How to exploit the advent of “collaborative communities” based on the edge

"Find out why" near "interconnection is the key to success"

It's no secret that digital transformation is revolutionizing the corporate status quo. With the constant growth of the omnipresent cloud computing, in correlation with the large amount and the continuous expansion of sources of information in real-time, several companies are reinventing their way of doing business. Inventory management, dynamic supply chains, health surveillance, automated industrial sensors, high-frequency trading and countless other examples of collaborative digital exchanges continue to fuel growth and the "need for speed".

The crux of this is the production, sharing, and use of information in real-time. The data, once highly sought-after assets and stored in a basement in a data center for internal use, are now used as a currency of exchange in the digital economy. The consumer who stops for a moment to consult his bank account, the weather forecast or an email on his smartphone, does not know where this precise and fast information is kept. Unbeknownst to the user, this composite information was retrieved by several participants in the digital economy, who provided the hosting, transportation, advertising, analysis and visualization of the information on the display which is now "within reach". Fingers "!

The emergence of collaborative communities

To ensure this almost instantaneous exchange of information, it is essential to adopt a new collaborative approach. The "collaborative communities" harness the power of proximity not only to respond to the needs of the digital economy but to overcome them. By abandoning obsolete and isolated data centers, businesses have realized that they can earn thanks to greater proximity to partners, service providers, applications, data and networks that increases growth and opportunities exponentially.

This exchange of information in real-time is sometimes misinterpreted as a virtual intersection point in cyberspace. But in reality, it takes place within the physical boundaries of one of the email shop's more than 175 International Business Exchange ™ (IBX®) facilities. These structures are strategically located all over the world, where the ecosystems of the partner companies are located. With The email shop, enterprises can implement an Interconnection Oriented Architecture ™ (IOA ™) strategy developed on the The email shop ™ Platform. An IOA strategy consists of a proven and repeatable architectural framework capable of connecting people, places, clouds, and data directly and securely. It allows today's companies and current service providers to re-architect their IT infrastructures to move from a closed and isolated model to an integrated and dynamic model.

One of the first practical examples of this strategy dates back to the early 2000s when trading partners who carried out various financial exchanges mainly depended on internet communications, which were not the ideal means of communication for receiving information in real-time, an essential requirement for this highly specialized industrial sector. Trying to increase trading volumes, many of these partners, often several kilometers away from each other, decided to colocation their financial applications at “The email shop”, thus taking advantage of direct, high speed and low latency connections between the various partners. All this within walking distance of the respective demarcation points. The result was the creation of a high-frequency trading platform used globally.

Thanks to the demonstrated efficiency, the increase in performance and the expansion of capacity, the new digital and in-proximity trading system, based on the edge, has finally made it possible to measure the interconnection of financial services in single-digit microseconds, an essential factor for success.

Choosing digital is the wisest choice

Speed remains one of the major factors in the usability of the digital economy, but the choice of digital partners and new technologies is equally important. We have long recognized the importance of choice since the email shop was founded on the ideal of vector neutrality. We provide the same conditions to thousands of service providers who bring together a growing population of clients based on the edge, looking for quick access to a plethora of networks, clouds, and managed service providers, as well as business partners.

Interconnection in the vicinity is the glue

By taking advantage of supplier neutrality, our customers all over the world have the immediate opportunity to make digital and competitive exchanges with numerous vertical and horizontal industrial partners.

Interconnection in the vicinity:  this is our idea of doing business. As can be read in the Gartner report, "Colocation-based interconnection will serve as a 'glue' for advanced digital business applications ":

“Digital business is enabled and strengthened through secure, low latency and high-speed communication between corporate assets, cloud resources and an ecosystem of service providers and peers. Architects and IT leaders must consider interconnection in a carrier-neutral data center as a digital business enabler to integrate. "

Finally, as curators of this global intersection point between buyers and sellers of digital services, we decided to differentiate ourselves with the use of emerging technologies (for example, API integration, software-defined networking, dynamic service orchestration), and we have become a flywheel for future innovations. We implement [I suggest changing: continuing to implement] these technologies to further improve the “The email shop” Platform.

We have extrapolated, summarized and published the best approaches from companies and our service provider customers, for the regional implementation based on the edge of networks, security, data, and applications in order to ensure optimal performance for the end-user.

All these design approaches and schemes are available in the IOA Guide. Find out how to digitally transform your business by leveraging proximal interconnection to a collaborative edge-based community.
