2022 to witness newer trends in the data center operations

By VARINDIA - 2021-12-27

Today, data centers experience dramatically varying demands for computing power. The answer to that challenge is ultra-scalable technology that allows them to scale up or down depending on the amount of processing power required. With Dubbed hyper-scale data centers, these facilities offer outstanding capabilities to handle seasonal computing demands. Organizations started adopting the work-from-home culture putting more pressure on the already stressed data center market.

With this the demand for the Edge data centers or edge interconnection will be more prevalent as edge locations are experiencing high consumption and creation of data at an increasing rate leading to decentralized computing. As 5G is coming into the picture, enterprises can leverage their IT environments that are close to the 5G access points. 5G will become wireless and it will be a major part of business’ infrastructural development. 5G will provide wider coverage, greater reliability, higher bandwidth, and improved security as an access network.

This will open up new opportunities and possibilities for robotics, drones, autonomous vehicles, telemedicine, and tactile internet, among others. Traditional DC installation necessitates several expenditures ranging from networking to server gear. These components need to be replaced or updated with time as with technological advancements old components become obsolete.

Going forward, the sustainable and green data centers are predicted to be a trend in the coming days with renewable energy and carbon neutrality. 2022 may witness an increase in sustainable data centers. By 2030, several operators promise to run their data centers on 100% renewable energy and carbon neutrality.

In 2021, data centers are positioned to have a strong impact on the environment, given the growth of the digital economy. In 2022, we expect to see a significant increase in “grid-and-sustainability”-positive data center projects.

The next generation of data centers will be decentralized and integrated into communities, serving as resilient ecosystems for computing, connectivity, power and heat. Cities like Bangalore, Delhi, Mumbai, Pune, Hyderabad, Chennai and Kolkata are likely to experience an influx of data center infrastructure as per Cushman and Wakefield. Cities such as Pune, Gurgaon, Ahmedabad, Nagpur, Kochi and Jaipur, particularly, are also likely to witness the completion of edge DCs during 2021-23, on the back of their ability to service-specific geographic zones. The growth of Big Data and cloud computing is also becoming more mainstream.

We are going to witness huge Hyperscale Data Centers to come-up in 2022, with a large storage structure with its own servers, routers, storage, powerhouse, and grids. We will also witness a combination of modern edge platforms and software-defined edge systems will become the dominant way to build and deploy edge systems in the multi-cloud world.
