ENABLING GLOBAL INTERCONNECTION
INNOVATE AND LEAD THE WAY
The Internet of Things , 4K video , social media , and cloud services are all helping to drive demand for data centre infrastructure and data centre interconnection . In 2020 64.2ZB of data was created or replicated according to IDC .
According to Arizton Advisory and Intelligence , there were around 515 data centre building or expansion projects in 2021 . The analyst forecasts the worldwide data centre industry will increase from $ 215.8 billion in 2021 to $ 288.3 billion by 2027 .
Data centres that get things right stand to reap some monumental rewards . The big question providers are asking themselves is how do I get it right ?
Businesses that stay in a traditional ecosystem will miss out on commercial prospects because they are unable to adapt to changing circumstances . An organisation that remains confined to a private-only environment or a single data centre may find it difficult to expand in markets where it lacks a point of presence or the appropriate alliances .
The data centre industry has changed a lot over the past 10 years . One of the biggest changes in the industry has been the arrival of Network-as-a-Service ( NaaS ) platforms , such as Console Connect .
NaaS provides the ability to communicate with other data centres , public clouds , and SaaS instances rather than being restricted to a single ecosystem . It accomplishes this using an on-demand , self-service architecture that enables users to adjust bandwidth to suit their needs while only paying for what they use .
