In this talk we will present how Databricks has enabled the author to achieve more with data, enabling one person to build a coherent data project with data engineering, analysis and science components, with better collaboration, better productionalization methods, with larger datasets and faster.
The talk will include a demo that will illustrate how the multiple functionalities of Databricks help to build a coherent data project with Databricks jobs, Delta Lake and auto-loader for data engineering, SQL Analytics for Data Analysis, Spark ML and MLFlow for data science, and Projects for collaboration.
The world of data architecture began with applications. Next came data warehouses. Then text was organized into a data warehouse.
Then one day the world discovered a whole new kind of data that was being generated by organizations. The world found that machines generated data that could be transformed into valuable insights. This was the origin of what is today called the data lakehouse. The evolution of data architecture continues today.
Come listen to industry experts describe this transformation of ordinary data into a data architecture that is invaluable to business. Simply put, organizations that take data architecture seriously are going to be at the forefront of business tomorrow.
This is an educational event.
Several of the authors of the book Building the Data Lakehouse will be presenting at this symposium.
Building Lakehouses on Delta Lake with SQL Analytics PrimerDatabricks
You’ve heard the marketing buzz, maybe you have been to a workshop and worked with some Spark, Delta, SQL, Python, or R, but you still need some help putting all the pieces together? Join us as we review some common techniques to build a lakehouse using Delta Lake, use SQL Analytics to perform exploratory analysis, and build connectivity for BI applications.
Modernizing to a Cloud Data ArchitectureDatabricks
Organizations with on-premises Hadoop infrastructure are bogged down by system complexity, unscalable infrastructure, and the increasing burden on DevOps to manage legacy architectures. Costs and resource utilization continue to go up while innovation has flatlined. In this session, you will learn why, now more than ever, enterprises are looking for cloud alternatives to Hadoop and are migrating off of the architecture in large numbers. You will also learn how elastic compute models’ benefits help one customer scale their analytics and AI workloads and best practices from their experience on a successful migration of their data and workloads to the cloud.
Data Lakehouse, Data Mesh, and Data Fabric (r1)James Serra
So many buzzwords of late: Data Lakehouse, Data Mesh, and Data Fabric. What do all these terms mean and how do they compare to a data warehouse? In this session I’ll cover all of them in detail and compare the pros and cons of each. I’ll include use cases so you can see what approach will work best for your big data needs.
Building Data Quality pipelines with Apache Spark and Delta LakeDatabricks
Technical Leads and Databricks Champions Darren Fuller & Sandy May will give a fast paced view of how they have productionised Data Quality Pipelines across multiple enterprise customers. Their vision to empower business decisions on data remediation actions and self healing of Data Pipelines led them to build a library of Data Quality rule templates and accompanying reporting Data Model and PowerBI reports.
With the drive for more and more intelligence driven from the Lake and less from the Warehouse, also known as the Lakehouse pattern, Data Quality at the Lake layer becomes pivotal. Tools like Delta Lake become building blocks for Data Quality with Schema protection and simple column checking, however, for larger customers they often do not go far enough. Notebooks will be shown in quick fire demos how Spark can be leverage at point of Staging or Curation to apply rules over data.
Expect to see simple rules such as Net sales = Gross sales + Tax, or values existing with in a list. As well as complex rules such as validation of statistical distributions and complex pattern matching. Ending with a quick view into future work in the realm of Data Compliance for PII data with generations of rules using regex patterns and Machine Learning rules based on transfer learning.
Architect’s Open-Source Guide for a Data Mesh ArchitectureDatabricks
Data Mesh is an innovative concept addressing many data challenges from an architectural, cultural, and organizational perspective. But is the world ready to implement Data Mesh?
In this session, we will review the importance of core Data Mesh principles, what they can offer, and when it is a good idea to try a Data Mesh architecture. We will discuss common challenges with implementation of Data Mesh systems and focus on the role of open-source projects for it. Projects like Apache Spark can play a key part in standardized infrastructure platform implementation of Data Mesh. We will examine the landscape of useful data engineering open-source projects to utilize in several areas of a Data Mesh system in practice, along with an architectural example. We will touch on what work (culture, tools, mindset) needs to be done to ensure Data Mesh is more accessible for engineers in the industry.
The audience will leave with a good understanding of the benefits of Data Mesh architecture, common challenges, and the role of Apache Spark and other open-source projects for its implementation in real systems.
This session is targeted for architects, decision-makers, data-engineers, and system designers.
