Definitions

Collocation:

Services that involve renting out rack space to take care of IT systems of user companies. System/application establishment, operations, and management are carried out within the scope of users’ responsibility and data center SPs provide physical environment management and simple operation services (rebooting, light-emitting diode [LED] monitoring).

Hosting:

Data center SPs provide infrastructure such as specific applications, OS, and middleware as well as operation management services by using their own IT systems. Hosting can be classified into the following subcategories based on service type:

Shared hosting: Standardized applications are provided to several users through a specific server system. Examples include basic Internet services such as email, Web, and domain naming system (DNS).

Exclusive hosting: An exclusive server system that is not shared with ordinary users is provided to a specific user. Generally, data center SPs establish OS or middleware and provide operation, management, and updating services on the same level.

IT services:

These include IT consulting, SI, operation management, maintenance, and help desk services based on data center facilities. In the data center services market, these services are provided together with collocation and exclusive hosting.

Overview of sales model

All three main data center services, collocation, hosting and IT services, require a different approach to sell and also have different challenges, with customers asking for more of managed services

Increased traction for revenue sharing model, resultant of cost reduction need of slowdown

Generally there are three different types of skills set of people selling these services, though the boundaries are getting blurred

Layer 1: Their focus is on selling hosting services. Their prime aim is to get the customer to the data center

Layer 2: They sell collocation services. Their prime aim is to populate the rack space in the data center

Layer 3: They are responsible for selling managed IT services/value-added services, over and above plain collocation and hosting. They specialize in selling only managed services and are not responsible for populating the data center

Page 36: Data center opportunities in india 2009 final v13

Selling of Services

Selling of hosting services

Primarily sold as Web hosting

Focus is however shifting towards industries like hospitality, content, telecom and gaming to manage the hosted environment. Traction witnessed from sectors high on increasing the customer base like insurance

Selling of collocation services

Most basic level of data center service sold

Sold as real estate (factors of 'U' or on square feet basis)

With outsourcing coming into foray with the slowdown, a shift is witnessed from collocation to managed services

Selling of managed services

Highest level of service in the value chain, and also the toughest to sell

A combination of IT and telecom skills required and is a SLA/resource-driven model

Engagement depends on infrastructure to be managed, skill sets required, availability of systems, applications assured and number of resources to be deployed

High focus on virtualized and cloud services for non-core applications

Pricing of Collocation

Most collocation centers offer different types of services to customers ranging from dedicated suites/rooms (cage racks) or to smaller racks or partial racks

COLO is sold by Area (cage rack facilities) Complete racks Multiples of ‘U’s

Bandwidth is sold as Data transfer mode, losing ground Capped bandwidth mode, gaining traction Burstable bandwidth mode

Line items Rack space (Sq ft or Units) Bandwidth Power/cooling Manpower

Apart from the normal shift in the market digressing from collocation services, no major shift in the pricing is being witnessed in the components, apart from the emergence of pay-per-use model

Page 40: Data center opportunities in india 2009 final v13

© 2009 IDC 40

Pricing strategy for collocation

The burstable bandwidth is charged at a higher rate (by 10-15%) than the normal bandwidth

Standard power bundled with a rack has increased from 3 KVA to 4.5-6 KVA

Rack cost higher than the standard; and bandwidth is charged over and above the cost of rack prices

The contracts are typically for three to five years with extremes going upto ten to twelve years; and there is an increasing trend towards annual renewals

Pricing key take aways

Market has witnessed increase in power, cooling and rack prices while the bandwidth charges have gone down as compared to two years back

Prices are based on a per rack basis and range from US$ 15,225 to US$ 18,400 based on standard requirements. They may vary based on power and network switch configurations. Increasing rack prices are becoming a roadblock in the cost reduction / optimization objective of third party data centers

On an average, organizations are paying US$ 135,000 per annum to third party data center service providers

Extra power requirements are charged US $ 2,350 to US $ 2,650 per KVA. The standard power bundled with one rack is 4.5-6 KVA

Pricing for MS varies according to the type of service offered, with basic services bundled in the standard agreement

Vendors offer burstable bandwidth option with extra charge per MB per month, would be key profitable area in future with data transfer mode getting lesser preference

Volume discounts in cases of larger deals range anywhere from 10-20%, with industries like telecom having higher margins and ones like BFSI having lower margins

