Year over year, Gartner® analysts predict massive changes. Sometimes the market changes are relatively minor, but sometimes they’re the canary in the coal mine for industry upheaval. This year, one report really stood out to us as it mirrors the challenges we see our customers facing: the Hype Cycle™ for Data Center Infrastructure Technologies.

By 2028, more than 70% of enterprises will alter their data center strategies, due to limited energy supplies, a major increase from less than 5% in 2023.

You already know that implementing these decisions from leadership will be up to operations, so you’ll definitely need the insights in this in-depth report! And energy constraints are not the only pressure on IT infrastructure. Whether it’s meeting security mandates, implementing new (de)virtualization strategies, or adding new vendors; each comes with a timeline and a crazy push to try and meet it. You need a way to find the best options.

 

What’s the Hype Cycle got to do with it?

We think this Gartner Hype Cycle gives actionable insight to manage these upcoming challenges (and not just because we’re a Sample Vendor!). It covers key topics like infrastructure automation, composable infrastructure, programmable infrastructure, and more that give concrete solutions along with the predictions. By downloading the report, you’ll get a better picture of where the industry is heading and how you can prepare to adapt. It’s not just about staying up-to-date, it’s about being ready to take action.

 

Built on a strong foundation, built on bare metal

Recognition in Hype Cycles is more than just a nod to us, we feel it’s validation of our deep expertise in bare metal. This year, RackN was included in 11 Hype Cycle reports! We think such extensive inclusion underscores the effort we put into making infrastructure easier and more efficient. By focusing on real-world challenges like rapid deployments, seamless integrations, and vendor-neutral automation, we ensure that your infrastructure is ready for both the demands of today and the future.

Check the Hype Cycle out now and stay ahead of the shifts that will define the future of IT. And when it comes to implementing these strategies, remember that our teams are here to support you every step of the way.
