5 reasons the enterprise data center will never die
Despite predictions about its demise, the enterprise data center is alive and well, as strategic on-prem use cases remain and data center tech modernises.
In 2019, Gartner analyst Dave Cappuccio issued the headline-grabbing prediction that by 2025, 80% of enterprises will have shut down their traditional data centers and moved everything to the cloud.
A lot has gone down since 2019, and Gartner’s latest guidance on the topic comes from John-David Lovelock, vice president analyst,who says, “It’s not as though the data center is going away. The enterprise data center is here to stay. There’s still enough spending by enterprises on servers, licensed software, and the skill sets they need to maintain and operate the environment that currently exists.”