Delta Lake, an open-source innovations which brings new capabilities for transactions, version control and indexing your data lakes. We uncover how Delta Lake benefits and why it matters to you. Through this session, we showcase some of its benefits and how they can improve your modern data engineering pipelines. Delta lake provides snapshot isolation which helps concurrent read/write operations and enables efficient insert, update, deletes, and rollback capabilities. It allows background file optimization through compaction and z-order partitioning achieving better performance improvements. In this presentation, we will learn the Delta Lake benefits and how it solves common data lake challenges, and most importantly new Delta Time Travel capability.

Over the past year, YipitData spearheaded a full migration of its data pipelines to Apache Spark via the Databricks platform. Databricks now empowers its 40+ data analysts to independently create data ingestion systems, manage ETL workflows, and produce meaningful financial research for our clients.
Big data architectures and the data lakeJames Serra
With so many new technologies it can get confusing on the best approach to building a big data architecture. The data lake is a great new concept, usually built in Hadoop, but what exactly is it and how does it fit in? In this presentation I'll discuss the four most common patterns in big data production implementations, the top-down vs bottoms-up approach to analytics, and how you can use a data lake and a RDBMS data warehouse together. We will go into detail on the characteristics of a data lake and its benefits, and how you still need to perform the same data governance tasks in a data lake as you do in a data warehouse. Come to this presentation to make sure your data lake does not turn into a data swamp!

You’ll also learn how Delta Lake provides the perfect foundation for a cost-effective, highly scalable lakehouse architecture.
Five Things to Consider About Data Mesh and Data GovernanceDATAVERSITY
Data mesh was among the most discussed and controversial enterprise data management topics of 2021. One of the reasons people struggle with data mesh concepts is we still have a lot of open questions that we are not thinking about:
Are you thinking beyond analytics? Are you thinking about all possible stakeholders? Are you thinking about how to be agile? Are you thinking about standardization and policies? Are you thinking about organizational structures and roles?
Join data.world VP of Product Tim Gasper and Principal Scientist Juan Sequeda for an honest, no-bs discussion about data mesh and its role in data governance.
Delta Lake OSS: Create reliable and performant Data Lake by Quentin AmbardParis Data Engineers !
Delta Lake is an open source framework living on top of parquet in your data lake to provide Reliability and performances. It has been open-sourced by Databricks this year and is gaining traction to become the defacto delta lake format.
We’ll see all the goods Delta Lake can do to your data with ACID transactions, DDL operations, Schema enforcement, batch and stream support etc !
Databricks CEO Ali Ghodsi introduces Databricks Delta, a new data management system that combines the scale and cost-efficiency of a data lake, the performance and reliability of a data warehouse, and the low latency of streaming.
Accelerating Data Ingestion with Databricks AutoloaderDatabricks
Tracking which incoming files have been processed has always required thought and design when implementing an ETL framework. The Autoloader feature of Databricks looks to simplify this, taking away the pain of file watching and queue management. However, there can also be a lot of nuance and complexity in setting up Autoloader and managing the process of ingesting data using it. After implementing an automated data loading process in a major US CPMG, Simon has some lessons to share from the experience.
This session will run through the initial setup and configuration of Autoloader in a Microsoft Azure environment, looking at the components used and what is created behind the scenes. We’ll then look at some of the limitations of the feature, before walking through the process of overcoming these limitations. We will build out a practical example that tackles evolving schemas, applying transformations to your stream, extracting telemetry from the process and finally, how to merge the incoming data into a Delta table.
After this session you will be better equipped to use Autoloader in a data ingestion platform, simplifying your production workloads and accelerating the time to realise value in your data!
Making Apache Spark Better with Delta LakeDatabricks
Delta Lake is an open-source storage layer that brings reliability to data lakes. Delta Lake offers ACID transactions, scalable metadata handling, and unifies the streaming and batch data processing. It runs on top of your existing data lake and is fully compatible with Apache Spark APIs.
In this talk, we will cover:
* What data quality problems Delta helps address
* How to convert your existing application to Delta Lake
* How the Delta Lake transaction protocol works internally
* The Delta Lake roadmap for the next few releases
* How to get involved!

5 Critical Steps to Clean Your Data Swamp When Migrating Off of HadoopDatabricks
In this session, learn how to quickly supplement your on-premises Hadoop environment with a simple, open, and collaborative cloud architecture that enables you to generate greater value with scaled application of analytics and AI on all your data. You will also learn five critical steps for a successful migration to the Databricks Lakehouse Platform along with the resources available to help you begin to re-skill your data teams.
