Connectivity: The Great Equalizer

Everywhere you look, digital transformation and bridging the digital divide are top of mind for companies and government agencies alike. Digital anything relies on connectivity capabilities. Public or private internet access, reach to multiple cloud providers, private interconnection between partners, data center and colocation providers everywhere need to consider the expanding needs of their customers – and connectivity is the key element.

Enabling data centers with robust connectivity is not just for carriers, service providers, and cloud operators to tackle. Platforms that allow ecosystem enablement for Data Centers bring these solutions in a single interface. Below are three ways that ecosystem platforms benefit data center customers.

• Like MOD Mission Critical’s PaaSPort™ solution, Ecosystem platforms simplify the way companies interconnect. Many refer to the simple port and virtual capabilities available as the ‘new cross-connect,’ providing the end-users near-immediate capabilities and complete control.
• SDN capabilities increase control, features and functionality.  A ‘smart’ ecosystem platform provides the most features and functionality to its users, ensuring the greatest control. For instance, once connected to the platform via a port on the switch, PaaSPort enables users to create new connections between any other connected providers with the ability to fully manage and monitor the performance of these connections through a single interface. 
• Connectivity equalizes capabilities – flattening the market – benefiting the digital landscape for everyone. Enabling and bringing more service provider solutions to data centers can be simplified with an ecosystem enabler. Offering a single platform to reach other networks and services can be orchestrated by a provider, like MOD Mission Critical, bringing even more connectivity options to facilities that may be lean in their offering. Companies rely more and more on cloud providers such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google – and platform enablers can bring these solutions directly to any provider’s facility.

In a nutshell, 2022 is the year that connectivity will reign – delivering in-facility interconnection and reach to end-users – regardless of where they are.
