Description
The world of data center technology is experiencing rapid and significant changes, due to an ever increasing demand for hardware in the AI commercial sector, with profound implications for the HEP community. More than ever, the road to HL-LHC requires the experiments to develop and implement radical changes on how they exploit computing and storage resources, to cope with much less favorable price reduction predictions.
This contribution provides an update of the status and the trends of hardware technology, with a strong focus on the elements that pose the greatest challenges for the HEP community, how they will impact the preparation for HL-LHC and possible mitigation measures.
