The 2024 technology trends that will have a big impact on data centers, digital transformation, and the Internet have been shared by Total Site Solutions (OTCQB: TSSI), a provider of data center services that integrate high-performance computing (HPC) infrastructure and software to reduce complexity and time-to-value. The market will be impacted by four trends in 2024 and beyond, according to TSS.
These four technology trends in 2024 would include the adoption of modular data centers, new security and compliance challenges, the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on sustainability and energy efficiency, and addressing the skill and talent gap in the industry. These trends would be driven by the transformative explosion of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) and their impact on capacity and data compliance, stated Total Site Solutions (TSS).
“As the need for compute power and infrastructure continues to grow exponentially, particularly driven by AI and ML, the data center market and related technologies are having a significant impact on how people store, use, and protect data across virtually every industry,” said Darryll Dewan, CEO at TSS. “While these trends and the industry have the potential to change rapidly, understanding what is happening now will better prepare people for the future and pave the way for advancements that will drive and support the infrastructure needs of society.”
Modular Data Centers, ESG
Trends in data center technology, according to TSS, to keep an eye on in 2024:
- Adoption of Modular Data Centers – The market for modular data centers is expected to increase significantly because to its scalability, flexibility, cost-effectiveness, and quick deployment, even while ‘traditional racks’ continue to expand.
- Investment in Security and Compliance – New technology and breakthroughs from both the ‘good guys’ and the ‘bad guys,’ together with new regulations to safeguard and guarantee that private and public data are kept separate, are constantly crucial and are altering every stage of the design, construction, deployment, and maintenance process.
- Adoption of More Energy Efficient and Sustainable Technologies – Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) requirements and laws differ globally, thus technological innovation and process improvement are becoming more than just a means of preserving one’s image and brand – they are also a means of gaining a competitive edge and of cutting expenses.
- Addressing the Skills Gap and Need to Increase Training – Rapid improvements in the data center industry have resulted in a skills deficit that is driving demand for individuals with specific understanding in artificial intelligence (AI), hyperscale solutions, modular technologies, and environmental concerns.
“Our modern digital world is creating a level of demand for data center technology, infrastructure, and talent that has never been seen before – putting immense pressure on suppliers, vendors, and developers to deliver the components and capacity more and more rapidly,” added Mr. Dewan. “Companies in the sector that can deliver more rapid time-to-value and the expertise to simplify complexity will be the winners in 2024.”
