Global data center cooling market seen soaring past $44B by 2027
BIS Research, the global leader in providing market intelligence on deep technologies, has released its latest study, entitled, Data Center Cooling Market – A Global and Regional Analysis.
According to this study, the global data center cooling market was valued at $17.82 billion in 2021 — and is projected to balloon to $44.52 billion by 2027.
As noted by Debraj Chakraborty, principal analyst with BIS Research: “With the emerging data center cooling technologies, there are opportunities to emphasize retrofitting data centers. Data center infrastructure management (DCIM) can be facilitated with the help of better and more efficient cooling techniques. Moreover, innovative data center cooling systems will augment the number of edge data centers.”

Do Not Strip the Cladding When Stripping Fibers
When the Fiber Optic Association (FOA) began online certification testing, the results showed an unusual area of confusion. 25% of the test-takers missed the answer to what should have been a simple question: “What do you strip when you strip fiber for splicing or termination?” Instead of answering “the buffer coating,” a quarter of students answered that you strip the cladding. Even some instructors on their instructor certification exams answered that question incorrectly.
How do 5G and edge computing benefit warehouse automation?
According to research studies, the warehouse automation market is forecast to reach $ 27 billion by 2025. 5G and edge computing is driving down the cost for autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) because compute is more available closer to the source of the data being generated by the AMRs.
Demand for edge computing is taking longer than expected to develop
Two giant US technology companies – data center operator Equinix and 5G provider Verizon – have reported slower-than-expected demand for edge services. The challenge on moving deeper into the edge is not a technology issue, but rather an ecosystem one in which developers have not been able to create economic models around new use cases that require those types of low latencies.Two giant US technology companies – data center operator Equinix and 5G provider Verizon – have reported slower-than-expected demand for edge services.
