This will involve intense use of IT equipment in data centers, thereby boosting the requirement of racks to mount said equipment.”

According to the report, rapid decline in rack prices is one of the major drivers that fosters growth in this market. Some vendors offer customizable racks for end-users that are priced based on requirements. Reliability, flexibility, and advanced features are some factors that will influence end-user choices.
