According to a recently published study by ReportLinker, the global market for Data Center Blade Servers, which was estimated at $15.2 Billion (USD) in 2020, is projected to reach $24.1 Billion by 2026. That’s a CAGR of 7.9% over the study’s period.
What is a blade server and why is it projected to grow so fast?
For those unfamiliar, a blade server is a modular server that allows multiple servers to be housed within a compact space. Within data centers, they are used to optimize physical space as well as power.
The increased need for connectivity and storage space, as enterprises and businesses expand operations around the world, is necessitating greater accessibility to networks as a means for providing efficient services to their clients.
Enterprises are becoming increasingly focused on data center infrastructure
As the number of businesses and enterprises offering cloud services continues to grow around the world, investments into data center infrastructure are quickly gaining prominence.
There’s been particular focus on hyperscale data centers, which rely heavily on blade servers for the purpose of improving operational efficiency and reducing overall costs. Owing to the growing size of big data, the adoption rate of collocation solutions is on the rise, too.
