Data centres and colocation – enablers of digital transformation

Digital transformation requires agility, which means being able to respond to changes in the business environment quickly. However, traditional in-house data centre infrastructure is often rigid and inflexible, which makes it challenging for enterprises to scale their IT infrastructure sufficiently rapidly. By working with us, enterprises can leverage our infrastructure and add capacity to their IT footprint faster than if they were to build their own data centre. We also offer a range of interconnectivity options, such as cloud connectivity and carrier-neutral connectivity, which further enable infrastructure agility.

Digitalisation has increased the amount of sensitive data that organisations must handle, making them targets for cyber-attacks. As a result, security is a cornerstone of digital transformation. Security measures such as multi-factor authentication, video surveillance, and biometric access control systems, as well as our strict physical security measures like gated building access, secured cages, and round-the-clock monitoring ensure that infrastructure remains secure.

Digital transformation requires the ability to rapidly scale computing and storage resources to meet business needs. By leveraging our infrastructure, enterprises can increase their capacity quickly and scale their IT resources up or down as needed.

Building and maintaining a data centre and all its associated infrastructure can be an expensive proposition. Much of this is related to the need for expensive real estate, power, and cooling requirements. Our colo provides an economical alternative, with a shared infrastructure that reduces costs by spreading them across multiple tenants. IT managers can leverage this advantage to improve their budgets and invest in other critical digital transformation initiatives.

The data centre environment is becoming more complex every day. There are more applications, more systems, more users, and more data, which require more IT infrastructure. It’s tough for most organisations to achieve the agility, scalability, and security required to support their digital transformation projects because of the complexity of their infrastructure. Our purpose-built infrastructure and network of service providers facilitates complex solutions and reduces IT complexity for our clients.

Digital transformation requires businesses to leverage cutting-edge technology to provide unique value propositions to their customers. However, it’s challenging for most organisations to allocate sufficient resources for developing and deploying innovative products and services. We are a valuable resource for innovation as we provide access to advanced IT infrastructure, as well as the managed IT services that support the development and implementation of innovative solutions.
