Where interconnectivity means business and opportunity in the digital economy

By Digital News Asia July 17, 2024Equinix poised to propel Malaysia into the forefront of the global digital economy

With a global ecosystem of over 10,000 enterprises, networks and cloud service providers already operating in and connected to its network of 260+ data centres, 70+ metro areas and in 33 countries spanning six continents, this deep interconnectivity across the globe is helping drive the global digital economy.

Even if the prediction of these sales interactions falls short, the various data points from the GXI lend credence to a new maxim that is gaining belief. That, in a hyperconnected world, interconnection isn’t optional. Businesses must be interconnected to compete and grow in the digital economy. With business needs driving digital transformation, not technology, and with the digital economy rapidly expanding its footprint, it is no surprise that the leading companies in the world are not only adopting digital in their transformation but are challenging their Brick & Mortar economy business models and transitioning to becoming digital first entities.

To be clear, interconnection is not to be confused with digital network connections such as wifi, mobile network connectivity or fibre to one’s home or work. Rather, interconnection refers to the direct, secure and private exchange of data traffic between organizations, bypassing the public internet.

As explained by Cheam Tan Inn, managing director of Equinix Malaysia, “these IBX data centres serve as the cornerstone for driving business agility, fostering collaboration and fueling economic prosperity. By providing businesses with unparalleled access to global networks and cutting-edge technology, Equinix is poised to revolutionize the digital landscape and propel Malaysia into the forefront of the global digital economy.
