Building the Future - Infrastructure as Code Using Terraform

While most data centers are prepared for current bandwidth demands and maintain up-to-date backbones, some enterprise networks are in danger of falling behind. Increased wireless traffic has already taxed many enterprise environments. Evolving IEEE 802.11 standards such as 802.11ac Wave 1, Wave 2, and 802.11ax — along with bring-your-own-device (BYOD) policies — encourage more Wi-Fi activity and place significant strain on existing 1000BASE-T systems. This demand has pushed network speed requirements beyond 1 Gb/s. Enterprise networks will fail to meet the growing demand for reliable network performance without the right cabling infrastructure in place.

Powering digital transformation by connecting devices and verticals from manufacturing to healthcare, Private Wireless Networks are driving innovation across multiple industries, allowing enterprises to modernize and digitize their infrastructures while improving processes that run core operations quickly and efficiently.

Demand for edge data centers is expected to grow across the world in the short-term, particularly for shared data centers and especially in North America. Uptime Institute research shows a continued usage of redundant power and cooling systems, while at the same time showing an interest in distributed resiliency involving multiple edge data centers.
