Industry Perspectives

HCI has become the IT delivery model of choice for most organizations taking a hard look and modernizing their data centers.

As more and more revenue shifts to the cloud, colocation companies find more ways to assist their customers.

For the first time, IT can create and recreate logical hardware through software. And the benefits are enormous.

Data centers still play a vital role in prioritizing and distributing operations between directly controlled and outsourced environments.

Major tech companies see edge data centers as a way to protect their entire IT infrastructure.

A data center can be built anywhere with power and connectivity, but location has an impact on the quality of service it can provide to its customers.

Webscale architectures were born in the data center, but as they move to the wide area network (WAN) and the network edge, they must confront some challenging but not unsolvable problems.

There’s an alternative to persistent memory that provides a different approach to compute and storage locality: computational storage.

Development and operations teams are now tasked with transforming the mainframe into an engine for agility, where it has traditionally been a siloed platform with slow processes that prioritized system reliability over customer value.

Gartner predicts that more than 30 percent of data centers that fail to sufficiently prepare for AI will no longer be operationally or economically viable by 2020.
