Global distribution of capital investments across data center value chain segments, 2025-2030, $ (USD) Trillions
Compute and storage hardware segment approximately$4.3 trillion
- Servers, $3.5 trillion
- Storage, $0.8 trillion
Energizers segment approximately $1.3 trillion
- Electrical and mechanical equipment, $0.8 trillion
- Power generation, $0.4 trillion
- Network infrastructure, $0.1 trillion
The average cost of data center downtime can soar as high $9,000 per minute
How automation minimizes the top causes of data center downtime and maximizes efficiency
- Predictive maintenance reduces power equipment failures. AI-driven systems anticipate equipment issues and perform maintenance before failures occur
- Real-time monitoring reduces poor indoor air quality. Continuous tracking of temperature, humidity, and airflow prevents overheating and downtime.
- Energy efficiency reduces server cooling breakdowns. AI-based systems cut data center energy use by as much as 40% through intelligent, real-time control. (Source: Industrial Automation in Data Centers Market Research)
- Security and compliance enhancements reduce cybersecurity incidents. Integrated automation enhances physical security and safeguards critical infrastructure.
