[185 Pages Report] The Data Center Accelerator Market size was estimated at USD 31.68 billion in 2023 and expected to reach USD 37.21 billion in 2024, at a CAGR 18.02% to reach USD 101.04 billion by 2030.
Data center accelerators are a category of hardware devices or software mechanisms designed to improve the performance and efficiency of a data center’s computational processes. Integrating accelerators into a data center infrastructure allows organizations to enhance overall performance, reduce processing time for specific tasks, and lower the energy consumption per workload, leading to operational and cost savings. As businesses continue to rely on data centers for critical operations, the demand for these accelerators is expected to grow. One of the primary drivers is the escalating demand for artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) across various industries. These technologies require substantial computing power, which accelerators provide. Additionally, the increasing volume of complex data sets necessitates the use of accelerators to facilitate rapid analysis and insights derivation. However, technical limitations of using data center accelerators and issues related to data privacy and loss of data security raise concerns regarding the safety, accuracy, and reliability of data center accelerators. Major players are exploring integrating novel technological innovations to tackle challenges related to data privacy and ensure compliance with data protection regulations. Furthermore, investments in establishing edge and hyper-scale data centers worldwide provide new avenues of growth for the data center accelerators.
Data Center Type: Adoption of accelerators in cloud data centers to optimize overall operational efficiency
The need for cloud data center accelerators lies in the rising demand for efficient, scalable, and cost-effective services. The massive data streams processed by modern hyperscale data centers led to the adoption of accelerators and enhanced the performance of tasks such as machine learning, data analysis, and critical application processing. Implementing accelerators can lead to higher throughput, low latency, and power efficiency, which makes it possible to process large data sets in shorter time spans. In colocation data centers, where multiple clients share physical infrastructure, performance and scalability considerations are of utmost importance. With the growing complexities of shared environments, data accelerators can offer the benefits of workload-specific performance tuning. Accelerators bring in capabilities to analyze large data sets at a rapid rate, mitigating the risk of data bottlenecks. They enable quick data processing that can lead to improved service levels for multi-tenant environments. In enterprise data centers, data accelerators are leaning towards becoming a necessity due to the increasing influx of data and the rise in sophistication of enterprise applications. Accelerators can support complex computational tasks, boosting data processing and analytics. Handled by third-party companies, managed services data centers face continuous pressure to deliver efficient and seamless services. Client demands range from high-speed data processing to rock-solid security measures. Datacenter accelerators can aid them by providing faster, more efficient processing and potentially reducing the need for larger server fleets. This could both improve performance and reduce operating costs.
Processor Type: Advancements and investments to improve the capacities of central processing unit (CPU)
An application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) is a customized integrated circuit designed for a particular use or application rather than intended for general-purpose use. In data center operations, ASICs are implemented to accelerate specific workloads by optimizing the hardware to perform particular tasks with high efficiency and at high speeds. The central processing unit (CPU) is the crucial element of a computer that performs most of the processing inside a computer. In data centers, CPUs are responsible for executing instructions from computer programs involving arithmetic, logic, control, and input & output functions specified by the instructions. Field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) include semiconductor devices that are built around a matrix of configurable logic blocks (CLBs) connected using programmable interconnections. FPGAs can be reprogrammed to cater to the desired application or functionality requirements after manufacturing. The graphics processing unit (GPU) is a specialized electronic circuit designed to accelerate the generation of images.
Application: Rising need for data center accelerators for enterprise interface to manage and analyze large volumes of data
Deep learning is a subset of machine learning that involves neural networks with multiple layers that simulate the function of the human brain. The sophisticated algorithms, which require significant computational power, are used to train models capable of recognizing complex patterns and making data-driven decisions. Datacenter accelerators reduce training time and improve the efficiency of resource-intensive tasks. The enterprise interface refers to the integration of data center accelerators within a corporate environment to support diverse applications, including data analytics and machine learning. In this setting, the accelerator’s role is to provide the computational power required to rapidly process large volumes of data. Data center accelerators have become a crucial element for public cloud services, driving the performance of virtualized environments where multiple clients access shared physical resources. The public cloud interface leverages accelerators to deliver scalable and cost-efficient computing power to a broader range of users. These accelerators are integrated into the cloud providers’ infrastructure, furnishing clients with the capabilities needed for complex computations, such as real-time data processing and large-scale simulations.
