Hey!
The description will follow the principle:
Device class;
What technologies have been over the past 3-5 years;
The most recent developments;
Class development forecast.
In order to write this article, the author asked experts, the main players in the market (without names and vendors), in order to form something in between opinions and forecasts. Leave your vision of the topic of the article, it will be interesting for us to find out.
Servers
The server industry has undergone major changes in terms of resource management and unit cost. Below are the main trends of recent years.
Infrastructure management automation
For a long time, technology has been moving towards making it easier for the administrator. DCIM solutions monitor the main systems of the server / data center (cooling, power supply, power distribution, etc.) The most disruptive applications can:
Assess the physical condition of the equipment and order a new one in advance;
Plan and balance server load;
Adjust the cooling system.

Edge computing will begin to displace the remnants of server rooms and data centers. Wi-Fi6 technologies will only strengthen Edge Computing. Investment forecast $ 8.3 billion.
As usual, the financial sector and operators will be the pioneers of implementation.
Infrastructure management automation
Infrastructure of any size needs constant administrator attention. In large server rooms (from 30 GCD) there are few admins (to reduce costs). And vendors have been releasing MDM solutions specifically for such organizations for a long time. The arrival of AI in these areas will relieve staff even more.
