Global Switch to help drive future connectivity needs These are exciting times for Global Switch , with a sale process underway and significant developments planned and ongoing across the global footprint .
“ In 2022 , despite the macro volatility as a result of the war in Ukraine , the energy crisis and broader geo-political concerns , Global Switch demonstrated the resilience of its business model , which stands us in good stead for the next 12 to 18 months ,” Eaton explains .
Significant growth in the sector of data and cloud computing and the growing adoption of applications from SaaS , PaaS and IaaS to mobile payments and gaming and video streaming will continue to drive significant data centre demand . “ Furthermore ,” Eaton adds , “ the growth of data-generating devices , such as smart meters and autonomous vehicles , as part of the Internet of Things , and 5G system deployments are new sub-sectors that will undoubtedly require vast volumes of data . ‘ Always On ’ data centres and high levels of connectivity , both of which Global Switch is well known in the market for , are critical components to deliver that demand .”
Global Switch is continuing with its proven strategy of redeveloping and densifying existing data centres and building new data centres in existing Tier 1 markets , in particular , adjacent to existing data centres . “ This ,” Eaton adds , “ will deliver the required capacity to support growth in our existing customers as well as the forging of significant new relationships across the Hyperscale and Enterprise sectors .”
