Data centers Are Going Hyperscale and Here are the Reasons

rnBeforernwe dive deep into why Datacenters are going hyper-scale,rnlet us understand what ‘Hyperscaling’ exactly means. Consideringrnthe high-end computing technologies involved, data centers arerngenerally large-scaled but not necessarily Hyperscale.

rnITrngiants like Google, Amazon, and Microsoft have built enormousrncomplexes over hundreds of acres of land and housing thousands ofrncomputing resources. This has changed the way we define ‘Scaling’rnwhen it comes to data centers. We say Hyperscale Datacenters are thernfuture because they provide unmatched scalability to handle globalrnapplications that have millions of users.

rnHerernare the reasons as to why datacenters are going hyper-scale:

rnRisingrnPopularity of Cloud and Big Data:

rnThernrising popularity of cloud computing and big-data have pushedrndatacenters to go Hyperscale. A recent survey conducted by Ciscornstates, big data will consume around 30% of Datacenter storage.rnWhereas, 95% of data center operations will be consumed by cloudrncomputing traffic. The survey also states that around 50% of cloudrnhosting companies will have to move towardsrnHyperscale architecture by 2021.

rnEvolutionrnof IoT and Consumer Devices:

rnThernhuge amounts of data generated by consumer usage is a big addition tornthe already existing data from biometric devices, sensors, healthcarerndevices, geospatial applications, gaming apps and more. The problemrnis managing such huge amounts of data, which involves buildingrnscalable storage and processing it. Hyperscale cloudserver providers give companies the much-neededrnscalability, availability, and performance when they want to upgradernto newer technologies. Companies can easily integrate machinernlearning, AI, and advanced analytics to their businesses.

rnCostrnEfficiency:

rnHyperscalerndatacenters provide improved performance, which in turns save time,rneffort and money for the users. Companies that optrnfor hyper-scale infrastructurernfrom Cloud service providers have seen major cost savings in terms ofrnsupport costing, power and space benefits.

rnAtrnpresent the Indian data center market only contributes to about 3% ofrnthe total Hyperscale market around the globe. As the demands continuernto increase, we will see a rise in hyper-scale cloud hostingrncompanies in India too. Considering the extremely price sensitivernIndia market, cost-efficiency drives more customers automatically.

rnEnergyrnEfficiency:

rnApartrnfrom going hyper-scale,rndatacenters also need to go Green and energy efficient in today’srntimes. Datacenters are becoming more energy efficient with therninclusion of smart technologies like AI and Machine Learning.rnMoreover, IT leaders like Amazon, Microsoft, Google, and IBM havernbuilt their data centers near renewable energy sources.
