DATA CENTRES
Faster than the speed of light
A look at data centre trends by Enrico Boscaro, application manager for data centre applications at Carel Industries.

t’s now clear to everyone that we live in a digital and “hyper-connected” world: even the tragic events we are now experiencing are revealing how the Internet
and connectivity have become an essential part of our life: continuously growing infrastructures that support, complete and at times even substitute some of our everyday actions, such as work or study.
The image above is quite significant (source International Data Corporation): it shows the evolution of what happens in one minute on the Internet as if it were one year (note the doubling of Instagram, and how Netflix almost triples its volume of interactions). Driven by IOT, analytics, etc. it is expected that by 2025, every person in the industrialised world will interact with a data centre once every 18 seconds in their lifetime.

Moreover, technological innovations happen extremely
quickly in this industry, indeed it is one of the most dynamic industries globally, with trends that change from year to year. In this regard, in January this year I attended the Kickstarter Europe conference in Amsterdam: this is a conference that has been held for several years now in the Dutch capital, a city that is also one of the main hubs for data centres in Europe, part of the so-called FLAP area (Frankfurt London Amsterdam Paris, with D for Dublin often added). It was an excellent opportunity to meet the main operators in the sector, attend many interesting presentations and share information on the major trends expected in Europe over the short- and medium-term. Here are some of the main ideas that emerged and that I find particularly interesting.
