to expand data centre capacity as needed. These data centres can be located anywhere that meets the capacity requirements. These data centres are built with a variety of modules that may be transported, retrofitted, or added to an existing data centre. It is important to highlight that these modular data centres are built with standard components.


This was done to make it easier to integrate with current data centre networks. Containerized data centres, as the name implies, are made up of servers, storage, and networking equipment that are housed in a normal shipping container. These are then delivered to the destination. Containerized data centres have been created by several leading companies, including IBM and CISCO. Containerized data centres must be outfitted with servers that can function at any moment in time, regardless of location. This opens the door for suppliers in the worldwide rugged servers market to produce servers that are compatible with containerized data centres.


Due to expanding consumer trends and industrial technology, enterprises offering electronics and computer equipment are rapidly altering and adapting to the latest technologies, including loT and edge computing. Manufacturers are adapting to market developments and incorporating innovative technologies into their businesses. As a result, product functionality and regulatory compliance are becoming increasingly important.


Device integrations allow service providers to include multi-functional gadgets into their business strategies. By changing stand-alone gadgets into highly functioning multi-purpose devices, this method improves device capabilities and accelerates sales growth. Commercial off the shelf (COTS) items are used in defence standard equipment, providing assurance and compliance to operate under harsh conditions. These servers meet military-grade specifications for operating temperature and humidity, among other things, easing consumer needs and enhancing growth and expansion.


For instance, in March 2021, Lenovo introduced a new series of embedded computers with tough functionality and cutting-edge processing capability. Because of its capacity to integrate different medical equipment, the Lenovo ThinkEdge S50 enabled deployment in the healthcare business. As a result, such variables have a beneficial impact on the industries and accelerate expansion in this market.
