How Digital Realty is growing its data centre operations with scalable, agile DCI networks
When Digital Realty (formerly known as Interxion) decided to expand its operations in Marseille, real-estate and power constraints led the company to build a second data centre four kilometres from the original site, and connect the two facilities with a super-fast Data Centre Interconnect (DCI) network. This allowed Digital Realty to create a single virtualized data centre campus, giving its clients light-speed access to subsea cables, platforms, connectivity providers and other partners at both sites.
