What Are The Latest Trends In Data Centre Technology?

A new year brings with it new challenges and solutions, and 2024 is no different for the world of data centres. With the data centre industry changing at a rapid pace, it’s important to keep up! Here are some of the latest trends predicted to drive the evolution of data centre technology this year…

Artificial Intelligence (AI): Like with most industries, artificial intelligence is permeating its way into the data centre industry, with an increased demand for AI solutions becoming more and more apparent. An example is the gradual switch from central processing units (CPUs) to AI-run graphics processing units (GPUs). High-performance AI programs are also being implemented to optimise the performance of data centres. However, as these changes are made, data centre facilities should also consider the high-density colocation required to efficiently manage and maintain these innovative AI solutions!

Cloud Infrastructure & Edge Computing: Cloud infrastructure and edge computing arguably go hand in hand with the changes occurring in the storage of data. Edge computing is typically used to process time-sensitive data, whereas cloud computing and infrastructure are used for data that isn’t time-driven. Edge computing helps to reduce latency and is preferred over cloud infrastructure in remote locations where there is no or limited connectivity to a centralised location. Despite their differences, both cloud and edge computing will play a major role in the future of data storage.

Hyper-Scalability & Small Data Centres: Both the ability to scale up and scale down are becoming increasingly important in the world of data storage as demand fluctuates.

Why Is Sustainability, Energy Efficiency & Security So Important Moving Forward?
In a world of growing environmental and economic uncertainty, supporting a sustainable future is essential, especially in the data centre industry, where energy consumption is at an all-time high. Therefore, making changes to ensure you are operating more sustainably, particularly in regards to energy efficiency, is vital. Technology is also becoming more advanced, especially that that could be used to compromise the security and safety of your data storage solutions. This means that ensuring your data centre and infrastructure are protected is also of the utmost importance moving forward.
