Sustainability will become non-negotiable
Sustainable IT Infrastructure will become a mandatory requirement for most businesses in 2022 , driven by pressure from customers , partners and increasing regulation .
Reducing environmental footprint is already a top five challenge and will be the second biggest challenge by 2030 , according to Telehouse research .
As a result , monitoring of environmental footprint of IT operations will increase and steps taken to reduce carbon impact in 2022 , particularly when it comes to infrastructure strategy .
Edge Computing and colocation are already considered the most sustainable infrastructure models and as more enterprises adopt hybrid and multi-cloud , adoption of colocation will rise as companies seek to offload sustainability responsibilities and reduce carbon impact of cloud connectivity by connecting to multiple cloud services through a single , dedicated private connection from a data centre .
Mark Pestridge , Senior Director Customer Experience at Telehouse Europe , said : “ 2021 was another significant year for IT infrastructure , driven largely by response to the pandemic .
" As things settle in 2022 , the focus will move away from building infrastructure foundations , to tackling issues such as data growth and sustainability , which in turn will further drive the need for colocation . Having the right partner to help future-proof and remove risk from IT infrastructure will be critical to success .” ◊
