We will witness a continuation of last year’s data center movements and more in 2022 because the pandemic and its effects have had a deeper influence on our lives than we imagined at the beginning of 2021.

Last year, we witnessed the fast progress of cloud migration. More edge data centers are also being created. IoT and “smart everything” is driving cloud movements, and IoT usage will continue to rise. AI has become more important in processing increasingly huge volumes of data for latency-sensitive applications. Finally, the necessity to process more data faster pushed the development of the single-mode fiber.

Many individuals anticipated to be back in blended work settings by the middle of 2021, yet we are still mostly adopting remote work setups. Indeed, remote work may become permanent for many knowledge workers, at least part of the time.

We will now go deeper into the 5G, IoT, AI/ML, and remote work trends.

6 Data Center Trends

1. 5G will keep on elevating.

Service providers and private organizations will keep assessing the most practical methods of increasing capacity and capabilities in 5G implementation plans. In terms of the data center, 5G provides quicker access to information, which will push more edge data center construction. As more data becomes latency-sensitive and demands faster access, we will see a shift away from the large core, small edge data center design towards one consisting of a smaller core and larger edge.

Cloud core 5G will considerably boost data center construction in private firms. If you can develop 5G on cloud architecture privately with local radios in the cloud, you will have a very data-heavy, latency-sensitive application. This need will push the faster development of data centers and edge data centers. This 5G trend will begin in 2022, and it will last for several years as enterprises negotiate the right to utilize the 5G spectrum from carriers.

2. IoT will rise steadily.

The rise of IoT reveals no indications of stopping. According to Statista, the global number of IoT devices will nearly triple from 8.74 billion in 2020 to more than 25.4 billion in 2030. We anticipate further significant commercial investments in IoT. Managers are looking more closely at how they can operate their businesses more efficiently – for example, streamlining shipping – and adding sensors in the proper places can assist with that endeavor.

Everything leads back to data when it comes to enabling IoT and smart things. Consider all the little data points involved in something as basic as a door sensor. When is it open, when is it closed, is it locked or unlocked, who opened it or who locked it? Increase that by the number of sensor applications (temperature, occupancy, lighting, water consumption, and so on). That infrastructure is all housed in the data center.

Furthermore, we are witnessing the growing amounts of data sensitive to time and must be handled at the edge. Hence, the IoT is fuelling the expansion of edge data centers. Today, public cloud providers are doing most of the edge buildouts, and other providers are establishing edge data centers for latency-sensitive applications like video. (Consider the rise in streaming video services as an essential driver of this development.) In fact, video applications – entertainment, security monitoring, data mining, and safety, for example – will have the most significant influence from IoT in the data center. Instead of evaluating static data or photographs, businesses must save that data and act on it in real time.

3. Cloud migration will persist.

People are flocking to the cloud because of its scalability and low cost. In late 2021, HPE claimed a 46 percent rise in year-over-year orders for its GreenLake cloud platform, while AWS recorded a 40 percent increase. Renting and scaling something in days versus planning and developing something in years is a convincing argument for the cloud. The architecture for both public and private clouds will expand. Large organizations will utilize a hybrid strategy, while smaller businesses will rely only on the public cloud.

The reason for gradual growth is compliance — data security and compliance limitations. As an illustration, organizations and governments have compliance laws concerning preserving some data within a nation or on-site locations, or protecting healthcare information.

4. We will increasingly depend on AI and AR.

AI and machine learning (ML) application cases paired with augmented reality (AR) will increase speedily in 2022. Facebook announced a name change and is now orienting the whole corporation around the AR-driven metaverse. AR will also be needed much more in interfaces, for B-to-C marketing, sales, training, and service applications. For example, AR for data center technicians may be linked to a task order application so that they can use a smartphone to show them which cable to repair in a switch.

The emergence of the metaverse will also enhance the use of augmented reality. In the very near future, consumers will be able to replicate a physical encounter with a virtual one. We have become accustomed to seeing each other on video, and we will become accustomed to seeing each other in augmented reality settings.

