THE DATA CENTRE INTERVIEW
“ At Airtel Business, we address these challenges by leveraging our global network infrastructure, advanced SD-WAN, cloud-native platforms and integrated advanced security measures, to deliver reliable, high-speed connectivity and intelligent automation at scale.
“ Our commitment to interoperability ensures that enterprises can integrate diverse devices and platforms seamlessly, while our security-first approach incorporates industry-leading safeguards across all layers of the network empowering enterprises worldwide to innovate and thrive in the digital economy.”
Rerouting around geopolitical risk in real time The 2024 Red Sea disruptions brought the vulnerability of concentrated subsea cable routes into sharp focus. Repeated incidents in a single corridor demonstrated that traffic diversity is not a luxury but a requirement for any enterprise seeking to guarantee operational continuity. For Airtel Business, the events have reinforced an approach to network architecture that it had already been developing with enterprise customers.
Sharat describes a framework built on three pillars. The first is network redundancy and geographic diversity.“ By leveraging our extensive global infrastructure and partnerships, we enable enterprises to route critical data and applications across multiple, geographically dispersed pathways – minimising reliance on any single subsea cable or transit corridor,” he explains.“ This approach ensures that, even when key routes like the Suez are compromised, our customers’ operations remain uninterrupted.”
The second is managed security and connectivity, delivered through next-generation SD-WAN and zerotrust architectures that allow dynamic, automated rerouting and maintain high-performance connectivity regardless of external disruptions.
