The global transformation is rapidly scaling the demands for flexible computer, networking, and storage. Future workloads will necessitate infrastructures that can seamlessly scale to support immediate responsiveness and widely diverse performance requirements. The exponential growth of data generation and consumption, the rapid expansion of cloud-scale computing and 5G networks, and the convergence of high-performance computing (HPC) and artificial intelligence (AI) into new usages requires that today’s data centers and networks evolve now— or be left behind in a highly competitive environment.
