Latin America Data Center Market Segmentation
This research report includes a detailed segmentation by IT infrastructure, electrical infrastructure, mechanical infrastructure, general construction, tier standards, and geography.
IT spending in Latin America is growing significantly YOY. The growth is majorly driven by enterprises shifting from on-premise IT infrastructure to colocation. Enterprises are more concerned about the availability of support services such as reliable power, cooling system efficiency, high-speed connectivity, and security. These concerns are driving enterprises to adopt colocation and cloud-based services. The server market is expected to grow during the forecast period due to the increasing investment from cloud providers such as AWS, Google.
All-flash-arrays are expected to be replace traditional storage drives as a primary source of storage in the Latin America region data center during the forecast period. The increase in usage of internet, smartphone adoption, IoT, and big data analytics has raised the demand for IT infrastructure in the region. The number of application workloads instances in the cloud, as well as on-premise, will grow by 2.5X by 2025.
The incorporation of 5G and improvement towards fixed broadband connectivity will fuel the demand for HPC infrastructure by 2025. While the use of HDD-based arrays is present in several data centers, the demand is declining YoY and is getting replaced by fast, reliable, and non-volatile storage solutions. The adoption of NVMe SSDs will gain traction in leading markets such as Brazil, Chile, and Colombia.
The Latin America data center market has a strong potential for UPS systems due to the increasing greenfield facility developments, especially greater than 10 MW. Several facilities are being developed based on Tier III standards for design and operations with a minimum of N+1 redundancy on UPS systems. The emergence of lithium-ion battery systems is expected to influence market growth.
The adoption of generators of capacity over 2 MW is growing in Latin America. The service providers in Latin American countries continue to invest more in N+N redundant generators rather than N+1 or 2N for power distribution and UPS systems. The market for transfer switches and switchgear is expected to grow due to the increased data center construction. However, the use of switches will vary significantly based on capacity supported, cost, mean time between failures (MTF), switching time, and design. With the increased construction of data centers typically of more than 5 MW capacity, the market for medium-voltage switchgears is expected to grow significantly.
Several facilities in Brazil are commonly utilizing water-based cooling systems. Some parts of Brazil also offer the climatic benefit of adopting free cooling and air-based cooling techniques. The large data center development in Brazil during the forecast period is expected to adopt systems that support free cooling.
In Chile, most facilities use chilled water systems with CRAH units, free cooling units with CRAC units, or free cooling chillers. The increasing adoption of free cooling i Chile is likely to reduce cooling energy consumption by up to 30% during the forecast period. Also, the growing construction of modular and colocation facilities in Chile is projected to fuel the demand for mechanical infrastructure in the region.
Many facilities in Colombia are equipped with a minimum cooling redundancy of N+1 configuration. The growth of rack power density will prompt providers to adopt innovative cooling solutions such as evaporative coolers to facilitate free cooling solutions. The use of water-based cooling solutions will dominate other Latin American markets, including Peru, Argentina, Uruguay, Mexico, and the Caribbean.
Most data center development in Brazil during the forecast period is expected to be greenfield. The market has a strong potential for growth for modular projects. In Chile, a majority of the construction contractors are generally involved in the development of greenfield and modular facilities. With the market operating data centers of IBM and Google, the country is likely to witness the opening of a few additional Tier IV facilities with high operational sustainability. The data center construction market in Colombia involves the adoption of greenfield developments and modular facilities. Greenfield developments are carried out by colocation and telecommunication service providers.
Tier I data centers exist in the North American region. According to the Uptime Institute, there are around two facilities in Latin America that are Tier II certified based on designing and construction. In these facilities, redundancy is recognized between UPS and PDU systems. Other infrastructures are identified to be working through the single delivery path with no redundancy in most cases; this includes piping of data center cooling systems. However, with the increased awareness of redundant infrastructure, the number of Tier I facilities in Latin America have decreased considerably in the last five years.
Tier IV data centers facilities are in Brazil, Colombia, Chile, Mexico, Uruguay, and Ecuador in Latin America. Tier IV facilities are equipped with at least 2N+1 redundancy in every infrastructure that makes the facility fault-tolerant, with some facilities having 2N+2 redundancy in few critical infrastructures such as UPS systems and PDUs. The contribution of hyperscale developers such as Google and AWS is aimed at making a facility that is fully fault-tolerant to provide customers with satisfaction while connecting with cloud-based services in a region.
Insights by Geography
Brazil is the leading country with the highest number of facilities. With the increasing internet penetration, the use of cloud-based services by businesses is growing. In Brazil, there were about 13 new facilities opened or under-construction projects and are likely to be operational by 2019. Cloud service providers such as Alibaba is also planning to launch its cloud computing service in Brazil. Alibaba has identified a local partner known as UOL Diveo that will resell its cloud services in Brazil. In Brazil, Sao Paulo is the state with the majority of investment from Ascenty, Equinix, UOL DIVEO. Rio de Janeiro is also preferred by colocation service providers such as Ascenty and Centurylink.
Chile has been witnessing growth in data centers development in recent years due to the demand for cloud-based services, the internet of things (IoT), and big data analytics the increasing submarine cable deployments in Chile, the data center construction market is growing rapidly. For instance, Huawei is expected to build a 2,800-kilometer subsea cable project in Chile in partnership with Communications and Rural Telephony (CTR). Colocation and telecommunication service providers are the major contributor to the Chile market. Ascenty is one of the leading operators in Latin America and is investing in its first facility in Chile. Ascenty is expected to expand its presence in the country with Google boosting the market growth through additional investments.