5. Single-mode fiber use will increase alongside the move to 400/800-gigabit networks.

Adoption of single-mode fiber has surged. While multimode fiber is still prevalent, single-mode fiber deployments are outpacing multimode ones. As data center bandwidth approaches 400 or 800 Gbps, we are witnessing more single-mode fiber applied in cloud and hyperscale data centers.

You may believe that because you are now at 10Gb or 100Gb, the shift to 400Gb is a long way off. However, if you total up the number of 10Gb (or faster) ports you’re responsible for maintaining, you’ll realize that the need to upgrade to 400Gb and beyond isn’t all that far away.

5. Remote work setups will be the dominant choice.

Remote work will become the norm, and IT managers are considering how to effectively prepare for it. The usage of videoconferencing for business, education, and leisure in 2021 had a significant influence on the data center, and we expect this trend to continue in 2022. As individuals record live video chats, a lot of video storage is necessary, and users demand quick, jitter-free access to that footage. This places additional strain on data centers.

As 5G, IoT, remote work, and cloud migration impose additional demands on data centers, IT managers will counteract by increasing storage, employing AI and ML to process data more quickly, constructing edge data centers, and deploying single-mode fiber to enhance speeds. Despite continued COVID and supply chain challenges, we expect a surge in data center activity as IT managers prepare for the new normal.

Challenger banks have demonstrated what’s achievable in the Financial Services sector. They have developed fresh ways of banking, trading, modeling, and handling risk. As companies that center on financial services contemplate the next five years, hybrid IT offers the greatest flexibility for generating next-generation products and services.

 

The number of clients who switch from physical to digital experiences is growing. But those digital experiences cannot just be good – they should be excellent.

 

According to a recent PwC research, clients will pay a premium of up to 16% for a more satisfactory experience, and 63% would share information in exchange for the said experience.

 

What’s good for clients is good for the enterprise. One leading international financial organization developed contemporary technologies to ‘personalize every conversation. This was the result of extensive customer research. The result was an 8-10% increase in customer spend on services and a 400% increase in retention.

 

This is a basic model, but one too many financial services organizations find it challenging to follow. Legacy systems are a given and departments may work in silos. But the intelligent use of Hybrid IT systems presents opportunities for those in all types of financial services, not just retail banking.

Hybrid IT

Hybrid IT provides financial services companies flexibility. Current on-premises data centers can synchronize with co-located data centers to permit enterprises to onboard workloads and applications quickly, minimize expenses through product innovation, and lessen risks through the highest quality standards.

 

Alongside that, advancements in Edge computing are useful for applications that are affected by latency, network security, and regulatory requirements – ideal for financial services companies.

 

All this means is that enterprises can yield products and services that don’t just satisfy but surpass consumer expectations.

 

As the economy persists to redirect towards digital, it feeds the data economy. IDC foresees that this “global datasphere” will increase to more than five-fold between 2018 and 2025, from 33 zettabytes (ZB) to 175 ZB.

 

Flourishing Hybrid IT tends to offer cost savings and efficiencies, but it also streamlines IT infrastructure management for financial services companies, allowing them to adjust at speed, and adjust to today’s fast-paced business cycles.

 

Sammy Zoghlami, SVP Sales, EMEA at Nutanix  points out, “Old rigid forms of infrastructure fail to meet the needs of businesses that are focused on their customers.” In addition, a Gartner research study suggests that 30% of digital business projects are impaired by subpar customer experience. Zoghlami says it pays to position, “the technology team and its infrastructure choices right at the heart of the bottom line and brand perception of every business, every day.”

 

Likewise, as transformation is an ongoing system that does not stop, the need for data centers to be flexible and agile is crucial. Mishandled digital transformation today will leave your company unprepared for whatever’s coming tomorrow.

