Vanakkam all In current world, companies are rushing towards switching their application from private datacenter(DC) to Cloud providers who provide various services including compute, networking, storage, security etc. The main reason for switching from DC to Cloud revolves around the DC cost, efficiency, scalability. But soon, will we be witnessing them migrating back from Cloud to Private Datacenter considering the unprecedented price hike, unused services, unused resources, confusion in service selection etc and also server manufacturers offering the hardware in smaller size, AI powered processors which occupies less space comparing to olden days. Example | Dropbox When we talk about moving back to DC due to unplanned cloud services usage and its effect on costing, there are several companies out there who have already moved back to their private DC or planning to move back as challenge to showcase that they can built an cost effective, efficient, planned DC on their own instead spending a huge budget on cloud Dropbox In a well-publicized move, Dropbox decided to shift away from Amazon Web Services (AWS) to its own custom-built infrastructure. This decision was primarily motivated by the need to control costs and improve performance, as managing their massive amounts of data on AWS was becoming increasingly expensive. “It was clear to us from the beginning that we’d have to build everything from scratch,” wroteDropbox infrastructure VP Akhil Gupta on his company blog in 2016, “since there’s nothing in the open source community that’s proven to work reliably at our scale. Few companies in the world have the same requirements for scale of storage as we do.” Its the backward approach. Now, Dropbox has its own advanced AI driven Datacenters across. Their strategy on building a Datacenter is interesting and amazing. They have come up with their own checklist, stages, planning in acquiring a place before Datacenter is being officially set. Interesting checklist | DC site selection process: Dropbox before it stages a DC, it involves in following process Site Selection Process Power Space Cooling Network Security Site Hazards Operations & Engineering Logistics Rental rate Utility rate Rental escalator Power usage effectiveness Supporting Infrastructure Design Expected cabinet weight with dimensions and expected quantity Increased risk due to construction delays Inadequate monitoring programs, which would not have provided the necessary facility alerts With above all selection process, the team comes up with a Score card. Based on the score, they decide the site location and then work on the DC setup. Large Vs Small DC space : The technology advancement is moving towards having small servers, small rack rack space and facility to easily upgrade the hardware or enhance the existing hardware. We have providers who can help in hardware upgrade lease agreements.

Vanakkam all I am from Kanyakumari, southern tip of India. We have India’s largest operational onshore windfarm in the place called Muppandal, Kanyakumari District. On the way home, we cross the landscape withlush green fields surrounded by mountains, goats, sheep, cow, birds, farmers walking brisk by the morning sun shine ( this generation is lacking that brisk and natural energy) and not just this – gentle breeze, early morning sunshine on your face, a backdrop of wind turbines with avg 80 feet height and the rotating gigantic blades. The wind farm developed by Tamilnadu Energy Development Agency. Often I just think about the birds safety crossing those windfarm radar, blades but have never thought about how technology can solve that problem. Private 5G As the name implies, Private 5G is a dedicated network that uses 5G technology to create a private network tailored to specific organization needs. Its exclusive to the organization that sets them up. This gives them more control over the network’s setup, management, security, access and performance. One quick example of deployment of private 5G network in an industrial environment would be Siemens Automotive Test Center. Key Features of Prviate 5G High Speed and Low Latency Enhanced Security Customizability and Control Improved Connectivity for IoT Devices Dedicated Resources What is the connection between Private 5G and Windfarm Windfarm- a group of wind turbines is used to produce electricity. They harness kinetic energy of wind and convert it into electrical energy through the rotation of blades connected to generators. Protected Birds : Wind turbines blades can pose threats to species that are protected by law. Birds can collide with rotating blades or disturbed by wind farms leading to decline in their population. Problem statement : The problem outlined in#MWC24 on Feb 28,2024 was ‘Possible collision of birds in wind farm to protect wildlife and prevent penalties’ Solution: #MWC24 Early detection of protected birds in wind farms to avoid the environmental impact. Redhat Openshift & Private 5G As per Kelly Switt – Global Head of Intelligence Edge, Red Hat, ‘Red Hat and Intel have collaborated to create a cloud and edge-native private 5G solution for industrial and cross vertical deployments that is cost-effective and easier to adopt. This enables manufacturers to more readily capitalize on the massive revenue opportunity presented by AI-enabled software-defined operations and factories’. In windfarm, Private 5G can be applied in : Real-time Data Analytics and Monitoring Remote Control and Automation Enhanced Safety and Security Drone Inspections Digital Twin Technology – Virtual representation of windfarm IoT Integration By leveraging the capabilities and niche features of 5G, wind farm operators can achieve higher efficiency, enhanced safety and lower operational costs. Private 5G applications can be deployed on Redhat Openshift which provides a unified cloud-native platform. Openshift can be beneficial for Simplified Network Functions Virtualization (NFV), Edge computing, Automation and Orchestration, Security and compliance. Whats the AI role in this – Usecase Utilizinghigh-resolution cameras around wind farms, AI algorithms can continuously monitor skies for bird activity and these algorithms are trained to identify protected bird species from video feeds in real time. By recognizing specific species, especially those that are protected or at risk, AI can provide immediate alerts when such birds are detected near the turbines. When a protected bird or its flock is detected, there are two ways to prevent the collision . 1- Generate a acoustic sound which can help divert the bird flying direction, 2-Slow down the blade rotation automatically. Private 5G networks ensure that the vast amounts of data collected by cameras and microphones are transmitted with minimal latency to the AI processing units. This helps in immediate actions and avoid any collision. AI system can also learn from every incident and improves the accuracy and effectiveness overtime. This also helps the windfarm operators to be regulatory compliant. Demand for Redhat Openshift Engineers : All these innovative solutions with Redhat Openshift is inturn creating a huge job market for certified Redhat Openshift Engineers. Learn the technology, understand the nuances, were it is being used and how, and finally get placed in reputed organizations and enjoy the journey of innovation.
