Data is the most important asset for any organization, but managing and governing that data while accounting for security and compliance can be difficult. Data centers are a vital part of data management and play a crucial role as the central point of access for data and essential business applications.

Data management is critical for every company to improve business agility by ensuring up-to-date information is available anywhere, at any time to the employees who need it most. As enterprises grow, so does the amount of computing power, hardware, and storage needed to run the operations of the business. Data centers allow businesses to keep this equipment in one or more central locations where it can be managed in an ideal physical environment. Data centers also make security and compliance regulations easier to maintain.

The surplus of infrastructure left is today’s dark fiber, which can be bought or leased by other businesses. In some cases, new dark fiber is built for businesses.

Data centers are no longer just an additional storage facility — they have emerged as a key business parameter. Data centers are expected for businesses that need to enhance their IT infrastructure systems and support requirements with superior connectivity services, allowing for a greater competitive edge.

Data center colocation is a key component in today’s business digital transformation strategy. Colocation enables businesses to offload the complex IT data management of their mission-critical data, instead opting for more managed services. However, without a secure and reliable connection between customers, employees and data centers, businesses can’t deliver their products, services and information.

Business data center infrastructure cannot be a cookie-cutter approach. Organizations need to seek out a facility that meets their unique demands both today and in the future.

While some may need the security that comes with a Tier 4-classified data center, other organizations find that a Tier 1 facility will meet their needs. Still, others may require connections to data centers that are compliant with HIPAA, US-EU Safe Harbor, SSAE 16 or PCI certifications.

Recognizing that our customers need connectivity options, Glo Fiber Business takes an agnostic approach to keep you connected with our data services . We offer connections to a dozen data centers that meet a variety of certifications and tier levels while providing a range of options for services and security. It’s all part of our long-standing commitment to remarkable customer care and serving as a strong network partner for your business or organization.