Democratizing Data Quality Through a Centralized PlatformDatabricks
Bad data leads to bad decisions and broken customer experiences. Organizations depend on complete and accurate data to power their business, maintain efficiency, and uphold customer trust. With thousands of datasets and pipelines running, how do we ensure that all data meets quality standards, and that expectations are clear between producers and consumers? Investing in shared, flexible components and practices for monitoring data health is crucial for a complex data organization to rapidly and effectively scale.
At Zillow, we built a centralized platform to meet our data quality needs across stakeholders. The platform is accessible to engineers, scientists, and analysts, and seamlessly integrates with existing data pipelines and data discovery tools. In this presentation, we will provide an overview of our platform’s capabilities, including:
Giving producers and consumers the ability to define and view data quality expectations using a self-service onboarding portal
Performing data quality validations using libraries built to work with spark
Dynamically generating pipelines that can be abstracted away from users
Flagging data that doesn’t meet quality standards at the earliest stage and giving producers the opportunity to resolve issues before use by downstream consumers
Exposing data quality metrics alongside each dataset to provide producers and consumers with a comprehensive picture of health over time
Why APM Is Not the Same As ML MonitoringDatabricks
Application performance monitoring (APM) has become the cornerstone of software engineering allowing engineering teams to quickly identify and remedy production issues. However, as the world moves to intelligent software applications that are built using machine learning, traditional APM quickly becomes insufficient to identify and remedy production issues encountered in these modern software applications.
As a lead software engineer at NewRelic, my team built high-performance monitoring systems including Insights, Mobile, and SixthSense. As I transitioned to building ML Monitoring software, I found the architectural principles and design choices underlying APM to not be a good fit for this brand new world. In fact, blindly following APM designs led us down paths that would have been better left unexplored.
In this talk, I draw upon my (and my team’s) experience building an ML Monitoring system from the ground up and deploying it on customer workloads running large-scale ML training with Spark as well as real-time inference systems. I will highlight how the key principles and architectural choices of APM don’t apply to ML monitoring. You’ll learn why, understand what ML Monitoring can successfully borrow from APM, and hear what is required to build a scalable, robust ML Monitoring architecture.
The Function, the Context, and the Data—Enabling ML Ops at Stitch FixDatabricks
Autonomy and ownership are core to working at Stitch Fix, particularly on the Algorithms team. We enable data scientists to deploy and operate their models independently, with minimal need for handoffs or gatekeeping. By writing a simple function and calling out to an intuitive API, data scientists can harness a suite of platform-provided tooling meant to make ML operations easy. In this talk, we will dive into the abstractions the Data Platform team has built to enable this. We will go over the interface data scientists use to specify a model and what that hooks into, including online deployment, batch execution on Spark, and metrics tracking and visualization.
Stage Level Scheduling Improving Big Data and AI IntegrationDatabricks
In this talk, I will dive into the stage level scheduling feature added to Apache Spark 3.1. Stage level scheduling extends upon Project Hydrogen by improving big data ETL and AI integration and also enables multiple other use cases. It is beneficial any time the user wants to change container resources between stages in a single Apache Spark application, whether those resources are CPU, Memory or GPUs. One of the most popular use cases is enabling end-to-end scalable Deep Learning and AI to efficiently use GPU resources. In this type of use case, users read from a distributed file system, do data manipulation and filtering to get the data into a format that the Deep Learning algorithm needs for training or inference and then sends the data into a Deep Learning algorithm. Using stage level scheduling combined with accelerator aware scheduling enables users to seamlessly go from ETL to Deep Learning running on the GPU by adjusting the container requirements for different stages in Spark within the same application. This makes writing these applications easier and can help with hardware utilization and costs.
There are other ETL use cases where users want to change CPU and memory resources between stages, for instance there is data skew or perhaps the data size is much larger in certain stages of the application. In this talk, I will go over the feature details, cluster requirements, the API and use cases. I will demo how the stage level scheduling API can be used by Horovod to seamlessly go from data preparation to training using the Tensorflow Keras API using GPUs.
The talk will also touch on other new Apache Spark 3.1 functionality, such as pluggable caching, which can be used to enable faster dataframe access when operating from GPUs.
Simplify Data Conversion from Spark to TensorFlow and PyTorchDatabricks
In this talk, I would like to introduce an open-source tool built by our team that simplifies the data conversion from Apache Spark to deep learning frameworks.
