As big data continues to accumulate, more businesses look to leverage analytic tools and data center services in order to assist in the management of fast-growing, valuable information. As far as big data goes, its effectiveness is only as good as that of its support system, and more companies are turning to hosted solutions to better store, share and secure their data. According to a recent report from Research and Markets, this strong need for data center services is fostering sustained market growth over the next several years. The report specifically projected that the North American market for data center solutions will expand at a 13.36 compound annual growth rate between 2012 and 2016.
