2023-02-06T14:57:41-06:00

Data gravity will increasingly weigh on businesses and IT professionals, whether they start preparing for it now or wait until there’s no other choice.  More people are logging into networks with more devices every day, generating ever more data that inevitably pulls applications and services toward it.

Data should be readily available for access by applications and services, regardless of location, but the gravity of large data sets can trap them in one place.

As the demand placed on data centers grows, the requirements from tenants are becoming more complex. As a result, data center providers and operators are facing a continual push to optimize how they run and manage these mission-critical facilities.
