Data centers have been a driving force behind innovations in computing for decades. These facilities manage computer data and support businesses and end-users alike. With current ongoing innovations and the latest breakthrough trends, the future of data centers is looking bright. Here is what we can expect from data centers in 2024 and beyond.

 

 

Increase in Edge Data Center Computing

 

 

Edge data centers provide a stepping stool for end-users. They are located locally and help to reduce the latency between the user and the larger, main data center. Edge data centers have been around for quite a while, but their market is expected to grow exponentially. In fact, LinkedIn reports that the edge data center market was valued at $4 billion in 2017 and is expected to grow to $15.9 billion by 2033! 

 

And they are growing for good reason too. Edge data computing allows end-users to stream shows, movies, and video games much faster because the servers transferring the data are closer to the user. This offers a reduced burden on the network and faster loading times.

 

 

Increase in Efficiency

 

 

Not only is the data center market expected to grow in number but data centers are also expected to grow in efficiency. Technological growth means advancements in cooling systems, installations, energy integration and monitoring, and hardware. For example, LDP Associates offers prefabricated data center modules to make hardware installation that much easier to deploy.

 

 

Growth in Automation

 

Automation is an important component of data center services because of their size. Data centers will continue to use artificial intelligence and automation to boost efficiency and monitor assets, cables, space, cooling, and power remotely. 

 

Data center management software (DCIM) is especially ideal for remote monitoring because it can help in the planning of space consumption, cooling solutions, power distribution, and more.
