The study involved four major activities in estimating the Data Center Infrastructure Management market. We conducted secondary research to gather information on the market, competitors, and parent market. The next stage was to validate these findings and assumptions and size them with industry professionals across the value chain using primary research. Top-down and bottom-up methodologies were used to determine the total market size. We used the market breakup and data triangulation techniques to estimate the market size of the data center infrastructure management market segments.
Secondary Research
Multiple sources were utilized to find and gather data for this research project in the secondary research phase. Other sources used were annual reports, press releases, investor presentations, white papers, journals, publications, and articles from reputable sources, directories, and databases. Information was also collected from additional secondary sources like academic journals, official government sites, blogs, and online platforms of vendors.
Primary Research
Primary sources included industry experts from the core and associated industries, preferred software suppliers, hardware manufacturers, distributors, service providers, technology developers, alliances, and organizations representing all parts of the industry's value chain. In-depth interviews were conducted with primary respondents, including major industry participants, subject-matter experts, C-level executives of important market companies, and industry consultants, to acquire and verify critical qualitative and quantitative data and analyze the market's potential.
We performed primary interviews to gain insights such as market statistics, the current trends disrupting the industry, new use cases applied, revenue data collected from products and services, market breakdowns, market size projections, market predictions, and data triangulation. Primary research also helped me grasp different technology trends, segmentation types, industry trends, and geographies. Demand-side stakeholders, such as Chief Information Officers (CIOs), Chief Technology Officers (CTOs), and Chief Security Officers (CSOs); installation teams of governments/end users using data center infrastructure management solutions and services; and digital initiatives project teams, were interviewed to understand the buyer's perspective on suppliers, products, service providers, and their current use of services, which will affect the overall data center infrastructure management market.
