IT leaders are no strangers to balancing the budget when it comes to innovation and operations. However, as the pressure to accelerate digital transformation initiatives grows, and the need to accommodate more resource-intensive applications rises in urgency, finding that balance becomes increasingly treacherous and increasingly mission-critical.
As a way to support different types of data and workloads while balancing investment, cost, and risk management, more and more IT leaders are embracing hybrid IT models like those offered by CoreSite. In combining colocation, public cloud, private cloud, and onsite environments to host IT infrastructure, these interconnected digital ecosystems offer unparalleled opportunity to deliver to business value, performance, and flexibility at both local and global levels.
How and why are these integrated campuses becoming so popular? CoreSite, in conjunction with Foundry, recently published its 2024 State of the Data Center report, which examines the latest data center and cloud computing trends, strategies, and requirements through surveys with 300 IT decision-makers who represent a variety of industry sectors. This article explores the key findings from this research and the implications for the future of connectivity infrastructure.
