Most organizations now live in a multi-cloud world. Workloads can run on-premises one day and then in the cloud the next, only to return back to on-premises soon after. A challenge for organizations looking for this type of workload mobility is the differences between the infrastructures. As explained in prior blogs, current on-premises solutions, despite attempts to make them more cloud-like, haven’t worked. Most vendors forget that the public cloud is more than just a business model it is an actual way of doing business. On-premise solutions should mirror the flexibility – both in technology and economic – of the public cloud and best approach to achieve this is by leveraging composable infrastructure.

As the wireless industry moves toward 5G, mobile solution providers are gravitating toward distributed architectures, pushing computing tasks normally processed in a centralized location or the cloud to the edge of the information path. IoT Edge technology applies that same principle, relying on connected devices to move various functionalities closer to the points of the network where data is generated.

Competition by digital native companies and the onslaught of data coming from connected devices and applications is changing how organizations do business. And it’s altering what data centers need to be and do. The vast amount of data these facilities need to contend with is a major factor driving data center change. Indeed, estimates suggest that data center workloads with more than double between 2014 and next year.