Competition is setting big time in third party data center space making players to go for high discounting

Services offered and trends

Managed Services: With rising complexities in IT infrastructures and applications the in-house management is becoming increasing difficult, providing opportunities around managed services especially in storage, servers and applications

Disaster recovery: BC/DR services are gaining more attention in today's scenario. With business continuity becoming more important for continuous business operations, companies are now increasingly showing their interests in services like BC/DR. The same is being looked upon as a big opportunity by the data center service providers with more and more emphasis on uptime commitment

Security services: In the present environment, where newer and more complex security threats are emerging, the resources required to manage multiple-point products are becoming a concern for an enterprise's IT department. With security becoming the top priority among Indian vendors, data center vendors are today offering these services as managed security services over the network up to the desktop level. A key point to note is that security is no longer a differential and is in-built into the offerings

Storage services: Storage on tap, periodic backup and data archival are the leading storage solutions today. Some industries like banking and telecom have regulatory compliance issues for the same. Hence, outsourcing them with stringent service level agreements is high in India

Page 45: Data center opportunities in india 2009 final v13

Services offered and trends

Collocation: It is no more a plain collocation. The trend is moving towards more value-attached services along with collocation. These can be security services, network services, infrastructure management services, disaster recovery services etc. Though even today collocation is a major contributor to the total data center revenue, there is a clear movement towards managed services, with collocation offering lesser revenues as compared to hosting and managed services

Virtualization: Organizations today are moving more and more towards virtual platform. With cost reduction and optimization in the background, there is an increased traction for consolidation and virtualization

Cloud: Another key area witnessing traction is the cloud services. With increase in security and confidence, organizations are making a movement towards cloud where everything ranging from infrastructure to applications is being offered as a service coupled with pay-per-use model, where they need to pay only for what they consume and not for a fixed cap

Green: Another big wave sweeping the Indian data center market is the green. With increased emphasis on power & cooling and rising power prices (increase of Re 1 per unit from two years ago), the stress today is more on building energy efficient equipments and data centers. The same is also not only guided by the regulatory bodies but is also seen as a marketing tool in attracting the customers

Rack Dimensions

One rack unit is commonly designated as "1U", "1RU". Two rack units are "2U" and so on

The size of a piece of rack-mounted equipment is usually described as a number in "U

A rack unit is 1.75 inches in height (44.45 mm)

A full rack can contain 42 U. However, 38 to 39 U can be occupied

The rack's mounting fixture consists of two parallel metal strips standing vertically. Each strip is 0.625 inches (15.875 mm) wide, and is separated by a gap of 17.75 inches (450.85 mm), giving an overall rack width of 19 inches (482.6 mm). The strips have holes in them at regular intervals, with both strips matching, so that each hole is part of a horizontal pair with a center-to-center distance of 18.3 inches (464.82 mm)

Most common rack sizes prevalent in third party data centers are 600x800 & 600x1000 (in mm)

Burstable Bandwidth

Burstable bandwidth is defined as bandwidth-on-demand that can be provided to a customer. With increased demand for pay-per-use services, the concept of burstable bandwidth is going to gain prominence in the next 1-2 years

While not all enterprises need it, some online companies like news sites, stock market sites, share trading sites etc, who are heavily dependent on bandwidth, need this service. As the nature of traffic is unpredictable over 24 hours a day or 30 days in the month, they often want the data center provider to give them a committed bandwidth that can be increased for example by 50% more

This is popular as a service in the global market with normal charges for the same. However in India, charges for burstable bandwidth are 10-15% more than the charge per unit for committed bandwidth

Power & Cooling Trends

Power per rack have increased from 3KVA/rack to around 5 or 6KVA which is further high like 9 to 10KVA in some cases

The demand from high performance servers and storage is further driving the energy cost up

Companies are moving towards green which is helping them to reduce their power cost by 15 to 20%

With blade servers gaining popularity, these servers consume less space but they also consume 2 to 3 times the amount of power compared to traditional servers

Duse to consolidation of servers the heat generation & power consumption at a centralised location have increased

With APDRP coming into foray, the power situation is expected to improve around 2012

Financing have become an important tool to give the green technology market the much desired momentum. Many vendors are offering finance options along with their offerings
