Hyderabad: The Indian IT infrastructure market will reach $2.05 billion in 2012, showing a growth of 10.3 per cent over the last year's figure.
This market, comprising servers, storage and networking equipment, will touch the $3-b mark by 2016, research firm Gartner says.
Revenue growth will be primarily driven by ongoing data centre modernisation, as well as new data centre build outs. Servers are the largest segments of the Indian IT infrastructure market, as revenue are forecast to reach $754.5 million in 2012, and grow to $967.2 million in 2016.
The external storage disk is the fastest growing segment within the IT infrastructure market. The enterprise network equipment market in India, which includes enterprise LAN and WAN equipment, is expected to grow from $861 million in 2012 to $1.2 billion in 2016.
Gartner has come out with this outlook for IT infrastructure market to mark the Gartner Infrastructure, Operations and Data Centre Summit scheduled to be held in Mumbai on Tuesday.
“The key growth driver for the data centre market is the ongoing investment in large captive data centres coupled with the capacity growth witnessed within the data centre service provider space,” Mr Aman Munglani, Research Director at Gartner, said.
Indian organisations are heavily focusing on optimising their infrastructure capacity by implementing virtualisation and incorporating newer ways of data centre design, he said.
Cloud adoption
Though India is in the early stages of cloud adoption, cloud service providers will also be a key contributor to the infrastructure consumption, especially for commodity type, scalable technologies, such as scale out systems and extreme low energy servers.
Indian IT organisations are making a big shift from a distributed IT setup to a more manageable and efficient centralised model, leading to consolidation of branch and remote IT resources into fewer, but larger data centres, Mr Naresh Singh, principal research analyst with Gartner, said.
