Future of IT infrastructure is everywhere…
…except corporate data centers—they are dead
It’s a hybrid world, blending cloud and edge…
… core workloads are shifting to the edge
Future infrastructure is an ecosystem of partners…
…cloud is not the answer, it’s part of the conversation
Need to securely intersect providers and partners…
…with end-to-end transparency

Its goal is to track, measure and forecast the growth in bandwidth
required for direct traffic exchanges that enable private
interconnections among companies supporting digital business.
THE GLOBAL INTERCONNECTION
INDEX IS AN ANNUAL GLOBAL
BASELINE
Interconnection Bandwidth is defined as the total capacity
provisioned to privately and directly exchange traffic with a
diverse set of counterparties and providers, at distributed IT
exchange points inside carrier-neutral colocation data centers.
INTERCONNECTION BANDWIDTH
This Index contains forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that may

Step 1: Build Hubs
AMERICAS EMEA ASIA-PACIFIC
• Firewall, load balancer.
• VPN, proxy, DNS.
• 1-4 cabinets. • 2+ connections to NSPs
and ISPs.
Deployment Functions ConnectionsComponents
• Routers and switches.
• Network and IT appliances.
1 Network optimization
Getting started: Localize and optimize traffic in 1-2 hubs
When complete,
customers
demonstrated:
• 85% reduction in
latency.
• 10x the bandwidth.
• 1/10 the cost.
Optimize:
• Last mile (internet).
• ISP (offload).
• Cloud connectivity.
• WAN connectivity.
• International links.
• Third-party partner
links.
