Software Spotlight: Platform DIGITAL by Digital Realty

This month, leading data centre provider Digital Realty, a global provider of data center, colocation and interconnection solutions, launched PlatformDIGITAL, a first-of-its-kind data centre management platform that allows its users to operate digital businesses at scale. By 2022, 60% of enterprise IT infrastructures will be primarily focused on ‘centres of data’ rather than traditional data centres - a trend that will see a hybrid architecture between data centre infrastructure and the edge. The need for businesses around the globe, across all industries, to digitally transform their operations and IT infrastructure is growing more apparent each day. In order to enable this, PlatformDIGITAL is a new way of approaching digital infrastructure, a “one-stop solution that helps to interconnect their entire digital ecosystem,” according to Tony Bishop, SVP of Platform and Ecosystem Strategy at Digital Realty.
