CLOUD & EDGE
“ To better facilitate the escalating need for agile , low latency interconnection , regional markets are increasing localised capacity ”
RUSSELL POOLE UK MD , EQUINIX
By the middle of the decade , the FLAP ( Frankfurt , London , Amsterdam , and Paris ) metros are forecast to account for 75 % of the total interconnection bandwidth capacity in EMEA .
This presents a huge challenge for data centre and network operators , as older methods of network architecture become increasingly unfit to handle the demands of a new , data-driven decade . With the ever-rising demand for lower latency connections to transmit larger and larger amounts of data , data centre operators are fundamentally reassessing their approach to the Edge .
