By 2025, 80% of enterprises will have shut down their traditional data center, versus 10% today, according to Gartner’s report, Prepare for the Death of the Data Center as We Know It.  Yet organizations’ data center transition plans are often hindered by the design, security or compliance constraints of many workloads that are not cloud-first friendly.  Modern IT leaders must look beyond their traditional enterprise data center and the cloud to cost-effectively support their organization’s needs with speed and agility of cloud combined with the control of dedicated infrastructure. 

Join this webinar to hear industry experts Randy Rowland and Bill Kleyman discuss how organizations can leverage on-demand colocation and connectivity to:

  • Accelerate their successful transition to off-premise data centers

  • Reduce the time it takes to provision and manage their IT environment

  • Deploy dedicated hyperconverged infrastructure in a consumption-based model

  • Extend beyond power and capacity constraints to address growing demand

  • Provide a viable alternative to cloud-first required by certain workloads
