The integrated infrastructure and platforms (II&P) market in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA), in 3Q14.

For those who unfamiliar, Connectikpeople.co can define the integrated infrastructure and platforms (II&P), as pre-integrated, vendor-certified systems containing server hardware, disk storage systems, networking equipment, and basic element/systems management software.

When it comes to this market (according to IDC) in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA), the most exciting is to observe that, integrated infrastructure and platforms (II&P) continued to increase its contribution to the EMEA storage market, contributing 238 terabytes in 3Q14, a year-on-year growth of 63.5%. 

It is also encouraging to observe the fast spreading adoption of business intelligence [BI] solutions and the benefits that are to be gained by their implementation.

The Middle East and Africa (MEA) was once again the fastest-growing region in EMEA with revenue up 282% year over year, driven by large integrated infrastructure projects in the Middle East. 

Greenfield deployments are still a major driver for the uptake of factory pre-integrated solutions, which help to address business requirements for scalable, reliable, and virtualized datacenters, in the CEMA region.
