Recently, there has been a significant uptake
in Internet and cloud business growth as more and more businesses push their
content, data and infrastructure into virtual environments. As a result, cloud
is booming and is expected to grow more than 280 percent by
2014. Similarly, as Ethernet and 3G spread to the furthest corners of the
globe, Internet traffic is expected to quadruple by 2015 to reach 966 exabytes
per year. Customer expectations for high quality of experience over this
infrastructure have grown just as rapidly. According to site optimization firm Strangeloop, companies face a loss
of $2.5 million in annual
revenue for just 1 second of delay
in webpage load time.
Because of these high demands for performance from
end users, companies across every vertical rely on the high speed of fiber backbone
networks like TeliaSonera
International Carrier’s global infrastructure. To ensure that its
network is able to deliver strong performance metrics to customers around the
world, TeliaSonera recently announced that it expanded its
partnership with carrier-neutral
colocation data center provider Interxion.
TeliaSonera looked to Interxion’s data centers
to increase its infrastructure’s flexibility, availability and scalability in
order to support the delivery of its bundled IP and hosting offerings to
customers. TeliaSonera’s presence in nine of Interxion’s top-of-the-line
data centers help the company meet customer requirements
for high-quality Internet access and premium data center services, and enable
the company to place infrastructure in locations that best optimize its
solutions. In the end, this means faster and better service for end users.
TeliaSonera’s global network has actually been
available from a number of Interxion data centers for many years, as part of
Interxion’s many connectivity options for its data
center tenants. With this renewed partnership, Interxion will increase its role
in helping TeliaSonera respond to strong demand from customers and meet the challenge
of delivering strong cloud and Internet performance.
I can see the advantages of online business being able to profit from cloud derived services like Google Drive for collaborative work-force. Cuts the need for an actual office and will take advantage of virtual work-groups.
