On-Premises Data Centers Aren't Dead Or Dying - Not By A Long Shot
FOSS Force, Saturday, August 17th, 2024
Uptime Institute's survey shows that corporations are taking a hybrid approach, but that on-premises data centers remain the mission critical centerpiece of their IT environment. Following on-prem in importance are colocation facilities and public cloud.
The on-premises corporate data center is still very much a part of the data center scene, according to Uptime Institute's Global Data Center Survey 2024, and it's not expected to go anywhere in the near future. During an online briefing about the survey, Uptime's executive director of research Andy Lawrence said that the main reason the survey even asks about on-premises is because of the perception that on-prem corporate data centers are dying.
