“Schneider Electric is able to be the ideal solution for this infrastructure deployment with our Modular (or Prefabricated) Datacenter solutions, designed to meet the growth of data, connected devices, increased traffic to the data center and the integration of new technologies that allow real-time and efficient processing, based on modules”
Sales manager for EcoStruxure Modular Data Centers and Prefabricated Data Centers at Schneider Electric, says Martin M. Jiménez, commenting on prefabricated and modular data centers.
A study conducted in the Caribbean region by IDC, a leading provider of global IT research and advice, and sponsored by Schneider Electric, points to prefabricated and modular data centers as the answer to the great challenges that IT strategists face in the accelerating innovation and demand for data and services in ever-expanding ecosystems.
Published on June 28, 2022, this a recent study carried out in the region, proves how the digital disruption due to the adoption of the cloud, big data, analytics, the Internet of Things, mobility and social networks demands a rethinking of the way in which companies should design and build the data centers that support these technologies. From this study, the following insights were revealed for the Caribbean region:
- Enterprise IT investment (excluding devices) reached a total of US $709 million in 2021 and this investment is expected to grow 9% in 2022.
- The volume of data in Latin America is estimated to triple, from 3.1 zettabytes to 9.5 zettabytes between the years 2020 to 2025. This represents a compound annual growth rate of 24.7% in that period, above the global average (22.9 %), a trend that will also be reflected in the Caribbean.
This will necessitate the requirement of an agile, scalable and flexible infrastructure, even in limited spaces, according to the need for data processing and storage of a business. This places prefabricated and modular data centers in a privileged place thanks to their multiple advantages: capacity to reduce planning, construction and implementation times and to scale according to the needs of the organization while keeping an eye on sustainability in terms of costs, power, cooling and resources for infrastructure management and control.
IaaS – Clouds, Networks and Data Centers growing strong in 2025
In its report, the leading IT consulting and market research firm highlights that in the Caribbean region, business IT investment (excluding devices) reached a total of US$709 million in 2021 and this investment is expected to grow 9% in 2022.
This growth will accelerate in the future hand in hand with the digital transformation process of the organizations located there, so that investment in business IT will have an average annual growth of 12.5% between 2021 and 2025.
Regarding hardware, the growth of IaaS stands out, which in 2021 already represented 31% of IT investment. Between 2021 and 2025, that same investment in the Caribbean will grow at a CAGR of 45%.
By 2025, IaaS will account for 41% of hardware investment. Not only this, IDC also estimates that by the end of this year, 75% of enterprises globally will implement a unified management system for their clouds, networks, and data centers to deflect business resiliency threats away from infrastructure costs and operational complexity.
This shows us that the architecture of the digital infrastructure must be transformed from silos to flexible resources that allow the implementation of ubiquity, autonomy of operations and a workload-centric approach.
In a digital infrastructure ecosystem that is emerging and increasingly built on the foundation of the cloud using cloud-native technologies, seeking to ensure faster delivery of innovative infrastructure hardware and software, there is a need for resource abstraction and process technologies to support the ongoing development and refinement of digital services and digital experiences that are both sustainable and resilient.
EDGE Computing – Latin America Data usage to triple by 2025
This can be reflected in the adoption of Edge Computing, which can serve as a complement to the cloud in order to bring computing closer to the place where things happen and data is produced. This helps to reduce latency in a more cost-effective way as explained in Schneider Electric launches EDGE Computing in Jamaica to make IOT a Reality.
In Latin America, even though this technology is still in the deployment stage, it is estimated that 70% of the investment in Edge Computing is allocated to hardware and connectivity.
In the Caribbean, this investment will have more emphasis on hardware, since, in this region in particular, the disparity in terms of connectivity, energy and its geographical peculiarities imply more challenges for the presence of data centers, making Edge Computing charge more sense, especially for Healthcare IT Solutions as predicted in Schneider Electric Healthcare IT Solutions – EDGE, AI , IoT with UPS backup for Servers.
IT infrastructure strategists must consider this trend in more dispersed data and devices, especially when it is estimated that, from 2020 to 2025, the volume of data in Latin America will triple, from 3.1 zettabytes to 9.5 zettabytes, which represents a compound annual growth rate of 24.7% in that period, above the global average (22.9%), a trend that will also be reflected in the Caribbean.
