Market Trends of Mega Data Center Industry
Rising Demand of Data Centers in Banking and Finance Sectors
- The banking and finance sector is one of the largest generators of data, and the need for a data center to regulate the cost of operations is a primary driver. Finance and banking structures use data centers to store customer records, employee management, transactions, and electronic banking services, such as remote banking, telebanking, and self-inquiry, which need data centers to function.
- Data centers, as infrastructure, are believed to be the future of finance. Many institutions have created private cloud systems to accommodate massive network, storage, and server capacities to support their retail financial centers, ATMs, and active online accounts.
- Many banks maintain their own data centers, but it has been observed that the trend is changing due to fluctuations in the banks' profits. Also, maintaining a data center is cumbersome, owing to the cost drain on IT, real estate, and operations, as it requires proper cooling, security, and power facilities. This can act as a challenge for the BFSI industry during the forecast period.
