Chris Sharp discusses technology challenges, how legacy interconnection barriers are hindering digital transformation, and what more can be done from here to combine open interconnection and next-generation colocation. Last March, Digital Realty (NYSE: DLR) outlined a new manifesto for interconnecting global communities around their increasingly most strategic asset: data. And today, the company is announcing another significant step in its plan to create next generation interconnection and colocation, in answer to the explosion of enterprise data globally. The firm, which operates nearly 300 data centre facilities across the globe, has ramped up efforts to create next-generation interconnection and security capabilities and build the largest open fabric-of-fabrics interconnecting key centres of data exchange. The move is designed to facilitate and speed up data flows across networks by linking different parts of the networking fabric through a more automated, intelligent, and seamless software deployments to help manage the infrastructure at Digital Realty and partners to better serve customers. As part of this development strategy, the company said it is working with global provider of fibre-based communications Zayo Group Holdings, Inc., to lay the physical and virtual foundations of a new open fabric. The collaborative approach aims to unlock trapped value and remove legacy barriers to digital transformation by more closely aligning with the hybrid IT and security considerations of multinational enterprises. #datacenters #cloudadoption #cloudcomputing #datacentre #infrastructure #thetechcapital #youleadwereport Subscribe free to The Tech Capital here.
