DataCenter Knowledge, Thursday, January 2nd, 2025
Christopher Tozzi explores five cloud computing trends set to shape data centers in 2025 - from AI's energy impact to the rise of quantum services.
More than a few folks - including some right here on Data Center Knowledge - have offered predictions about cloud computing trends to watch in 2025. Most such predictions articles discuss the cloud for the cloud's sake, focusing on topics like new types of public cloud services and cloud architecture trends.
I'm here to offer a 2025 cloud computing predictions piece with a different angle: One that centers on the cloud's impact on data centers. And I'm not talking here just about the data centers that host cloud infrastructure, but rather the data center industry as a whole.
So, keep reading for my take on what's ahead in the realm of the cloud, and what it means for data centers everywhere.
