Integrated Data Center is Next Frontier for Intelligent Buildings Market
Use of intelligent building solutions and approaches across facility and IT systems is expected to increase
BOULDER, Colo. — By coordinating investment in energy conservation measures, equipment upgrades, and the use of software and services, integrated data center energy management promises to deliver greater energy and operational efficiency improvements to facilities or campuses hosting data centers, says Navigant Research. The integrated data center leverages resources that can meet the needs of both the data center and the larger facility. According to a new report from the research firm, the integrated data center is expected to be the next frontier for the intelligent buildings market.
“Some of today’s key drivers for this market include customer concerns over risk mitigation, cost containment, sustainability, and business unit accountability,” said Casey Talon, senior research analyst with Navigant Research. “An integrated approach to managing on-premise data centers can help intelligent building customers continue to support their core mission of providing effective data centers and efficient, comfortable facilities while saving energy and capital with more sustainable operations.”
