資訊系統雲端化所帶來的便利性顯而易見，尤其在智慧型裝置充斥的現在，在享用這些服務的同時，相關資訊系統所需的伺服器、儲存與網路等設備集中放置在資料中心，鑑於此需求國內業者紛紛投入大型資料中心的新建，然而公眾所熟悉使用的公有雲服務大多皆是國外雲端供應商的產品，大型公有雲廠商基於成本近年又多採自建資料中心，兩者間看似相輔相成，但卻又互相排斥，在看似一片前途光明的同時，此議題開始漸漸被關注。本研究整理、蒐集與探討相關市場資料，以系統動力學方式，歸納相關問題與因素，發展一系統模型，加以模擬與推算資訊系統需求增長對資料中心需求的實際影響，以作為客觀界定需求的參考依據。 The convenience brought by the development of cloud-based information systems is apparent, especially in today’s world where smart devices are widely available. While we enjoy the convenient services, a series of hardware facilities, including the server, storage and networking equipment, are working together to support the operations of the information systems and these facilities are centrally located in a data center. The domestic businesses saw this demand and successively invested in construction of large data centers. However, most of the public cloud services known and used by the mass public are products of foreign cloud service providers and most of them built their own data centers for maximum cost effectiveness. The investment in data centers seems to be a matter of course to the development of cloud services, yet development of these two areas are not synchronizing with one another. When the future looks bright, this issue began to gain attention in the industry. This research collected, consolidated and explored relevant market information to analyze the issues and factors through system dynamics and develop a series of system models to simulate and compute the actual demand for data centers along the growth in the needs for information systems. Results of the simulations and computation can be used as an objective reference for estimation of industrial needs.
