Hyperscale and 5G

By 2025, the digital universe is expected to reach 175 zettabytes.

The numbers are staggering, but the hyperscale ecosystem is rising to the challenges in meeting the insatiable demand for memory, bandwidth, computing power, storage, and speed. At the same time, cloudification is blurring the proverbial lines between networks and applications, while 5G technologies are pushing more intelligence to the edge of the network. The hyperscale ecosystem and the breakthrough technologies accompanying it are turning these unprecedented challenges into opportunities for operators worldwide.

Hyperscale use cases

The primary 5G use case categories of Ultra Reliable Low Latency Communication (URLLC), Enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB), and Massive Machine Type Communication (mMTC) frame a variety of new verticals with unique requirements and performance expectations for latency, densification, bandwidth, speed, and other essential characteristics. Despite the requisite cloudification and redistribution of intelligence from the core to the edge, hyperscale data centers will continue to play a pivotal role in the scalability, SLA conformance, and network efficiency that supports these verticals.
