Global market research and consulting firm Frost & Sullivan analyzed the key factors companies should consider when adopting digital infrastructure, driven by the expanding adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) workloads. The advancement of AI technology is changing how companies make digital infrastructure decisions. AI workloads, such as training models, running inference, and processing large datasets, require higher performance computing power (processing capability), storage capacity, and processing speed compared to existing IT environments. Consequently, decisions regarding how to design data center capacity and where to deploy it are emerging as a core challenge in corporate infrastructure strategies. With the proliferation of advanced technology, data generation is exploding, and the expansion of digital-based work and service environments, coupled with accelerated cloud migration, is making digital infrastructure more complex. Amidst these changes, an integrated infrastructure strategy encompassing everything from securing data capacity and strategic site selection to close collaboration with partners is essential to maintain competitiveness. These changes are reshaping overall data center design and operation methods, and Frost & Sullivan analyzed the core trends in the digital infrastructure environment as follows.<\/p>\n

Core Trends in Digital Infrastructure<\/p>\n

AI Data Centers: The proliferation of AI workloads is driving increased demand for high-performance GPUs and high-density racks. Consequently, data center operators are adopting AI technologies across their infrastructure, including predictive maintenance, automated operations, server optimization, and real-time energy management, for efficient operation.<\/p>\n

Edge Infrastructure: The increasing volume of data generation is highlighting the limitations of a central data center-centric processing approach. Consequently, infrastructure such as regional facilities, hybrid hubs, and edge data centers is being expanded, especially in latency-sensitive industries like autonomous driving, industrial IoT, and remote healthcare.<\/p>\n

Power and Precision Cooling Technologies: The spread of high-density infrastructure is rapidly increasing power demand, with some data centers facing power supply limitations. As a result, the adoption of highly efficient cooling technologies for thermal management, such as liquid cooling, immersion cooling, and direct-to-chip cooling, is accelerating.<\/p>\n

Sustainability: Strengthened regulations on data center carbon emissions and growing sustainability demands are leading to expanded use of renewable energy, energy-efficient designs, and resource recycling. This is interpreted as a strategy that considers both cost reduction and compliance with environmental regulations.<\/p>\n

Data Sovereignty and Protection: As sensitive workloads move to shared and distributed environments, responding to cyberattacks and data breaches is emerging as a critical challenge. Consequently, the advancement of security technologies, such as AI-based threat detection, autonomous security, behavior-based analysis, and Zero-Trust Architecture, is rapidly progressing.<\/p>\n

Growth Opportunities from Expanding Digital Infrastructure Adoption<\/p>\n

As the demand for digital infrastructure increases, new growth opportunities are expanding, including high-density infrastructure for AI workloads, sustainable infrastructure innovation, edge processing, and specialized colocation services.<\/p>\n

Frost & Sullivan stated that identifying and appropriately adopting these changes is a crucial factor in securing a digital infrastructure strategy that aligns with growth objectives.<\/p>\n

Park Se-jun, Head of Frost & Sullivan Korea, stated, \u201cAs trends in the digital infrastructure environment and changes in operational strategies intertwine, new growth opportunities are continuously being created. Strategically designing where and how companies adopt these workloads will be key to securing future competitiveness.\u201d<\/p>\n
