随着一线城市指标的收紧以及骨干网络结构的逐渐改变，一线城市周边以及能源更充足地区成为互联网自建数据中心的首选。但因传输的物理距离、客户需求等，独立第三方数据中心更愿恪守一线。

一场突如其来的瘟疫打乱了全球经济生活的正常秩序，在这场全人类的灾难面前，最迫切的就是保证全人类的生命安全，其它一切问题都不应该是这场瘟疫应该予以过多关注的内容。而关于瘟疫对互联网产业的影响，实际上并没有我们想象的那样直接。很多产业变化和问题，只是因为这场瘟疫暴露得更加明显。从这个意义上看，意识到问题的存在并着手解决，确实是一个值得肯定的事。

Automation is the major trend that is driving the software development in the freight and logistics space, and transportation management systems are rapidly adopting this approach. Automation, coupled with artificial intelligence, has made it easy to build a routing guide that ensures the freight moves with the best, and not just the cheapest, carrier for the job. TMS adoption rate is comparatively on the higher side with the large enterprises, owing to the sheer volume of product variety and services offered. However, the increasing adoption of cloud (SaaS) across various industries is reducing the high initial cost, in turn, providing an opportunity for adoption of TMS by small enterprises as well.

Internet growth is a major factor that will drive the data center market in India during the forecast period. In India, the increasing smartphone penetration and deployment of 4G LTE technology is driving the number of internet users in the country. With the rollout of 5G networks, the connectivity and fixed broadband connectivity will improve significantly over the next few years. The average fixed broadband internet speed has also grown significantly in the past decade, leading to higher internet penetration in the country. By the end of 2019, there were around 510 million internet users in India and around 450 million smartphone users. According to Cisco, smartphone users will reach over 800 million by 2022.

The radio access network (RAN) uses radio signals to connect a subscriber’s cellular device to the core wireline network. RAN has been in use since the introduction of cellular technology and since then has been evolving with evolution of mobile communications. Small cell communication infrastructure consists of small radio equipment and antennas, which can be placed on structures such as streetlights, sides of buildings, or poles. It is about the size of a pizza box or a backpack and is essential to transmit data to and from a wireless device. These small cells are anticipated to revolutionize next-generation network as these cells transmit data using mid- and high-band spectrum, which would be helpful to strengthen 5G network capacity. Hence, small cell communication infrastructure is estimated to propel the market growth during the forecast period.

Internet penetration is among the strongest drivers for data center growth in the APAC region. Also, the increasing social media usage among consumers and digital transformation by enterprises across industry verticals are major factors promoting data center growth. Mobile broadband networks have become the primary mode of internet access in most Asia Pacific nations, with more than a third of the region's population using mobile networks and devices. Data centers are built, operated, and maintained to process a vast amount of both customer and business data. The number of people accessing the internet has grown significantly in the past decade from about 1.77 billion in 2009 to 4.39 billion in 2019. The growth of internet users was driven by more affordable smartphones and mobile data plans. The amount of data generated has also grown by over 50 times because of the increasing use of desktop systems, smartphone penetration, social media, wearable devices, and connected devices.

Data centers are mainly built in response to growing customer demand. However, the areas for the development and operation of data centers are identified based on factors such as power availability, fiber connectivity, and availability of skilled labor. Most of the modern data centers are built as per Tier III and Tier IV standards, thereby enabling high availability of service offerings. The Latin American market has grid power stability challenges. However, it supports free cooling, thereby reducing the power consumption by cooling systems. The major site selection criteria for data centers in Latin America are mentioned in the table below, along with the identified level of importance for each criterion and a description of the same.

With the increasing internet services penetration, improving communication infrastructure, and data speed improvements, the growing number of internet and mobile users is influencing various business, across the world, to adopt internet to offer their services and products, driving the need for creation of different profiles by the end-users. Along with this, enterprises are increasingly adopting security measures to increase accountability by adopting user accounts. Such developments are, in turn, augmenting the demand for password management software. Owing to the increase in the number of profiles operated by a single entity, the management of password becomes vital, especially in enterprises, thus, creating a requirement for authenticating the right user. Password management is one of the frequent types of services which IT helpdesks have to deal on an everyday basis, consuming a significant share of their time. The sheer volume of requests for password resets received by the IT helpdesks makes it an extremely time-consuming task. For instance, META Group data suggests that a helpdesk receives an average of 21 calls per user per year asking for a password reset. Moreover, such requests can be easily avoided by the adoption of self-service password management and automating the process cutting IT service desk's time consumed in resolving such Level-1 issues and increasing their time and efforts on pressing on core issues.
