The OCTEON 10 DPU is designed to accelerate and process a broad spectrum of security, networking, and storage workloads required by demanding 5G, cloud, carrier, and enterprise data center applications.

In the data center industry, it’s best to plan for the unexpected. But how do you plan for a global pandemic that would send billions of workers home for months on end, kickstart a debate on who qualifies as an “essential worker,” and digitally transform entire industries in a matter of months?

With next-generation technologies, such as 5G, AI, and edge computing, becoming increasingly mainstream, it’s more important than ever for data center operators to put power at the forefront of upgrade considerations.

In this episode of Data Center Minute, Amy Al-Katib, editor-in-chief of Mission Critical, talks with Uptime Institute's vice president of research, Rhonda Ascierto, and executive director of research, Andy Lawrence. Watch the interview to hear what they predict for the data center industry in 2021.

Uptime Institute's examination of some of the top trends in data centers in 2021 reveals a vibrant sector that is growing, especially around the edge, and increasingly embracing new innovations.

DPUs are a new class of programmable processors — systems on chips (SOCs) that combines three elements.

True network slicing will enable multiple operators to share a common distributed cloud infrastructure with each entity enjoying full isolation down to the hardware level for better security and a better quality of experience.

Like so many things, when it comes to data centers, you get what you pay for.

The pandemic effectively established a new baseline for digital infrastructure as the industry adjusts to and eventually moves beyond the global shutdown.

If 2020 taught us anything, it’s that things don’t always go as planned.
