Abstract: The advent of artificial intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) in today's digital world has significantly changed how people work, entertain, and live. The number of IoT devices connected to various networks is growing exponentially. Data centers estimate that more than 41 billion connected devices will be used by 2025. The amount of information being sent back to the cloud grows in proportion to the number of connected devices. Today's data centers struggle to provide guaranteed transfer rates and response times due to the massive amounts of data that must be processed in the cloud.