Latency, Connectivity, and the Edge

Latency is of paramount importance to financial services organizations and it’s not hard to see why. Just 5 minutes of lag could cost $20m, assuming each millisecond costs around $4m across dealings according to a report by the Tabb Group.

 

This means that latency is less about efficiency and more about profitability.

 

Innovations like Edge computing can give many financial establishments the upper hand by fetching the analysis closer to the data, diminishing latency, and boosting your competitive edge.

 

Edge computing has been expanded to handle the extensive inpouring of data from the everyday world. Edge approaches have already been developed in places like ATMs and banking apps. 

 

Stephan Fabel, director of product at Canonical, states, “Only by reducing network latency can the next generation of customer-facing services be realized within bank branches, at ATMs, and point-of-sale services.”

 

He says Edge computing may nowadays have more applicability for investment banking, the industry that will, “look to capitalize on this opportunity, using advanced analytics, enabled by Artificial Intelligence and machine learning, to process huge amounts of data on the Edge, and better predict market behaviors.”

 

By moving to Edge computing, financial services companies can crunch data more rapidly for faster and more suitable insights. In addition, as limitations related to the opening and closing of markets begin to deteriorate, clients, businesses, and traders will be able to drive markets at any moment of the day or night, and reduced latency will be an important consideration.

 

Speed is not just applicable for traders. One scenario of how details are so important to assembling a positive and persuasive customer experience comes from website load times. Google penalizes websites that load slowly. If a website takes more than 2 seconds to load, customers catch it at once. In addition, the bounce rate grows extraordinarily the longer a page takes to load, up by 32%, as the load time increases from 1 to 3 seconds.

 

The details matter. And it is the underlying infrastructure that supplies financial services enterprises with the power to handle the details and give consumers more satisfactory experiences.

Start Building a Flexible and Future-proof IT

This move to dispersed networks at the Edge positively impacts applications affected by latency, network security, and regulatory conditions. Processes done at the Edge need simple and quick procedures, remote monitoring and management, dependability, environmental protection, and security.

 

Panduit has a unique position in delivering Edge infrastructure with pre-configured choices that put the right components in the right enclosures for the application. Pre-configured, smart products and solutions empower and sustain remote monitoring and management, cabling, and connectivity for reliable performance, no matter the location.

CommScope’s Morne Erasmus explains what IoT, 5G and smart cities all have in common.

 

Read any tech news story today and chances are high that you’ll see something concerning IoT, 5G or smart cities. These are all hot topics, but did you know all of them have CommScope in common?

 

To make things “smart” and improve overall efficiency, we connect IoT devices through a network to the cloud (and each other).

 

Thus, anything “smart” requires connectivity, both wired and wireless, at least in most cases. The 5G networks of the future can bring refined connectivity to these edge IoT devices with higher speeds, more machine-to-machine connections, and extremely low latencies – enabling a brand new generation of applications and use cases that we haven’t yet thought of.

 

Once we connect all the eyes and ears (IoT sensors) of the world to the data center brain, we can begin generating intelligent information to drive new analytics and services. As well, more processing power is shifting to the edge, with the deployment of MEC (Mobile Edge Computing) moving closer to the particular endpoints and users to enable lower-latency applications.

All of these IoT edge devices and MECs need a home near to the users, that is why we are seeing city streetlights morphing into smart poles.

Streetlights are uniquely spaced throughout the city; they provide power and altitude and are prepared for remodeling with LED replacements. Today, cities are eyeing 2 kinds of smart poles for replacing legacy streetlights:

  • IoT streetlight pole – A streetlight pole can support public Wi-Fi deployments, environmental sensors, gunfire detection and LED lighting control upgrades. Adding IoT edge devices transforms humble streetlight poles into smart IoT poles.
  • Telco pole – These are the typical small cell poles deployed by carriers or neutral hosts to support cellular connectivity in dense areas. These poles are designed for connectivity and will play a crucial role in 5G mmWave deployments. By adding IoT devices, simple telco poles become smart telco poles. With telco poles, the connectivity backbone delivering a path between the edge and also the cloud is already established, thereby enabling quicker deployments. Thanks to the larger type factor of small cell equipment, physical constraints should be an early and primary guideline for aesthetic concealment in cities.

