Gartner\u2019s top 10 trends impacting infrastructure and operations in 2019<\/h2>
Serverless computing, edge computing, digital diversity management and the death of the data center are among the top trends organizations should expect, the research firm says.<\/p>

About these predictions<\/h2>
Gartner highlighted the key technologies and trends that infrastructure and operations leaders must start preparing for to support digital infrastructure in 2019. Gartner analysts presented the findings during the Gartner IT Infrastructure, Operations and Cloud Strategies Conference<\/a>. According to the research firm, these are the top trends organizations can expect.<\/p>

Serverless computing<\/h2>
\u201cServerless computing is an emerging software architecture pattern that promises to eliminate the need for infrastructure provisioning and management,\u201d the report explains. \u201cinfrastructure and operations leaders need to adopt an application-centric approach to serverless computing, managing APIs and SLAs, rather than physical infrastructures.\u201d<\/p>

AI impacts<\/h2>
\u201cAI is climbing up the ranks in terms of the value it will serve infrastructure and operations leaders who need to manage growing infrastructures without being able to grow their staff,\u201d the report says. \u201cAI has the potential to be organizationally transformational and is at the core of digital business, the impacts of which are already being felt within organizations. According to Gartner, global AI-derived business value will reach nearly $3.9 trillion by 2022.\u201d<\/p>

Network agility (or the lack of it)<\/h2>
\u201cThe network underpins everything IT does\u2014cloud services, Internet of Things (IoT), edge services\u2014and will continue to do so moving forward,\u201d the report says. \u201cThe focus for 2019 and beyond must move to how infrastructure and operations leaders can help their teams increase the pace of network operations to meet demand. The demands on the network are set to grow with the advent of 5G, increasing cloud maturity and the explosion in numbers of IoT devices.\u201d<\/p>

Death of the data center<\/h2>
\u201cBy 2025, 80 percent of enterprises will migrate entirely away from on-premises data centers with the current trend of moving workloads to colocation, hosting and the cloud leading them to shut down their traditional data center,\u201d Gartner predicts.<\/p>

Edge computing<\/h2>
\u201cIoT and immersive technologies will drive more information processing to the edge, redefining and reshaping what infrastructure and operations leaders will need to deploy and manage,\u201d the report predicts. \u201cThe edge is the physical location where things and people connect with the networked digital world, and infrastructure will increasingly reach out to the edge. Edge computing is a part of a distributed computing topology where information processing is located close to the edge, which is where things and people produce or consume that information. It touches on the laws of physics, economy and land, all of which are contributing factors to how and when to use edge.\u201d<\/p>

Digital diversity management<\/h2>
\u201cDigital diversity management is not about people, but rather about the discovery and maintenance of assets that are \u2018out there\u2019 in any given modern digital enterprise,\u201d the report explains. \u201cThere has been huge growth in the range and quantity of \u2018things\u2019 that infrastructure and operations is expected to know about, be supporting and be managing.\u201d<\/p>

New roles within infrastructure and operations<\/h2>
\u201cInfrastructure and operations leaders find that staffing justifications require resolving complex relationships between costs, activities and customer quality expectations,\u201d the report says. \u201cExplaining infrastructure and operations staffing requirements to IT and business leaders in terms of business value by connecting staffing levels to business performance and strategic objectives is a must in today\u2019s modern digital enterprise.\u201d<\/p>

Software as a Service (SaaS) denial<\/h2>
\u201cSaaS is software that is owned, delivered and managed remotely by one or more providers,\u201d the report explains. \u201cThe provider delivers software based on one set of common code and data definitions that is consumed in a one-to-many model by all contracted customers at any time on a pay-for-use basis or as a subscription based on use metrics. In 2019 and beyond, SaaS<\/a> will have a big impact on how organizations look at infrastructure delivery strategies moving forward.\u201c<\/p>

Talent management becomes critical<\/h2>
\u201cHistorically, IT staff have been vertically organized based around the technology stack they managed,\u201d the report notes. \u201cAs infrastructures go digital, there becomes a need for people to work horizontally across stacks in order to identify and remediate technology work stoppages in their business. Expanding infrastructure and operations skill sets, practices and procedures to accommodate hybrid operations is of the utmost importance in 2019 and beyond.\u201d<\/p>

Global infrastructure enablement<\/h2>
\u201cDespite few infrastructures being truly \u2018global\u2019 in nature, organizations must still prepare for the notion of \u2018infrastructure everywhere,\u2019 " the report says. \u201cWhile doing so, infrastructure and operations leaders must work within the constraints of tight budgets and cost pressures. One way to tackle this challenge this is to wisely choose the network of partners needed for global success. There will be no time for \u2018B-team\u2019 partners in 2019 and beyond, Infrastructure and operations leaders must be on top of this trend between 2020 and 2023.\u201d<\/p>
