The rise of IoT: the impact of IoT on data centers
The data center industry faces several challenges due to the rapidly changing landscape of technologies and the dramatic increase of data that these new technologies bring. The challenges include, but are not limited to the Internet of Things (IoT), Artifical Intelligence (AI), Edge Computing and recently, the emerging 5G technology. In this article, we focus on the impact of IoT on data centers and propose the implementation of a Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) solution as a mechanism to help address the challenges.
