From infrastructure to usage, the data centers and their environments have changed significantly since then. While the architecture of data centers was earlier based on monolithic, shrink-wrapped packages, it is now commonly based on a collection of microservices that are assembled and reassembled in a continuous development cycle. One of the instances that serve as a testimony to these changing dynamics is Google's shift towards multi-story data centers than previously used single-story data centers. Last year, this move by Google made headlines and proved that the company won't leave any stone unturned to maintain the best possible data center environment and keep in line with the new standards that present day data centers need to align with.A major factor driving this change is increasing cloud adoption, due to which the IT companies are looking at deploying new cloud capacities in their data centers and being cost-effective at the same time. With a lot happening on this front, it's essential for businesses to move towards the modern data centers that can keep up with their growing requirements to manage extensive database, cost-effectively in a secure manner. However, to make it happen without exceeding the budgets, they need support from technology companies that are specialized in modern data center design and infrastructure.
