Why cloud infrastructure matters
Companies around the world are moving to a cloud-based infrastructure to increase IT agility, gain unlimited scalability, improve reliability, and lower costs. They want the flexibility to expand their operations at a rapid pace without worrying about setting up new IT infrastructure. They want to enhance their end-user and customer experiences by minimizing latency, the time it takes for their data packets to travel, so they can avoid delays and interruptions. As well, customers want to be able to easily support any country-specific data sovereignty requirements, which means they need the flexibility to have a wide selection of geographic regions of data centers from which to choose to deploy their application workloads.
