Data Centers: Network Solution Closer to Data Consumption

Get Updates by Email

In today’s digital era, enterprises operate within a competitive environment and rely on technology to delight their customers. This has led companies to explore new ways to improve business results by extending modern technologies, such as cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and 5G networks, closer to the end device or “at the edge.” However, to utilize these tools, companies require low-latency infrastructure, access to an ecosystem of technology providers, and resilient facilities, among other requirements. American Tower and CoreSite can help enterprises resolve these challenges by providing the infrastructure needed to take advantage of today’s evolving technologies.

Customer Challenges

Many companies across industries are differentiating themselves using technology. The manufacturing industry is improving time to market by automating production and healthcare providers are enhancing clinician support with real-time imaging. Although new technology has unlocked new use cases, this technology has also produced challenges for IT and OT departments.

Performance

Modern workloads, such as artificial intelligence and analytics, require low latency to ensure optimal results, since milliseconds of latency can have a significant impact on success.

Convenience

Most companies today operate a hybrid cloud environment, which requires multiple technology providers and facilities. It will be important for companies to invest in data centers that can extend hybrid cloud benefits to the edge.

Reliability

Enterprises depend on reliable infrastructure to deploy modern edge applications. Key decision makers need to consider security, compliance, and resiliency implications before migrating workloads to new facilities. This is critical to reduce the risk of downtime, prevent security breaches, and avoid paying hefty fines.
