Product Overview

Rugged servers are the servers designed specifically to function safely in harsh environments and conditions such as severe temperatures, high vibrations, damp or dusty conditions. Rugged servers are manufactured with advanced components such as a hard drive, motherboard, central processing unit (CPU), random access memory (RAM), and ports that can endure harsh conditions. Rugged servers are designed to process requests and deliver real-time data between client devices to increase the efficiency and productivity of industrial operations. Rugged servers must follow relevant standards including the MIL-STD and IP ratings and should withstand climate conditions. Rugged servers are mainly used for transferring data among devices in industries that are operating in challenging environments such as military & aerospace, marine, and power.

Global Rugged Server Market: Segments

Hardware segment to grow with the highest CAGR during 2020-30

Global Rugged Server Market is segmented by Offerings into Hardware, Software & Services. The hardware segment held the largest market share of XX.X% in the year 2019. Hardware devices are core components of rugged server systems from which information is accessed and transmitted on a timely basis to client devices, such as computers. Motherboards, power supply, USB connector assembly, CPUs, and hard disk drives are predominantly hardware components provided by rugged server providers. These hardware devices aid in obtaining data and provides an efficient transfer to clients.

Dedicated segment to grow with the highest CAGR during 2020-30

Global Rugged Server Market is divided by Type into Dedicated and Standard. The dedicated segment held the largest market share of XX.X% in the year 2019 and will continue to dominate the market in the coming years. Since rugged servers are mainly utilized in mission-critical applications, military and aerospace, and industries operating in challenging environments. All these industries functions under harsh conditions, temperatures, and vibrations, thereby transfer and access of data becomes challenging. Dedicated rugged servers are ideal for such conditions and are manufactured according to the special requirements linked to these applications.

Market Dynamics

Drivers

High adoption of cloud-based applications

Growing adoption of cloud-based applications is the significant factor driving the growth of the rugged servers’ market.  With the increasing disruption of cloud storage in the global data storage market, several cloud service providers around the world are delivering centralized computation through a data center. The mounting adoption of cloud-based applications has resulted in the construction of various data centers across developing and advanced economies which are projected to stimulate market growth. In addition, the increased emphasis on data center construction from the military segment is also expected to boost demand for rugged servers in the coming years.

Stringent regulatory standards across different sectors

Various industries including military, aerospace, marine, and power are employing rugged servers to increase plant efficiency and comply with stringent product quality and safety regulations. Rugged servers are compatible with process management across different manufacturing sectors, thus helping to balance product costs and quality and certify compliance with regulatory requirements. Some processes are necessary to operate at extreme pressures or temperatures in process industries, such as food & beverages and pharmaceuticals. Though in such extreme conditions, traditional servers cannot function effectively in manufacturing systems, and it would be difficult for humans to work under these circumstances as well. Therefore, to ensure security and safety, rugged servers are utilized in these industries which are anticipated to fuel the growth of the rugged servers’ market.

Restraint

Privacy and security problems of data

In the overall activity of any organization, the protection and security of data play a crucial role. With the growing digitalization, security has become a major issue for many industries. As rugged servers are designed to function in harsh environments and are mainly deployed in remote places, automated safety mechanisms are needed to counteract the threat of malfunction, theft, malicious attacks, and accidents. Like any other device, rugged servers are not entirely resistant to incidents such as hacking and virus attacks, which primarily result in the loss and misuse of valuable data and adversely affect industrial operations by undermining the overall security process.
