WHAT IS A DATA CENTRE?
Data Centres (DCs) are structure, or group of structures, dedicated to the centralized accommodation, interconnection and operation of information technology and network telecommunications equipment providing data storage, processing and transport services together with all the facilities and infrastructures for power distribution and environmental control together with the necessary levels of resilience and security required to provide the desired service availability.
WHY ARE DATA CENTRE CERTIFICATION AND QUALITY CONTROL IMPORTANT?
According to Cisco Global Cloud Index, data center storage utilization is estimated as 1.3 ZB (zettabyte) in 2021 for data stored and 1.2 ZB per month for data in motion; the amount of annual global data center traffic is to reach 20.6 ZB per year by 2021.
- Looking to the future, the data center industry will not only grow, but become increasingly important for six reasons:
- Today, 75% of business workloads remain within enterprise data center. By 2025, it’s expected that 50% of business workloads will still be there.
- Applications of AI are entering the mainstream more and more meaning data center will need to have the capacity to react accordingly.
- Indonesia keeps improving their policy and infrastructure towards the digital era, welcoming the data service providers and to push the information to be stored locally. This means local reliable and secure data center infrastructure is heavily required.
- The Reserve Bank has already told payment system operators to ensure data localization in near future. The idea is to give lawmakers greater control over companies to ensure they are compliant with laws.
- Edge computing will complement traditional data center business.
- Finally, Quantum Computing will open up entirely new opportunities and possibilities as well as new challenges for traditional data center business in the future.
