NEWS ertiv , a global provider of
V critical digital infrastructure and continuity solutions , has
been ranked by technology analyst firm , Omdia , as one of the leading suppliers in the prefabricated modular ( PFM ) data centre market with the second highest market share worldwide . The newly released research has highlighted that benefits such as the ability to scale with confidence are driving significant growth in the adoption of PFM solutions in all geographies .
The Omdia report , Prefabricated Modular Data Centres , published in early 2020
and based on 2018 and 2019 data , valued PFM shipments at more than US $ 1.2 billion in 2018 with growth in deployments set to increase by more than 65 % for 2019 . The analyst group attributed this strong growth to a number of factors including scalability , the benefits of offsite manufacturing and integration and speed of deployment .
Lucas Beran , Principal Analyst for Omdia ’ s cloud and data centre research practice and the report ’ s author , identified speed of deployment as the primary driver for many owners and operators . “ The rapid growth of data and insatiable demand for compute is driving the rapid growth of data centres . Given that a traditional data centre takes 18 – 24 months to deploy , a quicker solution is often needed ,” he said . “ On average , suppliers of prefabricated modular data centres can deliver a solution in four to six months .”
