Sustainable, effective facilities are within reach
With phrases like “digital transformation” and “disruptive technologies” rippling throughout the data sphere, understanding the immediate and forthcoming implications surrounding technological innovation in the datacomms and cloud application space are enough to make most people’s heads spin. Protecting data and preparing for scalability through application development are top of mind for most organizations, but with so much change and growth, navigating the “how” is more difficult than ever. Rather than leaving them to wade through the murky waters of the dynamic and complex world of data management, it’s important that we identify what actually matters and provide real-world solutions. In essence, nothing can compete with a deep industry knowledge when it comes to defining the future of data center design.
Today, enterprises are, for the most part, moving toward distributed cloud architecture, particularly as it relates to application delivery. In fact, Gartner predicts that by 2025, 40% of newly procured premises-based compute and storage will be consumed as a service — up from a mere 10% in 2021. And, it’s no wonder why. With the incredible agility of off-site and cloud architecture, distributed across defined availability zones, on-premises infrastructure as a primary location for data hosting is almost a thing of the past. Remember those disruptive technologies? While the average person may not need to understand the nuances of these burgeoning developments, things like AI, quantum computing, and the formidable computational power of supercomputers are unquestionably changing the way data is consumed and how it’s stored, processed, and delivered. All these developments are going to define the future of data center design. Industries across the board, such as financial services, health care, logistics, and transportation are already experiencing massive disruption with the growth of AI and machine learning. And, while quantum computing is still in its infancy, these complex technologies already require immense computing power.
