Back in 2014, a Gartner report said that the Internet of Things (IoT) will pose seven challenges in the data center: sheer volume of data, server technologies, data security, the data center network, consumer privacy, need for higher availability and increased data processing requirements. If the industry is to realize the promised benefits of IoT, we must increase the ability to support more machine-to-machine communications in near-real time. GSMA, the international association for mobile technology, has specified that 5G's latency should be 1 millisecond, which is 50 times better than 4G's current 50 milliseconds. Service providers may be a bit ahead of the curve, thanks to their experience with more edge-based processing, storage and delivery systems.

2019 saw the introduction of Wi-Fi CERTIFIED 6 products, the long-awaited launch of 5G devices and services, the initial commercial rollout of shared spectrum, as well as increased global interest in private networks. These decisions will impact the ability to bring 5G benefits into connected spaces to deliver on some of the use cases including IoT, where machine-to-machine communications can enable billions of devices to send short bursts of information to other systems – bringing intelligent buildings and smart cities to life with more efficient operations and new capabilities. In 2020, the plethora of new connectivity options – Wi-Fi 6, 5G and shared spectrum – will help increase the deployment of converged IoT and OT edge devices such as IP security cameras, LED lighting and 4K/HD digital signage. With the introduction of new technologies such as Wi-Fi 6, the launch of spectrum sharing, the uptick in interest for private networks and the continued rollout of 5G networks, 2020 will offers consumers and businesses a wide range of connectivity options.

With changes and uncertainty in the global landscape – Brexit, President-elect Donald Trump, country leaders resigning – 2017 could be the year of massive change as businesses loosen their purse strings and invest, or organizations reduce spending while waiting to gauge the impact of changes. Throughout the next year, we see service providers and enterprises looking at options to building their own networks as they explore colocation (or multi tenant) options for data centers and leasing office buildings. IDC predicts that 60 percent of ICT spend will be a mix of colocation, hosted cloud and public cloud datacenters by 2018; this has been a consistent and ongoing trend for the past couple of years but we see the gap closing in 2017 as enterprises shift from ‘build you own’ to multi tenant data centers. Building owners and operators are looking at the co-existence of wireless and wireline for the coming year but will consider the new radio spectrum, both licensed and unlicensed, that is coming available as well as new technologies that enable the universal ceiling.

CommScope’s DataCenter on Demand (DCoD) Solution offered a Power Usage Effectiveness PUE of 1.05, I thought it was another marketing bravado To put it another way, PUE measures the energy efficiency, the ratio between the raw power entering the data center and the power that the IT equipment actually needs. For instance, Google and Microsoft have stated that their data centers have a PUE of 1.2, so they need a power supply 16 percent higher than the actual energy their IT equipment consumes. know how he figured out the concept of evaporative cooling (technically adiabatic refrigeration), but he started to test a simple set up of wood shavings with sprinklers above (rubber perforated tubes, nothing sophisticated) to humidify the assembly and standard fans to drive in the refreshed air.
