CLOUD & COLOCATION
“ IT’ S ABOUT HOW YOU INTERCONNECT, HOW YOU HAVE THINGS RUNNING ON THE EDGE – RUNNING IN

Julio Guijarro, EMEA CTO, Red Hat
The report notes that cloud cost management is a primary driver for this shift, with many organisations repatriating certain workloads from public cloud to colocation or on-premises data centres to gain control and predictability over spending.