It should be noted that smart poles are a part of a smart ecosystem and no single company can go at this alone. We are constantly asked if CommScope has any plans to create IoT sensors, software, apps or services for smart poles and our answer is “no, we need an ecosystem.” put simply, these interconnected products and services require multiple players to work harmonical to offer complex services.

 

This is why the industry must support an open ecosystem that enables customers to decide on their own edge devices, software, and cloud providers. This is notably important because of the long lifecycle (decades) of public projects compared to typical enterprise (years) engagements. Additionally, regulatory guidelines should also be considered.

 

At CommScope, we offer the physical layer for smart poles and do that exceptionally well. This starts with the fiber and copper solutions connecting all the racks inside a data center. From there, we offer outside fiber solutions to connect these data centers to the central offices (head ends) for the carriers and to the business/home or macro/metro cell tower. At these endpoints, we usually see the conversion from wireline to licensed or unlicensed spectrum wireless.

 

These wireless networks also are experiencing constant changes where licensed (4G/5G) and unlicensed (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, LoRa, etc.) are commencing to converge. For instance, smart buildings are expected to produce reliable cellular coverage within the building along with ubiquitous Wi-Fi and support for IoT wireless networks. Add the upcoming CBRS private networking play and we shortly realize we are building multiple networks under one roof – all delivering ones and zeros to endpoints. How can all these networks converge in the future?

 

By providing the connectivity piece in this advanced puzzle, CommScope adds tremendous value to the client. we will still build out our ecosystem so we can provide complete solutions with our partners. So, the next time you read something regarding IoT, 5G or smart city projects, know that we at CommScope are providing the wired and wireless connectivity to make the world even smarter with our #smartcityconnectivity

Philippines is becoming one of the emerging tech regions in Asia as strong public investments are expected to support the country’s economic growth. More than ever, the Philippine Government recognizes the need for strengthening efforts to widen the reach of ICT in the Philippines. In line with this, P5.2 billion is allocated for the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) for 2020 to support its efforts in rolling out interconnectivity and data security programs.

mec_ict2020_wifiinfrastructure Where is the Philippine ICT Heading in 2020 min

Of the overall budget, P1.1 billion will be used to install free WiFi in public places. Some P280 million will be used to fund free Wi-Fi facilities in state universities and colleges while P196 million will be for the National Broadband Plan.

Furthermore, it is also envisioned that around P295 million is needed on creating the National Government Data Center (NGDC) which will serve as the physical infrastructure that will interconnect government agencies through centralized data centers, servers, and storage facilities.

The Market Potential of ICT in the Philippines

According to the 2015 Frost & Sullivan report, there is going to be a shift in total spending in the ASEAN IOT Market. Singapore, the undisputed leader with 44.25% of total IoT spending, will drop by close to the 50%

Singapore 2015

Considering that the Philippines is a country with a young population that is in the process of building its ICT market, it is poised at creating a government, as well as companies, that are actively looking for partners in the ICT space.

Key Areas in ICT Development:

Back in 2014, Manufacturing and Logistics has the biggest share of spending in ICT. However, the sectors of banking, healthcare and smart city hold a lot of promise for future investments of ICT.

Banking

In a study done by the World Bank, it is said that 69% of Filipinos did not have bank accounts in 2014. This factor, combined with the rise of online shopping, presents a gigantic opportunity for e-wallet operators in the ICT space, as they could easily claim roughly two-thirds of the Philippine population as potential customers.

Healthcare

Meanwhile, in the latest Philippine Statistics Authority report, health-related expenditures pose an 8.3% increase in total spending in 2018 compared to the previous year contributing 4.6% to the country’s GDP. In effect, the Philippine government has been also actively looking at ICT services for healthcare solutions in an effort to provide a sufficient level of health care, especially to rural areas and spread-out island communities.