Imagine you have a large dataset, say 20 GBs, and you want to use it to train a TensorFlow model. Before feeding the data to the model, you need to clean and preprocess your data using Spark. Now you have your dataset in a Spark DataFrame. When it comes to the training part, you may have the problem: How can I convert my Spark DataFrame to some format recognized by my TensorFlow model?
The existing data conversion process can be tedious. For example, to convert an Apache Spark DataFrame to a TensorFlow Dataset file format, you need to either save the Apache Spark DataFrame on a distributed filesystem in parquet format and load the converted data with third-party tools such as Petastorm, or save it directly in TFRecord files with spark-tensorflow-connector and load it back using TFRecordDataset. Both approaches take more than 20 lines of code to manage the intermediate data files, rely on different parsing syntax, and require extra attention for handling vector columns in the Spark DataFrames. In short, all these engineering frictions greatly reduced the data scientists’ productivity.
The Databricks Machine Learning team contributed a new Spark Dataset Converter API to Petastorm to simplify these tedious data conversion process steps. With the new API, it takes a few lines of code to convert a Spark DataFrame to a TensorFlow Dataset or a PyTorch DataLoader with default parameters.
In the talk, I will use an example to show how to use the Spark Dataset Converter to train a Tensorflow model and how simple it is to go from single-node training to distributed training on Databricks.
Scaling your Data Pipelines with Apache Spark on KubernetesDatabricks
There is no doubt Kubernetes has emerged as the next generation of cloud native infrastructure to support a wide variety of distributed workloads. Apache Spark has evolved to run both Machine Learning and large scale analytics workloads. There is growing interest in running Apache Spark natively on Kubernetes. By combining the flexibility of Kubernetes and scalable data processing with Apache Spark, you can run any data and machine pipelines on this infrastructure while effectively utilizing resources at disposal.
In this talk, Rajesh Thallam and Sougata Biswas will share how to effectively run your Apache Spark applications on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) and Google Cloud Dataproc, orchestrate the data and machine learning pipelines with managed Apache Airflow on GKE (Google Cloud Composer). Following topics will be covered: – Understanding key traits of Apache Spark on Kubernetes- Things to know when running Apache Spark on Kubernetes such as autoscaling- Demonstrate running analytics pipelines on Apache Spark orchestrated with Apache Airflow on Kubernetes cluster.
Scaling and Unifying SciKit Learn and Apache Spark PipelinesDatabricks
Pipelines have become ubiquitous, as the need for stringing multiple functions to compose applications has gained adoption and popularity. Common pipeline abstractions such as “fit” and “transform” are even shared across divergent platforms such as Python Scikit-Learn and Apache Spark.
Scaling pipelines at the level of simple functions is desirable for many AI applications, however is not directly supported by Ray’s parallelism primitives. In this talk, Raghu will describe a pipeline abstraction that takes advantage of Ray’s compute model to efficiently scale arbitrarily complex pipeline workflows. He will demonstrate how this abstraction cleanly unifies pipeline workflows across multiple platforms such as Scikit-Learn and Spark, and achieves nearly optimal scale-out parallelism on pipelined computations.
Attendees will learn how pipelined workflows can be mapped to Ray’s compute model and how they can both unify and accelerate their pipelines with Ray.
Sawtooth Windows for Feature AggregationsDatabricks
In this talk about zipline, we will introduce a new type of windowing construct called a sawtooth window. We will describe various properties about sawtooth windows that we utilize to achieve online-offline consistency, while still maintaining high-throughput, low-read latency and tunable write latency for serving machine learning features.We will also talk about a simple deployment strategy for correcting feature drift – due operations that are not “abelian groups”, that operate over change data.
We want to present multiple anti patterns utilizing Redis in unconventional ways to get the maximum out of Apache Spark.All examples presented are tried and tested in production at Scale at Adobe. The most common integration is spark-redis which interfaces with Redis as a Dataframe backing Store or as an upstream for Structured Streaming. We deviate from the common use cases to explore where Redis can plug gaps while scaling out high throughput applications in Spark.
