| | April - 20186CIOReviewThe evolving digital economy fuelled by the growing number of connected users and explosion of data is having a huge impact on today's data centers. Organizations are constantly working toward strengthening their data center architectures and capabilities by adopting state of the art technologies and methodologies. An important part of this evolution is the move towards hybrid cloud model for data centers that is enabling enterprises to preserve legacy infrastructure while embracing the benefits of cloud. This model is proving to be a winner for those enterprises who are not ready to venture out completely into cloud or introduce cloud elements on premise.Another major development is the adoption of edge computing that is acting as a decentralized extension of the data center, cellular and campus networks. By decentralizing the compute power and placing it closer to the point of data generation, edge is helping enterprises increase the efficiency of streaming data to cloud or data center for processing. In instances where the need for real time information is the key, connected sensors are being used for edge computing to speed up the entire process. In addition to edge, SD-WAN solutions are also supporting data centers in connecting and securing data in various branch offices while reducing capital and operating expenditure. Similarly, intent based networking is gaining traction to keep track of the data center network by continuously reevaluating and fixing it based on intent and business needs.When it comes to enhancing the efficiency of data centers, organizations are also looking at airflow management and computational fluid dynamics to work with modular containment around critical systems to optimize airflow. Along the same lines, DCIM software and other data center management tools are also proving beneficial in managing assets, change and capacity. These solutions also offer intuitive dashboards to present the real time information on power consumption and environmental variations inside the data center.In this edition of CIOReview, we are featuring a list of leading players in the data center market that can help businesses to build competitive advantage.
