Answer:
Various prognoses forecast that the number of connected devices could exceed the 20 billion mark as early as next year and could reach 50 billion by 2022. Even today, there are possibly already more connected devices on the planet than there are people.

In our digitalized world, the Internet has long since become a critical infrastructure. Ever larger data streams flow indefatigably around the globe. For the technologies of the future, like artificial intelligence, virtual reality, and many others, interconnection is the indispensable foundation. Digitalization without networks is not possible. This is why it is so important that we place focus on the future of the Internet – also at the level of the basic infrastructure.

Journey into an Interconnected Digital World
On the user side, in the past few years we have seen accelerating development of Internet usage. This ranges from the massive expansion of online shopping, to the ever greater distribution of mobile devices, and on to streaming services – there is hardly any area of daily life that could not somehow be connected to the Internet. While all this is going on, what is happening in the “backend” of the Internet, behind the scenes in the data center?
At first glance, the developments here might seem rather unspectacular. It may well be difficult for non-specialists to tell the difference between a data center from 1998 and one from today. One difference that is still relatively obvious is the disappearance of copper: fiber optic cabling is used almost exclusively today.
Only very low latencies and absolutely secure transmission will do justice to the coming generations of applications.
The continued development of the foundation of the Internet can be compared to electricity: You don’t need a “different” type of power depending on whether you’re operating a simple light bulb or a state-of-the-art factory – you just need a lot more of it. In principle, this is the same with Internet traffic: New applications do not produce a new type of traffic, but as a rule, they do produce much more of it. In addition, the newest, most innovative applications are raising the bar: Only very low latencies and absolutely secure transmission will do justice to the coming generations of applications.
Fiber optic to remain the standard
Currently, in data centers around the world we are seeing a “scale-out approach”, which means that existing infrastructures can be expanded horizontally to keep up with the growing requirements. To optimize the usable space within data centers, there is a lot being done on increasing the integration of the transmission technology, as well as accelerating automation through robots that can work in extremely confined spaces. Completely new, revolutionary approaches for the entire operation are already being drilled academically – e.g. data centers that are designed as a clean room and in which the communication no longer takes place via fiber-optic cables, but instead through light impulses that are reflected on a mirrored ceiling.