Niche 1 : Long Running Spark Batch Job – Dispatch New Jobs by polling a Redis Queue
· Why?
o Custom queries on top a table; We load the data once and query N times
· Why not Structured Streaming
· Working Solution using Redis
Niche 2 : Distributed Counters
· Problems with Spark Accumulators
· Utilize Redis Hashes as distributed counters
· Precautions for retries and speculative execution
· Pipelining to improve performance
Re-imagine Data Monitoring with whylogs and SparkDatabricks
In the era of microservices, decentralized ML architectures and complex data pipelines, data quality has become a bigger challenge than ever. When data is involved in complex business processes and decisions, bad data can, and will, affect the bottom line. As a result, ensuring data quality across the entire ML pipeline is both costly, and cumbersome while data monitoring is often fragmented and performed ad hoc. To address these challenges, we built whylogs, an open source standard for data logging. It is a lightweight data profiling library that enables end-to-end data profiling across the entire software stack. The library implements a language and platform agnostic approach to data quality and data monitoring. It can work with different modes of data operations, including streaming, batch and IoT data.
In this talk, we will provide an overview of the whylogs architecture, including its lightweight statistical data collection approach and various integrations. We will demonstrate how the whylogs integration with Apache Spark achieves large scale data profiling, and we will show how users can apply this integration into existing data and ML pipelines.
Raven: End-to-end Optimization of ML Prediction QueriesDatabricks
Machine learning (ML) models are typically part of prediction queries that consist of a data processing part (e.g., for joining, filtering, cleaning, featurization) and an ML part invoking one or more trained models. In this presentation, we identify significant and unexplored opportunities for optimization. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first effort to look at prediction queries holistically, optimizing across both the ML and SQL components.
We will present Raven, an end-to-end optimizer for prediction queries. Raven relies on a unified intermediate representation that captures both data processing and ML operators in a single graph structure.
This allows us to introduce optimization rules that
(i) reduce unnecessary computations by passing information between the data processing and ML operators
(ii) leverage operator transformations (e.g., turning a decision tree to a SQL expression or an equivalent neural network) to map operators to the right execution engine, and
(iii) integrate compiler techniques to take advantage of the most efficient hardware backend (e.g., CPU, GPU) for each operator.
We have implemented Raven as an extension to Spark’s Catalyst optimizer to enable the optimization of SparkSQL prediction queries. Our implementation also allows the optimization of prediction queries in SQL Server. As we will show, Raven is capable of improving prediction query performance on Apache Spark and SQL Server by up to 13.1x and 330x, respectively. For complex models, where GPU acceleration is beneficial, Raven provides up to 8x speedup compared to state-of-the-art systems. As part of the presentation, we will also give a demo showcasing Raven in action.
Processing Large Datasets for ADAS Applications using Apache SparkDatabricks
Semantic segmentation is the classification of every pixel in an image/video. The segmentation partitions a digital image into multiple objects to simplify/change the representation of the image into something that is more meaningful and easier to analyze [1][2]. The technique has a wide variety of applications ranging from perception in autonomous driving scenarios to cancer cell segmentation for medical diagnosis.
Exponential growth in the datasets that require such segmentation is driven by improvements in the accuracy and quality of the sensors generating the data extending to 3D point cloud data. This growth is further compounded by exponential advances in cloud technologies enabling the storage and compute available for such applications. The need for semantically segmented datasets is a key requirement to improve the accuracy of inference engines that are built upon them.
Streamlining the accuracy and efficiency of these systems directly affects the value of the business outcome for organizations that are developing such functionalities as a part of their AI strategy.
This presentation details workflows for labeling, preprocessing, modeling, and evaluating performance/accuracy. Scientists and engineers leverage domain-specific features/tools that support the entire workflow from labeling the ground truth, handling data from a wide variety of sources/formats, developing models and finally deploying these models. Users can scale their deployments optimally on GPU-based cloud infrastructure to build accelerated training and inference pipelines while working with big datasets. These environments are optimized for engineers to develop such functionality with ease and then scale against large datasets with Spark-based clusters on the cloud.

Machine Learning CI/CD for Email Attack DetectionDatabricks
Detecting advanced email attacks at scale is a challenging ML problem, particularly due to the rarity of attacks, adversarial nature of the problem, and scale of data. In order to move quickly and adapt to the newest threat we needed to build a Continuous Integration / Continuous Delivery pipeline for the entire ML detection stack. Our goal is to enable detection engineers and data scientists to make changes to any part of the stack including joined datasets for hydration, feature extraction code, detection logic, and develop/train ML models.
In this talk, we discuss why we decided to build this pipeline, how it is used to accelerate development and ensure quality, and dive into the nitty-gritty details of building such a system on top of an Apache Spark + Databricks stack.
