Not only will the emergence of 5G boost the deployment of colocation services , but the rapid uptake of AI computing will change the way we use colocation centres . Discussing this , Storrar said , “ AI computing-as-a-service will be a key industry driver in the next few years , with low latency and 24 / 7 support needed for supporting AI assistants and software updates ; for example with the growth of connected cars .”
What is clear is that the uptake of colocation services is not expected to slow any time soon .
“ Increasing numbers of businesses , from corporates through to SMEs , are choosing to integrate on-premise , colocation , cloud and edge delivery options ,” said Storrar .
