Key highlights of the report include:

  • Data center managers are managing more data than ever before. Forty-nine percent of respondents stated that they’ll be managing at least 1 PB of data, while 24% will be managing between 5-50 PB of data.
  • Approximately half of respondents’ report seeing both a general strain on supply chains and pandemic-related supply chain issues. One in four report supply chains challenges have caused outages.
  • Sustainability is a key focus. Seventy-eight percent of respondents are seeing increased usage of renewable energy utilization in their data centers, while 87% believe water efficiency will continue to grow in importance.
  • Most data centers will be deploying edge infrastructure. Today, 58% of respondents have implemented less than five edge locations, however, 92% indicated they will have between six and ten new locations between now and 36 months.
  • Software-defined solutions will have major impacts on edge infrastructure. Almost half of respondents (46%) report their organizations have currently implemented edge compute capacity and just over a third (38%) are looking at software-defined power solutions to better manage capacity and power.
  • A majority of respondents (59%) are seeing a repatriation of workloads from cloud computing back to on-premise data centers or colocations. This is driven by cost concerns, reliability & real-time performance needs, latency sensitivity and growing concerns around corporate data. Storage management is the most common workload being repatriated.
