How the Role of the Data Center Will Change in the Future

The video discusses the future of computing, focusing on the role of data centers and client devices like drones, cars, and phones. It highlights the shift of decision-making and analytics from data centers to the network's fabric to reduce latency and data transfer. The video also explores how smart devices like Amazon Echo can store routine data locally for faster access, while more complex queries are handled by the cloud. This symbiotic relationship between devices and data centers aims to enhance user experience through predictive analytics and real-time decision-making.

What is a key reason for pushing decision-making capabilities into the network's fabric?

• To reduce latency and data transfer

• To increase the size of data centers

• To make networks more complex

• To eliminate the need for data centers

How will data centers evolve according to the discussion?

• They will become obsolete

• They will focus on higher-order analytics and orchestration

• They will only store data

• They will handle all real-time decision-making

What is the relationship between data centers and networks described as?

• Competitive

• Symbiotic

• Redundant

• Independent

In the context of Amazon Echo, what type of tasks are handled locally?

• Unique and one-off queries

• Tasks requiring high computational power

• Predictable and routine tasks

• All types of queries

How does the data center contribute to handling predictable requests?

• By analyzing habits and preemptively pushing data to edge devices

• By ignoring them

• By sending all requests to the network

• By storing all data in the cloud
