Schneider Electric presents the 5 IT trends for 2023

It is necessary for organizations to make an investment in technology that drives business and leads them to be at the forefront and provide their users and customers with solutions focused on meeting the needs of their businesses.

2023 comes with technological trends focused on companies. Well, the economic recovery is a fact in different markets and Latin America is not far behind. Although inflation has impacted the markets, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), forecasts, for example, that in Colombia, this factor will return to a target range between 2% and 4% between 2023 and 2024, facilitating business growth.

Taking this growth into account, it is clear that it is necessary for organizations to make an investment in technology that drives business and leads them to be at the forefront and provide their users and customers with solutions focused on meeting the needs of their businesses.

"The first thing that organizations must take into account is that they must invest in solutions that contribute to the business, that encourage them to automate processes and that make efficient use of energy and manage the data produced. With this, they will guarantee that their processes are better and that the business is really using the resources in the best way.”, explains Roberto Chavéz, SAM Business Development Transactional Manager at Schneider Electric.

To do this, Schneider Electric, world leader in automation and efficient energy management, presents the five trends that will prevail in 2023 for companies.

1. Net–Zero

As the disruptive technologies of the Internet of Things, IoT, generate a growing demand in Data Centers, it is necessary to establish and create solutions that allow us to reduce energy consumption and contribute to the environment, achieving Net Zero or Carbon Neutral. For this reason, solutions such as the Micro Datacenter C43U Series are ideal, since it does not require 24/7 cooling, since it has an energy efficient cooling technology that automatically switches between three cooling modes: active, ecological and emergency, according to the real-time needs of the system for greater energy efficiency.

2. Data Centers of the Future: a sustainable alternative

Pointing to the United Nations Sustainability Goals, companies must invest in devices that allow the storage of the data generated, but making efficient use of the energy that is used. To achieve this complement, there are solutions such as the Micro Data Center EcoStruxure C Series 43U, which has intelligent cooling technology, which allows energy consumption to be much lower and efficient use of it. In addition, its size is ideal to have in small spaces.

3. Cloud data storage

According to the IDC firm's study on predictions for 2023, cloud services are expected to grow 30% in Latin America, with a 30% growth rate for business-focused services. This, anchored to Edge Computing, will allow latency to decrease and information to arrive in real time.

4. Industrial Edge

This technology has three key segments to automate processes and reduce response speed: Intelligent Hardware, Industrial Software and Industrial Edge Computing Services. These elements allow software management and technology implementation to be properly appropriated in companies. Includes artificial intelligence; networks, sensors and Data Centers that automate different processes, so that they can be implemented in different industries and allow the interoperability of their elements.

5. Artificial Intelligence for Sustainability

Using Artificial Intelligence to manage, predict, and optimize your energy consumption enables improved data-driven decision-making, agility, and decarbonization. It has never been more visible that resource efficiency and energy sobriety drive business profitability, all through leveraging data for operational efficiency, electrification and automation.