Smart Cities and Infrastructure

Smart Cities are an important component in growing digital economies, as it incorporates sustainable growth and deep technological integration into the country as well as giving substantial economic boost. The Philippines have planned for multiple smart city projects that will be launched over the next decade such as the New Manila Bay City of Pearl and New Clark City being the core developments. The New Clark City alone is predicted to contribute an additional USD$31 billion to the country’s GDP.

Factors Driving ICT Spending Increases in 2020

upgrading-infrastructures Where is the Philippine ICT Heading in 2020 min

Upgrading Infrastructure

We are all aware that the world of technology is fuelled by continuous advancements. Upgrading ICT infrastructures, which remains to be the main driver of ICT spending increase, is an imperative for businesses because keeping legacy ICT infrastructures can expose your business to risks like system downtimes, decreased productivity, security issues, and increased cost.

Growing Security Concerns

The threat of cyberattacks remains as one of the biggest challenges that the Philippines is facing nowadays. The growing number of aggressive and malicious hackers targeting businesses is not to be shrugged off. A study by Frost & Sullivan states that a large-sized organization in the Philippines can possibly incur an economic loss of $7.5 million, more than 200 times higher than the average economic loss for a midsized organization ($35,000). Organizations should invest in a robust unified threat management system that protects their most valuable assets, data and information.

mec_ict2020_growingsecurityconcerns Where is the Philippine ICT Heading in 2020 min
mec_ict2020_employeegrowth Where is the Philippine ICT Heading in 2020 min

Employee Growth

The abundance of human and talent resources in the Philippines presents an under-tapped national asset that is ripe for mobilization. Building a thriving ICT ecosystem requires a mechanism to complement this opportunity with a conducive policy and business environment that can optimize productivity and increase competitiveness. For instance, ICT innovations, such as higher broadband speeds first introduced through the BPO sector’s rigorous global requirements, are slowly becoming mainstream requirement in other industries like banking, education, the government, and even at home.

Ready to Get Started?

Ready to
Get Started?

In the end, we at MEC look forward to how the private and government sectors will strengthen the partnership and move past industry boundaries to build on the momentum of digital growth that will promote balanced regulation, empowered innovative endeavors, and boosted competitiveness for inclusive growth of all Filipinos.

Quantum: The “Chill Factor” in a Secured Backup and Archive Solution https://mec.ph/quantum-news/chill-factor/ Thu, 15 Aug 2019 08:55:41 +0000 https://mec.ph/?p=37799 Organizations nowadays should perceive their data to see how hot or cold it’s to leverage the acceptable storage solution that’s efficient yet price effective.

The post Quantum: The “Chill Factor” in a Secured Backup and Archive Solution appeared first on MEC Networks Corporation.

The topic of data growth and security continues to be a challenge for several organizations. The question to “air-gap” or not to “air-gap” is systematically being posed across all industries as they think about a solid backup and archive strategy. Once it involves how and where to invest, air-gapping becomes the last item on the checklist, and understandably so. Data keeps growing and whereas budgets might increase slightly, IT resources are forecasted to remain flat, according to IDC. With such a big amount of avant-garde technologies out there, it appears tape is shrinking in its usage. However, tape’s distinctive ability (despite its advanced age) to morph into a sustainably green, secure, and extremely cost-efficient alternative to different backup and archive solutions permits it to remain relevant – even over cloud alternatives. I’d say a rebound may be on the horizon…

 

So what’s the chill factor?

 

As in weather, the wind chill will verify how cold it feels on your skin once the wind is factored in. Likewise, organizations nowadays should perceive their data to see how hot or cold it’s to leverage the acceptable storage solution that’s efficient yet price effective. Much of the data in additional expensive primary storage is cold. Cold data is just sometimes used data. IDC estimates that about 400th of the 7.5 ZB of data are commercially connected and of that, about 60 minutes are cold data or data with expected retrieval of larger than thirty days. This data may be a good candidate for tape storage in your data center or within the cloud. And hey, cold storage doesn’t need a great deal of power and cooling.

