Data centers used to be easy to find. Behind some secured door in a windowless room at company headquarters, mainframes churned data all day long.

Not anymore.

Data lives everywhere now, because apps are everywhere. Data lives in your phone, your car, on an assembly line, or even in your sneakers. Because of this shift, data centers need to evolve and move to the edge, so companies can utilize their data more rapidly. Data centers still have an onsite role to play, but they also need to act more like pop-ups, going with the information flow and setting up where the action is.

We’ve seen this change coming and we’ve planned for this. And this week, we just launched Data Center Anywhere. Customers can now enjoy multicloud and edge access that’s designed to handle any workload, in any location, and with any cloud formation. By moving data centers closer to the apps on the ground, we’re also opening the door to interpreting data in real time. This lets customers to do more, which means you deliver greater value. Data Center Anywhere is now achievable at scale for your mid-sized customers to large global enterprises.
