Your data is exploding
In volume, velocity, and value. Whether this Data Gravity is a challenge or an opportunity depends on your strategy and data center partner.
Seize the unrealized opportunity of the data economy
As enterprises undergo digital transformation and adopt emerging technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI), IoT, and autonomous vehicles, more and more data is created. The World Economic Forum estimates $100 trillion of incremental GDP could be secured through digital transformation.*
As the shift from physical to digital to data economy occurs, multi-national companies are well positioned to address the $100 trillion value opportunity.
Not only is data growing, but there is also a shift in how data is created, processed, stored, and exchanged. This impacts business strategy, customer experience, and infrastructure. To keep up, enterprises require a data-centric architecture to seize the opportunity at hand. This is the unrealized opportunity of the data economy.
