“ Data centres are the computing backbone of businesses worldwide ”
PETER CHAPMAN CEO AND PRESIDENT , IONQ
act as powerful co-processors , working alongside classical systems on the specific computational tasks that they can do faster and better than classical systems , much like GPU clusters are used today .”
By incorporating infrastructure to host these computers into their facilities , data centre providers will be able to provide customers with better services to improve their businesses .
It is key that data centres evolve to facilitate these computers as businesses can tackle wide-scale and complex problems such as financial risk management , drug discovery , macroeconomic modelling and molecular modelling with this technology .
Chapman explained : “ Data centres are the computing backbone of businesses worldwide , and already , quantum computing is demonstrating how its unique capabilities can transform vital tasks like machine learning .”
“ Quantum computers ’ ability to optimise complex networks may indeed become helpful one day in streamlining future data centres ,” he added .
McKinsey estimated that the global market value of the quantum computing market will reach $ 1 trillion by 2035 . With this huge growth , particularly only a few years ago this technology was considered nascent , businesses in many sectors have started to take advantage of its capabilities .
To remain the “ computing backbone ” of businesses , data centres need to respond to the changing computational needs of its customers . technologymagazine . com 73
