Data Centres
LEFT: Welcome to the new world of instant data centres, which can be pre-built, delivered within days and installed in a couple of hours.
Asia Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing region in the forecast period.
Technology is driving this market with the fo- cus on providing more cooling in less space.
The increasing demand for cloud services applications in several industries such as man- ufacturing, education, finance, automotive is expected to propel the growth of the micro mo- bile data centre market in the coming years.

Businesses may do a wide range of tasks on the cloud, with providers such as AWS, Az- ure, Google Cloud, and others offering a wide range of services to their customers.
A cloud data service is a virtualized data cen- tre. To protect user data during outages and other problems, the cloud provider does regular maintenance and updates, frequently owning numerous micro data centres in multiple geo- graphic regions.
The countries covered in the Researchand- Markets.com report are Australia, Brazil, China, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Japan, Rus- sia, South Korea, UK, USA.
growing DCIM seg- ment, complement its differentiated Automat- ed Logic Controls business to create integrated customer solutions, and help fulfill its strategic focus on sustainable and intelligent solutions
through increased recurring revenues. Carrier’s HVAC president, Chris Nelson, said Nlyte’s software and services, along with the expertise of its team, will enable Carrier to further develop its data centre capabilities and bring enhanced services and solutions to
Carrier’s broad, global customer base.
“This is an excellent strategic fit and enables us to provide customers a premier offering of data centre controls and infrastructure power
management,” he said.
Nyte CEO, Doug Sabella, said the ttransac-
tion also strengthens and expands its data cen- tre offerings.
“As a leader in the DCIM market, we will be able to offer new solutions and value-added customer services for HVAC equipment, build- ing automation, controls, security and fire sys- tems. With Carrier’s global footprint, Nlyte will be able to reach new segments and geogra- phies,” Sabella said.
Nlyte helps customers manage their IT infra- structure and drives digital transformation of data centres. Its DCIM software provides central- ised management of all data centre resources,
which helps organisations plan, view and opti- mise their data centres for maximum energy effi- ciency and transparency.
Sabella said these outcomes have helped Nlyte enjoy a 98 per cent customer retention rate.
Nlyte will become part of Automated Logic Cor- poration (ALC), Carrier’s building automation and controls business within Carrier’s HVAC segment.
Combining ALC WebCtrl building automa- tion and Nlyte DCIM systems will provide data centre customers a complete intelligent solution to further improve operational efficiencies, Car- rier said in a statement.
Carrier expects to close its acquisition of Nlyte in the fourth quarter of 2021 subject to custom- ary closing conditions. The terms of the transac- tion were not disclosed.

IP PLEDGE
JP Morgan Chase & Co will allow other organisations to use its intellectual property in a bid to speed up the transition to low-carbon technology and energy sources.
The bank is making several key patents related to how it efficiently cools and ventilates its massive data centres.
According to Reuters the bank will make this available to anyone using low carbon technologies as part of a joint pledge initiated by Microsoft, Facebook and Hewlett Packard.
Launched in April this year, companies have shared more than 450 patents as part of the pledge, shining a light on the technology these companies are using to mitigate their carbon footprints.
