HOW 5G , IOT , AI / ML AND REMOTE WORK WILL CONTINUE PUSHING DATA CENTRES FORWARD IN 2022
Remote working has single-handedly modernised the workspace for the foreseeable future as employees and employers alike adopt new technologies and approaches to keep things moving at the rate technology is progressing . Ehab Kanary , CommScope Infrastructure EMEA , Emerging Markets Sales VP , touches upon 5G , IoT , cloud migration , reliance on AI and ML , hybrid work and the move to 400 / 800 gigabit networks . We explore how these trends are impacting the data centre space .
In 2022 , we will see a continuation of last year ’ s trends impacting data centres , especially since the COVID pandemic and its consequences have continued to have a greater impact on our lives than we anticipated at the beginning of 2021 . All the trends we highlighted last year have taken place : we predicted that 5G rollouts would have an impact on the data centre – even as 4G investment remains relevant – and data centres have continued gearing up for the impact . We also saw an acceleration in migration to the cloud , and more Edge data centres are being built . IoT and ‘ smart everything ’ is driving the move to the cloud , and IoT use will continue to skyrocket . Reliance on AI ramped up to process increasingly large amounts
What ’ s slowing growth is compliance – data security and compliance restrictions .
of data for latency-sensitive applications . Finally , adoption of single-mode fibre accelerated because of the need to process more data more quickly .
Most people had expected to be back in hybrid work environments by mid-2021 , but we ’ re still largely using remote work styles . In fact , we may likely see remote
