Data centers are the heart of the business, there is no data center, IT can not provide any level of functionality, reliability and agility. 2020 data center look like? Jack Wallen share his thoughts on the coming year's data center and edge computing, Kubernetes, 5G, container security and other aspects.
The rise edge computing
More and more companies rely on the Internet of Things (IoT) equipment to provide services. Therefore, we must rethink the network architecture. Almost every enterprise companies use various forms of cloud, they rely on a centralized network. But the network is far from ideal for the deployment of IoT devices such, which is why many companies will turn to edge computing reasons.
Edge computing is a technique example, the core functionality toward a particular location may be required - typically located at the network edge. This allows "in-place" data collection and analysis, rather than the data back to a central cloud computing. Edges can be calculated to maximize operational efficiency, improve performance and safety, and to minimize downtime. 2020 edge computing will present tremendous growth at the enterprise level.
Simplify deployment tool Kubernetes
Currently, Kubernetes need to do a lot of work to do right, to deploy more complex. This complexity is likely to improve in 2020, as it has a number of tools have been developed to simplify deployment and management Kubernetes cluster.
These new tools will enable the deployment of Kubernetes clusters easier, most people will be able to speed, reliability, and security is more important is to deploy its own cluster. In addition, these tools will likely are open source.
Nearly 90% of the traffic data center will focus on the cloud
By the end of 2020, almost all data center traffic in the 90% are likely to focus on the cloud. This will be a combination of private cloud, public cloud and hybrid cloud, partly because of AWS, continues to grow Google Cloud Platform and Azure and other services, these platforms and container cluster will be used to provide applications and services.
As more and more social networking services rely heavily on the cloud, almost predictable conclusion that the 2020 can easily become a cloud to become a network and become a cloud network a year.
Deployment of security threats around the container
Container has not disappeared, along with their popularity, security threats are also increasing. By the end of 2020, we will see at least a large-scale deployment of security breaches around the container. This damage may be due to poor security company never mirrored configuration or network deployment vessel caused; either way, all this destruction would draw attention to the safety of the vessel, resulting in some type of container produced security Alliance, and the use of technology to jointly resist.
More reliance on open source
No open source, there would not be many enterprise-class technologies. In the coming year, we will see the data center reliance on open source reaches a critical point. Even now, it is difficult to find a somewhat without the use of open source data center. By the end of 2020, which it will become more apparent.
In short, more data centers will depend on the container, automation, cloud computing and other technological edge core open, which means that Linux will be the only cloud advocates, will rule the data center. Like CentOS 8, so that the operating system RHEL, SLES and Ubuntu Server market share will be greatly increased.
5G Infrastructure
With the introduction of OEM manufacturers and network equipment at the same time before the end of 2020, 5G will become the new standard. This means that any extension edge computing company profile 5G will find this new technology is essential for successful adoption.
5G is expected to speed 10 times faster than 4G network, and per square mile can support millions of devices, so remote sensor 5G will instantly update the device connected. Improve real-time processing capability means that people will be able to handle the deployment and management of 5G technologies. For any use of things and edge computing companies, 5G is not only a reality, but also a necessity.
Automated container cluster
The following year, the dependence on artificial intelligence (AI) will be greater automation. For use with CI / CD pipes AI has become very complex. By the end of 2020, we may see self-programming, self-healing cluster deployment. By the correct combination of components associated with the cluster, the system can create a container, the container system can automatically deploy updates or rollback if the update fails. Developers will provide automated container cluster is almost SkyNet quality on the basis of these systems.
Require new skills
As a result of newer and more sophisticated technology, IT field will become more competitive, IT practitioners need to understand and learn more new skills, including Kubernetes, the integration of artificial intelligence, cloud mixing vessel safety, edge computing, Linux and many more.
