Five Nines explains - just ‘ data centres ’: enterprise colocation facilities that resided within a city ’ s central business district , resulting in market interconnectivity characterised by “ many-tomany ” connections .
Now , things are very different . “ We ' re seeing large hyperscale campuses located maybe 40-60km outside the network core being used for data warehousing , and then smaller edge locations close to the end user . It ' s a fundamental evolution in the way that data centres are architected and scaled . People are now looking for a mixture of large hyperscale campuses , edge transit campuses , colocation edge locations , and even micro-edge facilities which people are looking to use to lower their latencies as much as possible ,” says Davidson .
“ Digital Realty is building out metro ring facilities . We ' re building out our own interconnect infrastructure to make sure that we can get in and out of our buildings with fully diverse , tier grade access to the points of presence that our customers need to be connected to .
In the US , for example , you can get a 1 + 1 redundant circuit and that ' s going to give you five nines of availability . To get the same level of availability in a place like Jakarta or India , you ' re probably going to need five routes because of the level of structure in those markets .
Customers don ' t really want 1 + 1 redundancy ; they want five nines of availability . So , whatever we need to do in any one market to produce that result the customer wants is what we do , rather than just building to a standard that was established for a completely different market context .”
