“Shift Toward Hyperscale and Edge Data Centers”
- Another major trend in the global DCI market is the increasing shift toward hyperscale and edge data centers, driven by the explosive growth of cloud computing, IoT, AI, and real-time applications
- Hyperscale data centers, built to support massive workloads and high-density computing, require robust interconnect solutions to ensure seamless communication between multiple locations and regions
- For instance, the rollout of 5G networks is accelerating edge computing adoption, compelling operators to establish low-latency, high-bandwidth DCI connections between central and remote data hubs
- This growing need for localized data processing and global data availability is pushing enterprises to adopt flexible, scalable DCI architectures that can support a mix of core, edge, and hyperscale environments
- The trend is fostering innovation in optical transport technologies, modular interconnect solutions, and cloud-centric connectivity platforms, shaping the future of the DCI landscape
