Why Is Cloud Technology Not The End Of Data Center Life?

Even If The Traditional Tasks Of The Data Center Are All Transferred To The Cloud, The Concept Of Many Companies Still Needs Infrastructure And Space For Equipment, So That In The Worst Case, Something Like A Traditional Data Center Is Needed.

 Sometimes it is difficult to see gradual changes in technology patterns due to their slow trends. Sometimes the “just guess …” game and then predicting what will happen in the future. So, assume that the cloud makes what some radical researchers say true and brings about fundamental change. No doubt this is interesting but is it possible for the cloud to end data centers forever?
Many companies now offer virtualization concepts extensively and try to implement virtual technologies in conjunction with Broadband Services, VPNs, and software-centric Broadband to save companies from the hassle of cabling, router configuration, and other equipment. Save connections to wide area networks. However, to what extent can companies do this so that wide area networks are fully virtualized? To achieve this, data centers must experience a fundamental change.
The Biggest Components of Enterprise Networks That Cost  Data Center Companies The idea that the cloud will eventually swallow up computer networks stems from the hypothesis that the cloud will ultimately swallow up the data center.
In this cloud-based perspective, every infrastructure and device will be connected to the cloud using the Internet, and eventually, all sites will use the cloud. In this case, there is no need for ancillary services such as MPLS virtual private networks because you can access the cloud over the Internet. You can connect to the Internet from anywhere, using what is now called a secure access service, or SASE. You can have small SASEs for remote locations or larger SASEs through which a wide range of enterprise users can connect to the applications they need hosted on the cloud. SASE’s goal is to create something like a “corporate network,” just like SD-WAN, but with the difference that it is invisible the conventional network complexities we know and gives us a network around an abstract layer.
While many CFOs may like the idea of ​​eliminating data centers, there is still no company that has fully implemented a cloud-based severe strategy. Most companies are trying to find innovative ways to modernize their old core applications that still run on data centers. Concerns about security and compliance, reliability/availability, and cost management are issues that organizational planners are highly concerned about and therefore prefer to keep data centers open.
While many believe that cloud hosting infrastructure will swallow information technology, this is not the case, and many infrastructures will exist as in the past. Suppose you have a limited number of employees, no more than 100. In that case, you can implement a local connection using an Internet gateway via Wi-Fi and Ethernet, install multiple repeaters on the network, and use several LAN switches to connect employees to Use the grid. However, as the number of employees increases, those simple, unintelligent local switches spread like weeds, making it difficult to manage traffic between the buttons and making just one small mistake to waste useless bandwidth quickly. Typically, to implement a real LAN, we need a series of switches, edge equipment, and equipment that act as the backbone.
However, in such a network, you have to manage the switches to perform intelligently. That’s why you need a suitable management mechanism that can handle everything. Cloud? It is difficult to pay attention to this issue. Because if the backbone of the site is broken, we do not have access to the Internet. In practice, we will not have access to the cloud or any of the enterprise programs. We may not share information locally because the cloud has also appeared to us as a storage device. If you use VoIP, it will not even be possible to make phone calls on the spot.
Undoubtedly, senior executives do not like such a scenario. Hence, top executives decide to keep some servers active to host local storage, share access to resources and printing, and do other routine tasks in an Internet or cloud outage. They add an IP PBX to keep the call in place, and the site is large enough to support dozens of servers scattered around the area so that if people inadvertently come in contact with them, liquids are spilled on them or disconnected. A copy of the information is available. Of course, some companies consider a place to solve this problem so that all the servers are in the same room next to each other. Due to the large number of servers in one place and the high heat they produce, the company needs an air conditioning system that manages air circulation and equipment cooling. Now we need to connect the servers based on network topology. What happened? In practice, we set up a data center to manage and sustain our business. In other words, we invented (or reinvented) the data center and got right back to the beginning of the story.
Well, could super-grid superpowers devour us? We do the switching and routing on the servers, so the cloud will not take the data center we designed out of the field in the most optimistic case.
Servers are not designed to transfer terabytes of data, and telecommunications and cable companies that carry large amounts of data are well aware of this, so they are keen to replace dedicated switches and routers with something more open. That’s why they go for complex topologies that can do this (almost real-time data transfer). Therefore, the data centers we have just invented and our staff may connect to the network through special equipment and particular topology.
Before we ignore cloud-eats-the-network as an urban myth, we need to consider another fact. We can not transfer our data center applications to the cloud, but we can move growing traffic to the cloud. These days, modernizing applications is more about building a cloud-based graphical user interface than making technical changes to applications. In this case, the cloud infrastructure collects the user traffic, customer, and partners from the Internet. It directs them to the data center through the traffic transfer corridors to access the services without any problems. In this scenario, traffic congestion and information structure within the cloud infrastructure are interconnected.
Each cloud provider has a private network that connects all of its data centers and its customers. These networks are getting bigger and bigger. For example, the Google Network must manage all web crawling, search-related activities, video, music, and advertising. The Amazon network carries a lot of video and music traffic. This direct traffic is concentrated in the cloud network and directs only essential information through the data transfer bus to the data center.
The WAN for such companies has at least 10,000 Internet connections and a data gateway between the data center and the cloud. With these interpretations, we must say that the cloud will never or at least shortly devour the network, and LANs will be with us as in the past. The only thing that changes is how the wide-area networks connect to the Internet. Therefore, any business website, anywhere, will have access to the Internet if there is a data service. SD-WAN, SASE, and the cloud are just new technologies that speed up Internet access.
