A hyperscale future ahead for the data center

In this day and age, Inspur says data centers are moving towards more structural, modular and intensified upgrades and modifications.

The company’s latest launch has been specifically designed for public cloud users, cloud service providers and telecommunication operators.

SmartRack 4.5 is based on the 2.0 integrated infrastructure, with a newly added SAS, PCI-E switching technology.

Inspur says these elements will help to centralize external IT resources and allow the reconstruction and pooling of internal resources.

The Rise of the Build-to-Suit Cloud Data Center

Cloud computing is changing data center development, with action now shifting to a build-to-suit model in which cloud builders pre-lease entire buildings for themselves, representing 12 megawatts or more of new capacity. Wholesale data center providers, who have previously built multi-tenant buildings and leased them one data hall at a time, are adapting their model to accommodate the build-to-suit demand.

In the latest example, CyrusOne has just acquired a building in Northern Virginia, which has already been fully leased to a hyperscale data center customer. The 130,000 square foot building will provide 12 megawatts of IT capacity for the fast-growing cloud provider.
