Digital Connectivity is the Foundation for Digital Transformation in Manufacturing The industrial network infrastructure is a valuable business asset. Investments in legacy industrial networks require a clear migration path to optimize return on assets while taking advantage of performance enhancements from new technologies. A robust, well-executed physical layer is foundational to this asset continuing to…
The global commercial real estate sector faces growing uncertainty around how buildings will be used and valued in the coming years. Business needs and expectations have continued to shift and grow in the wake of the pandemic, particularly with regards to the rise of hybrid work. As a result, many companies are scaling back their…

As a result, cloud operators are looking for infrastructure solutions that are designed to maximize performance, streamline management, and minimize…
The U.S. multi-family real estate sector—which spans townhomes, duplexes and high-rise buildings—has been on an upward trajectory that shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon. Renters in particular are seeking out multi-family spaces as a result of rising interest rates and a growing preference for convenience over ownership. However, today’s renters aren’t just looking…
In my previous post, I wrote about the rise of distributed cloud deployment models, and explained how they close the gap between private and public clouds in order to deliver all the benefits of public cloud along with location-dependent cloud use cases. In a traditional cloud computing architecture, the compute, and storage of all data…
A digital twin is a virtual representation of a process, a person or a physical asset. Think of it as the next-generation computer-aided design (CAD) models, which have long been used to create 3D replicas of buildings. A key difference between the two, however, comes down to IoT technology, which enables digital twins to be…
After nearly a decade of public cloud adoption, many organizations have realized they need more flexibility when it comes to where they run applications and workloads. Increasingly, they are moving to highly distributed, multi-cloud architectures that span multiple public clouds, an on-premises data center and an MTDC facility. Multiple factors drove the pivot to multi-cloud,…
