To grow globally, businesses must
use the global open platform approach
offered by Digital Realty to mitigate
the data gravity barriers created by
digital transformation. “Some of the
enterprises we work with aren’t fully
aware of the issue, or that they should
deploy in proximity to where all of this
data is burgeoning or being built, and
this is where PlatformDIGITAL brings
huge value,” Sharp notes. “So, we can
procure a cabinet in close proximity to
a customer’s data – say they are looking
to carry out some data analytics
and want to stand up an AI farm with
several GPU processors, for example –
which is a real game changer for many
of those enterprises we’re working
with. They’re all trying to work with data
analytics, to use multi-hybrid cloud
architectures and our platform does
that — when that data doesn’t have
to travel far because the customer is
immersed right in it, that’s probably
the most optimal architecture that an
enterprise could hope to achieve.” 159
