Interconnection ecosystem. An optimal way to future-proof your network infrastructure
Congreso&EXPO ASLAN2022
Dr. Thomas King
Chief Technology Officer en De-Cix
Resumen
The Internet has brought the world together, but it was not designed to support the connectivity that businesses need today. Its transformative strengths are also its weaknesses: crippling latency, complexity, and security issues are just the tip of the iceberg for companies that rely on it for network infrastructure. Put simply, you can no longer depend on it to deliver business-critical data and applications.
The good news is there’s an alternative. And that is what this talk is all about: how to build custom connectivity and future-proofing the business network infrastructure.
An interconnection ecosystem offers the chance to optimize enterprise connectivity outside of the Internet. This customized connectivity can be shaped for any business, enabling you to manage limitless cloud-based applications, connect and securely exchange massive volumes of data with partners/suppliers, and ensure your business-critical traffic reaches its destination as fast as possible.
