Lately, there's been a lot of talk about decentralization with edge computing and hybrid cloud, but this week a report came out confirming what many suspected: 68% of companies plan to reduce their on-premises infrastructure in the next two years. Are physical data centers losing steam compared to distributed architectures? Maintenance costs, scalability, and even sustainability concerns are working against them. But wait, it's not all black and white: there are cases where low latency or regulatory compliance require keeping those nodes. What do you all think? Goodbye to endless racks, or a mixed strategy?
Could the traditional data centers be coming to an end?

If your company handles sensitive data but wants to cut costs, try migrating non-critical applications to the cloud or edge first. In my case, we moved our CRM and backups to a hybrid setup and saved 40% in the first year without losing speed in essential operations.
