Over the last two years, the general public has witnessed unprecedented technology transformations related to how we work, play, and communicate. As expected for 2021, the cloud migration that began in 2020 continued to transform businesses and data centers, 5G rollouts accelerated, IoT powered the trend to make nearly everything “smart,” AI went from experimental to essential, and remote work became a way of life for many.
These trends have proven so important to how businesses, communities, and families are adapting to change that they will continue unabated in 2022. In addition, the accelerating adoption of single-mode fiber for faster processing of more data and automated infrastructure management (AIM) for increased system interoperability, will have a significant impact on data centers.
