Today, around five billion people are connected to the internet. Broadband and cloud technology are gradually changing the shape of the modern society. The onset of the “Networked Society” deemed by Ericsson, has made a strong impact on human lives.

In the current scenario,Organizations are Gradually Shifting Focus Towards Cloud to Utilize Data Articles internet connectivity and mobile communication has become an integral aspect of day-to-day activities. Further, the significant growth of the internet of things (IoT) has made the electronic devices smarter and connected to other devices in the expanding cloud network. There are several opportunities for information systems to harness Big Data in the evolving digital industry. Allied Market Research recently published a market study that offers significant insights related to the hyper scale data center market such as the market share, size and growth. Further, the market study also includes the current trends, growth opportunities and the upcoming advancements in the market.

Recent advances in the data center market

Data centers in the current scenario are constantly evolving. The onset of wearable technology and big data, there is a change in pattern regarding how organizations are building, planning and viewing data centers. Several enterprises are migrating new data centers to a leased co-location facilities and public cloud. Organizations who opt to build their own data center need to address that fact that facilities need to be more efficient and gain higher density. In the last decade, there has been a notable change in how organizations utilize technology. Technology is evolving continuously and along with that; its implementation is also changing.

Previously, data centers largely focused on storage of data and disaster recovery only. Geographic diversity was essential to create backup and information was retrieved on a periodic basis. However, in the present scenario, the focus has shifted from data storage to analysis and processing of data for on-demand access. The growth of mobility and wearable technology has created a requirement for latency that was never seen before. Business users and consumers have a certain expectation of on-demand access to the data cloud with the same experience while accessing data stored on the device. Cloud computing is proving to be the most efficient for several businesses.

Data centers at present are required to be efficient and achieve a higher density as discussed earlier. There will be a significant growth in offering distributed computing from the perspective of the service provider. The growth will be in point of presence (PoP) data centers that support content delivery networks for the service providers and in promoting network visualization and software defined networks. The growth in PoP and co-location will boost the demand for interconnecting between the service providers.

A major highlight in the coming years will be the idea of moving computer power to the edge of the network. Today, to reduce latency by decreasing the number of barriers data should go through to reach the end-user, service providers are hoping to push computing resources to the edge of the network. A significant volume of data is shifting from the storage of algorithms that modify and study the data which is stored. As data is used, latency should be reduced. A decade ago, during the period of programs, a program took time to load and could be studied for a long period, a couple of times a day. However, today there is a notable shift towards an app dominated environment in which data can be accessed hundred times a day in shorter durations. Today, users demand that data should be predictive and serve information directly from the cloud.

Hyper scale gain popularity 

The magnitude of demand coming from consumers engaged in online shopping has led to multiple high profile outages. Similar events will influence operations of organizations to the cloud in hyper scale data centers. This will offer companies to ease into a cloud capability when the network is busy.

There are significant advances and shift in trends in the hyper scale data center sector. There are several factors that are impacting the growth of the hyper scale including, streaming, uninterruptable, low latency services of music, video and data. Individuals demand for streaming without and delay. Majority individuals are moving their compute services to the edge of the network.

In the recent past, it has been observed that several companies have taken giant strides forwards in terms of shifting from managing their own data towards a cloud. Data centers are set to grow and transform each year owing to the expansion of cloud and co-location.
