Mumbai: The Indian IT infrastructure market — comprising server, storage and networking equipment — is set to grow by four per cent this year to touch $1.9 billion, research firm Gartner has indicated.
“In the global landscape, India is a promising IT infrastructure market through 2017…The global IT infrastructure investment is expected to be almost flat in 2014 and will be primarily driven by hyper scale and data centre modernisation initiatives,” said Mike Harris, research group vice-president at Gartner.
Naveen Mishra, research director at Gartner, said that India’s IT infrastructure market will touch $2.35 billion by 2017. “After sluggish market conditions in 2013, the Indian infrastructure market will witness investments primarily fuelled by key IT initiatives that include mobility, cloud and big data,” said Mishra.
The research firm indicates that Indian enterprises will be focusing on building intelligent data centres that focus on optimising existing hardware assets by using additional software capabilities. Separately, Gartner said that competition for talent would determine the success of digital business.
“Bring in people from outside with the required knowledge, skills and competencies — some as external experts, not necessarily as permanent employees. Chief Information Officers who learn to orchestrate talent can take advantage of global ecosystems of expertise to build digital expertise quickly,” said Partha Iyengar, vice-president and distinguished analyst at Gartner.
