The dynamism and impulsiveness of the current economic environment has spurred digital adoption among organizations. Enterprises are striving for better infrastructure management that will deliver flexibility, IT operations efficiency and ability to maximise reach.
Enterprises are developing their digital roadmap with a hybrid multi-cloud model comprising of – private cloud, multiple public clouds, and third party colocation. Regardless of the architecture - there are two crucial considerations for a hybrid setup. One is a highly reliable data centre, offering 99.999% uptime under 24x7 supervision of experts, and second is secure, high-speed, low latency network connectivity. In the outsourcing proposition, the network component is extremely critical as it ‘glues’ together the various aspects of enterprises’ IT architecture.
The appearance of Hyperconnected Edge data centre’s with multiple Cloud Service Providers and Cloud Exchange, along with large congregation of Telecoms, ISPs and multiple Internet Exchanges, is crucial for enterprises’ digital transformation. The ultimate purpose of an ‘Edge Data Centre’ is to provide connectivity-rich, vendor neutral and open Interconnection Ecosystem, not only connecting businesses to cloud providers but also to their remote workforce, customers, partners, and ecosystems like financial institutes and stock exchanges, among others.
