In a report titled 'Modern Data Centers: How Well They Are Adapting to New Technologies and Hyperconnectivity,' Forbes Insights and Vertiv noted that as today's data centers evolve to integrate enterprise, cloud, and edge resources, thorough planning and forecasting are required to meet corporate computing requirements and business goals, but many companies are lagging behind in this area.
A survey of 150 data center executives and engineers across various industries worldwide revealed a clear difference in opinion between executives and engineers, with 11% of executives stating that their data center update levels were ahead of current requirements, compared to only 1% of engineers.
92% of CIOs and CTOs answered that faster download and response times will soon be required in their businesses. The most common characteristics providing a competitive advantage to companies were found to be security (43%), backup and emergency response (33%), the ability to implement new technologies (28%), and bandwidth (27%).
Although respondents answered that security (45%) and bandwidth (43%) were the areas most in need of upgrade, 63% of respondents said that it is always difficult to meet bandwidth requirements.
Respondents were optimistic about self-configuring and self-healing data centers. 24% of respondents expected that more than half of data centers would be self-configuring by 2025, and 32% predicted they would be self-healing.
Tony Gunt, Senior Director at Vertiv, stated, “Companies in Asia are showing increasing interest and motivation to upgrade their core infrastructure to the future to adapt to growing connectivity and network requirements,” adding, “For business success, it is necessary to review existing strategies and continuously improve them.”
