These days, everyone’s abuzz about hyperscale and edge data centers. Why?
Even as both terms can be easily searched online, it is important to highlight why they matter in the context of local IT. Here are some reasons why.
Interaction with data. In the not-so-old past, entertainment was mostly a one-way street, as one watches TV or listens to the radio, the giggles or occasional displeasure does not directly and instantly reach the content creators. In the internet age, data is many to many, all to all. Not only is the content richer and more dense, the interaction is critical to the overall experience. Edges and hyperscale data center facilities ensure that data is less laggy and is more accessible.
Extending the footprint. While globalization has removed most e-boundaries, the beauty of edges and local hyperscalers is that since the data center is local, local content can be curated, applications auto conform based on where the user is. This is on premise on a large scale.
No longer just cache. The irony about 109 million or so Filipinos is that when accessing the data of technology providers like Google, Amazon, Facebook, Alibaba or Microsoft, the nearest data center zones are either in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore or Japan. As these tech giants set up hyperscalers and edges in the Philippines, they are able to provide more services.
Data sovereignty matters. Similar to mandates and policies from countries like China and the United States, edge and hyperscalers local data center footprint ensures compliance to the need to host critical data and traffic locally.
Beeinfotech PH, the Philippines largest telco neutral data center is open to teaming up with edge locators and hyperscalers thru The HIVE data center. This facility has readily available areas that are intentionally bare and unconfigured to ensure that their proprietary and stringent requirements are complied with.
