There’s no such thing as online life. Just life. Your facility is one of life’s vital engine rooms and connectivity the driveshaft propelling it. So often left the other side of the meet-me-room door, what are the emerging trends shaping data center connectivity in our divided and disrupted world? Mattias is CTO of his ‘sub-300ms world’ that directly connects 300 major data centers across 6 continents 24/7/360.

it’s life critical.
The critical path increasingly includes
