The pandemic, while disastrous for businesses and economies alike, was also a massive enabler for cloud and digital transformation initiatives in every industry in SA.
However, to optimise the usage of digital solutions, decentralising structures and organising workloads according to business demands through edge computing is key, as the edge reduces the distances travelled by data, which, in turn, shrinks latency to the minimum and greatly enhances network stability.
This is driving a rapid growth in hybrid architecture, central to which are colocation data centre facilities, as these data centres are closer to organisations and are providing the modern infrastructure needed to realise these productivity gains.
To unpack what is happening in this area in SA, Dr Ayotunde Coker, CEO of Open Access Data Centres, will be presenting on the core-to-edge opportunity in South Africa, at The ITWeb Cloud & Data Centre Summit 2022 to be held on 1 November.
This session will cover client demand for colocation and other data centre services in South Africa, as well as challenges with existing data centre deployment models.
