Industrial Automation in Data Centers Experiences Strong Growth on Migration to Cloud
According to ARC research, the market for industrial automation in data centers will experience strong growth over the next five years based on increasing demand for cloud-based solutions. Data centers employ control and monitoring equipment for functions such as HVAC, building security, and cooling systems. It is essentially a building and not a production line, as such, a data center has traditionally been the domain of building control suppliers. However, this is changing. Data centers today are viewed more and more as mission-critical applications, and this is driving end user requirements for reliability and equipment availability to levels typically found in critical applications in the process industries.
Industrial Automation in Data Centers Market Strategies
In addition to providing a five-year market forecast, the industrial automation in data centers market research provides detailed quantitative current market data and discusses key strategies for machine builders, end users, and product suppliers.
Embrace Digitalization
Global megatrends are rapidly transforming the industrial operations of end users. Suppliers must now embrace smart technologies and have deep application knowledge to offer valued solutions to end users. To this end, digitalization presents a huge opportunity for end users and suppliers. Digital transformation is picking up speed and is a catalyst for long-term competitive advantages for end users. Most of all, digitalization helps create a path for the transition toward more connected and smarter systems to enhance the overall process efficiency.
Digitalization offers numerous benefits to industrial operations. For example, digitalizing the assets and using a cloud-based architecture with predictive analytics enable end users to monitor the health and performance of assets, allowing them to predict equipment failures before they happen and minimizing unnecessary shutdowns that can cost millions of dollars. End user companies can make a significant improvement in their operating performance, enabling them to succeed in today’s highly competitive market by embracing such technologies. Therefore, it is vital to seek suppliers that can become effective partners in this journey of digitalization.
Emphasize Built-in Cybersecurity
ARC developed the Industrial Cybersecurity Maturity Model to help industrial managers understand their cybersecurity challenges without having to become cybersecurity experts. The model enables managers to balance cybersecurity investments with their willingness to accept cyber risks and the cost benefits of additional security layers.
ARC’s model breaks cybersecurity into a set of steps that incrementally reduce cyber risks. Each step addresses a specific, easily understandable security issue such as securing individual devices, defending plants from external attacks, containing malware that may still get into a control system, monitoring systems for suspicious activity, and actively managing sophisticated threats and cyber incidents. Each step has an associated set of actions and technologies that can be used to accomplish its goals. The model also shows the human resources and tools required to sustain and utilize technology investments effectively.
Suppliers Need Relevant Experience
Data center solutions are new terrain for automation suppliers. When evaluating solutions, it is beneficial to look at requirements in other industries and see how suppliers deal with specific technologies including redundancy, cybersecurity, functional safety, and industrial communications.
