Overview
In the present era of globalization, organisations are using data centres that can virtualize application workloads. Almost 50% of the data centres now are shifting to public clouds for their growing data storage need. Moreover, traditional servers are connected over a network architecture which is complex to scale and manage. Due to this, data centres are deploying technologies such as virtualization, social media, and big data.
Web Scale IT denotes a global infrastructure of computing architecture which yields all the benefits which are given by the large cloud service providers within an enterprise IT. Web Scale IT comprises a set of technologies for the entire IT system. It enables organization to have increased agility, scalability and improved capabilities.
The highly virtualized data centre requires a high-performance infrastructure which can scale up in response to increasing demand and keep the costs low at the same time. Thus, the system requires a dynamic data centre – Web Scale IT – that will deliver cloud capabilities for the large providers in the enterprises.
Market Analysis
The Web-Scale IT market is expected to witness a CAGR of 21.1% during the forecast period 2016–2022.