Security

 

Tape continues to be the de facto to secure your cold storage/long-term data. Fact is, the physical air-gap between tapes and the network merely doesn’t allow malware/ransomware or hackers to break through to reach offline data. The goal of these evil agents is to destabilize and destroy the ability to self-recover and then demand a ransom. We’ve heard several stories and firms withdrawing from business because of the vulnerability of keeping all data online. Whereas any online data is destroyed by an eventual hacker, the data stored firmly on tape is untouched with its integrity intact.

 

Considering each cost and damage created by these attacks, and the astronomical hit on your resources and valuable time that would be spent on managing important data, there are quite enough reasons to make the best protection of your crucial data on tape. Sure, you’ll keep cold data on hot disk, however, the simplest approach is to tier it off to the foremost cost-efficient alternative – tape. That’s why we extremely suggest the 3-2-1-1 approach to protection. At the end of the day, what matters is “are you able to recover?”. If your data is chilled, there’s no reason to tremble.

 

Economics

 

Determining the worth of your data can assist you to perceive the ultimate storage solution needed. Never underestimate the worth of your historical data. We live in a world where our “always online” approach to life opens the door to a barrage of threats. The great news is, economics is on your facet. Tape remains the cheapest price for storage on the market nowadays, and the predictable future. At less than $50/TB, as long as data is preserved on tape, it’ll provide you with a very cheap total cost of ownership (TCO).

 

Taking these factors into consideration can bring a tiering approach to your backup and archive strategy and enable the right protection approach for the kind of data in need of saving, cooling, and securing.

The IT industry does a wonderful job in advance positioning the next nice innovation. We’ve been simply a step away from the internet of things (IoT) for over 20-years, AI (Artificial Intelligence) has been around for as long as we can remember, and solid-state memory is about to take over from disk drives and tape, speeding access, saving space, energy and resources. Maturity of a technology is mapped using a ‘hype cycle’ idea model, in easy terms… as time moves forward the ‘hype’ becomes reality and ‘quantum leaps’ are ever nearer.

 

Preparing for tomorrow’s future is crucial for business survival

 

In data center network communications, multiple technologies are evolving to deliver growth of emerging, data-intensive applications from e-health and media and content delivery, to sensor connected devices and automotive vehicles.

 

With volumes of data set to grow exponentially, the tactic of gathering, storing, processing, and transmitting across the data center is seriously hindered without an infrastructure that meets latency and bandwidth performance requirements currently, and for the predictable future.

 

Indeed, once technologies like AI and Machine Learning (ML) become common, individual information sets can run to 100s of terabytes. Meanwhile, M2M data is predicted to outstrip enterprise and personal knowledge within the next 5years. This increase in data traffic is already making bottlenecks among traditional data centers, with each gateway and connection reducing the general performance potential of the system.

 

With an understanding of the opportunities on the market and also the technologies influencing change we can set up better and prepare our structures to work at the foremost acceptable levels. We can learn from the hyper-scale designers who are planning systems with equipment manufacturers to optimize necessities for use, to draw these aggressive applications into the cloud. 

 

Each of those technological advances reflects the rise of a worldwide digital economy that is making a demand for larger network speed and performance from the internet backbone right into the core of the data center.

 

Key challenges for the infrastructure network are the ever-growing demand for quicker speed – 10GE, 25GE, 40GE, 50GE and 100GE nowadays, with 200GE – 400GE with expected rollout as early as 2019. In conjunction with new network architectures designed to maximize performance, the physical infrastructure should be designed to enable fast and seamless deployment of the latest switching technologies.

 

Data bottlenecks can still be a growing issue if infrastructure and data center businesses target short-term fixes. Network infrastructure is as important as data center power and cooling, without appropriate investment it may considerably reduce each life cycle and ROI.