Jeeves Grows Up: An AI Chatbot for Performance and QualityDatabricks
Sarah: CEO-Finance-Report pipeline seems to be slow today. Why
Jeeves: SparkSQL query dbt_fin_model in CEO-Finance-Report is running 53% slower on 2/28/2021. Data skew issue detected. Issue has not been seen in last 90 days.
Jeeves: Adding 5 more nodes to cluster recommended for CEO-Finance-Report to finish in its 99th percentile time of 5.2 hours.
Who is Jeeves? An experienced Spark developer? A seasoned administrator? No, Jeeves is a chatbot created to simplify data operations management for enterprise Spark clusters. This chatbot is powered by advanced AI algorithms and an intuitive conversational interface that together provide answers to get users in and out of problems quickly. Instead of being stuck to screens displaying logs and metrics, users can now have a more refreshing experience via a two-way conversation with their own personal Spark expert.
We presented Jeeves at Spark Summit 2019. In the two years since, Jeeves has grown up a lot. Jeeves can now learn continuously as telemetry information streams in from more and more applications, especially SQL queries. Jeeves now “knows” about data pipelines that have many components. Jeeves can also answer questions about data quality in addition to performance, cost, failures, and SLAs. For example:
Tom: I am not seeing any data for today in my Campaign Metrics Dashboard.
Jeeves: 3/5 validations failed on the cmp_kpis table on 2/28/2021. Run of pipeline cmp_incremental_daily failed on 2/28/2021.
This talk will give an overview of the newer capabilities of the chatbot, and how it now fits in a modern data stack with the emergence of new data roles like analytics engineers and machine learning engineers. You will learn how to build chatbots that tackle your complex data operations challenges.
Intuitive & Scalable Hyperparameter Tuning with Apache Spark + FugueDatabricks
Hyperparameter tuning is critical in model development. And its general form: parameter tuning with an objective function is also widely used in industry. On the other hand, Apache Spark can handle massive parallelism, and Apache Spark ML is a solid machine learning solution.
But we have not seen a general and intuitive distributed parameter tuning solution based on Apache Spark, why?
Not every tuning problem is on Apache Spark ML models. How can Apache Spark handle general models?
Not every tuning problem is a parallelizable grid or random search. Bayesian optimization is sequential, how can Apache Spark help in this case?
Not every tuning problem is single epoch, deep learning is not. How to fit algos such as hyperband and ASHA into Apache Spark?
Not every tuning problem is a machine learning problem, for example simulation + tuning is also common. How to generalize?
In this talk, we are going to show how using Fugue-Tune and Apache Spark together can eliminate these painpoints
Fugue-Tune like Fugue, is a “super framework” – an absraction layer unifying existing solutions such as Hyperopt and Optuna
It firstly models the general tuning problems, independent from machine learning
It is designed for both small and large scale problems. It can always fully parallelize the distributable part of a tuning problem
It works for both classical and deep learning models. With Fugue, running hyperband and ASHA becomes possible on Apache Spark.
In the demo, you will see how to do any type of tuning in a consistent, intuitive, scalable and minimal way. And you will see a live demo of the amazing performance.

Data Centers - Striving Within A Narrow Range - Research Report - MCG - May 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) expects to see demand and the changing evolution of supply, facilitated through institutional investment rotation out of offices and into work from home (“WFH”), while the ever-expanding need for data storage as global internet usage expands, with experts predicting 5.3 billion users by 2023. These market factors will be underpinned by technological changes, such as progressing cloud services and edge sites, allowing the industry to see strong expected annual growth of 13% over the next 4 years.
Whilst competitive headwinds remain, represented through the recent second bankruptcy filing of Sungard, which blames “COVID-19 and other macroeconomic trends including delayed customer spending decisions, insourcing and reductions in IT spending, energy inflation and reduction in demand for certain services”, the industry has seen key adjustments, where MCG believes that engineering cost management and technological innovation will be paramount to success.
MCG reports that the more favorable market conditions expected over the next few years, helped by the winding down of pandemic restrictions and a hybrid working environment will be driving market momentum forward. The continuous injection of capital by alternative investment firms, as well as the growing infrastructural investment from cloud service providers and social media companies, whose revenues are expected to grow over 3.6x larger by value in 2026, will likely help propel center provision and innovation. These factors paint a promising picture for the industry players that offset rising input costs and adapt to new technologies.
According to M Capital Group: “Specifically, the long-term cost-saving opportunities available from the rise of remote managing will likely aid value growth for the industry. Through margin optimization and further availability of capital for reinvestment, strong players will maintain their competitive foothold, while weaker players exit the market to balance supply and demand.”
