Executive Summary
This report examines how tightening power availability, rising rack densities and evolving delivery models are reshaping the data centre operations and infrastructure software market. Tools that were once focused primarily on monitoring facilities operations are now being used earlier in design validation, capacity planning and energy modelling, and are playing a larger role in supporting operational decision-making in live environments. This report explores how energy and sustainability constraints are influencing development feasibility, considers the ways in which densification and modular construction are affecting design practices, examines how operating models are adapting to continuous change, and assesses the response – and evolving strategies – of data centre software providers. It is intended to support data centre operators, colocation providers, hyperscalers and technology vendors in understanding the shifts shaping software investment priorities in 2026.About the Authors
