Data centers are principal repositories for IT equipment like servers, storage subsystems, networking switches, routers and firewalls, and the cabling and physical racks that are used to organize and interconnect the IT equipment. The technological trends that are elevating the functionalities of data centers:
Cloud growth: Companies are adopting a hybrid cloud approach that maximizes the benefits of both public and private cloud environments as hybrid clouds are versatile and responsive in meeting IT and computing needs. It also keeps costs in check and offers control, speed, scalability, and security.
5G: Data processed in data centers is driving the need for more reliability and connectivity. The 5G network offers these features. This network architecture reduces latency and promotes the speeds. Data centers can have a great impact on people living in isolated areas, where efforts to bring reliable internet face challenges.

Artificial Intelligence (AI): AI aids data centers to make predictions and decisions about everything from cooling requirements and equipment upgrades to storage load analysis, and equipment removal or relocation. Predictive analytics helps to analyze collected data to anticipate future outcomes.
Computing Assets: Computing assets are critical to report for compliance audits. Synchronizing data in locations that might range from an in-house data center to the cloud and external data center is important and it is a service more data centers are offering.
The data center as a service: The challenges of maintaining private IT infrastructures are pushing organizations to consider alternative options, colocation of data centers is one of them. They provide their clients with agile solutions to scale the businesses up or down as the market dictates, and opportunities to explore hybrid cloud options to get the most out of the resources.
