The mobile/micro data centers enable consolidation of maintaining, monitoring and storing data. These data centers are compatible with the existing platforms and operating systems, this reduces the time and cost to develop new platforms for micro data centers. Micro data centers primarily deploy high speed connectivity and user-server configuration. This helps the datacenter providers to fulfill the service level agreement with their clients. Additionally, these data centers are as reliable as the traditional data centers due to presence of continuous power supply, desired cooling, safe wiring and high precision environmental monitoring systems. As a result, these data centers provide site continuity, performance continuity and business continuity. Moreover, these data centers reduce the cost of purchasing or leasing a building to deploy the data center. These micro data centers offer a contingency backup for the primary data center as a result, this increases the demand for a cost effective secondary data storage solution.
There are various standards and guidelines for micro data centers developed by American National Standards Institute (ANSI), Telecommunication Industry Association (TIA), National Electric Manufacturers Association (NEMA), Canadian Standards Association (CSA) and Underwriters Laboratory (UL) .The rapid growth in cloud based services across the IT industry and the rising adoption of wireless connectivity are the major driver for mobile/micro data center market. Furthermore, the low capital expenditure, features such as scalability and portability, and energy efficient solutions encourages the organizations to use micro data centers. Further, innovative designs and fast deployment of such data centers are the potential opportunities for the growth of this market. However, the lack of awareness about these data centers is hindering the growth of this market.
