Digital infrastructure is at the heart of global economic and social development. Thus, the modern data center is an important driver of both. The following will discuss the most important trends affecting the data center industry 2023.

1) 5G and Deployment

Data centers must adapt and enable the deployment of 5G networks and high-speed connectivity tech.

2) Customized Accelerators and Hardware

Data centers’ deployment of customized accelerators and hardware, including GPUs, TPUs, and FPGAs, for optimizing the infrastructure performance for specific applications and workloads.

3) Data Localization & Sovereignty

Data centers must comply with increasingly stringent data sovereignty and localization regulations, leading to more regional and local data center locations.

Data centers must comply with increasingly strict data localization and sovereignty, resulting in more local and regional data centers. 

4) Edge Computing

Data centers will transition to the edge of networks to decrease latency and increase processing speeds for IoT devices and other solutions.

5) HPC (High-Performance Computing)

Data centers will support HPC workloads more significantly, advanced data analytics, financial modeling, and scientific simulations.

6) Hybrid & Multi-cloud Strategies

Data centers will implement both infrastructures of hybrid and multi-cloud configurations to attain greater flexibility, cost optimization, and data redundancy.

7) Immersive Tech

The growth of AR (augmented reality), VR (virtual reality), and MR (mixed reality) will drive data centers to keep up with rapidly rising data processing and storage requirements.

8) Increasing AI & ML Traction

AI (artificial intelligence) and ML (machine learning) will play a more significant part in data center operations, including data analysis, infrastructure management, and security.

9) Liquid Cooling Tech

As power needs and server densities grow, data centers will increasingly implement liquid cooling tech for greater heat management efficiency.

Part 2 will continue discussing the most critical data center trends of 2023.
