Since EasyStreet opened its doors in the mid ‘90s, the company has been synonymous with superior connectivity. Now — with the worldwide IT community poised to take advantage of the rapidly growing presence of cloud computing — connectivity is even more vital.
“As virtualized infrastructures and the demand for ‘anywhere, anytime’ access continue to increase, connectivity has become as important as processing power for users — meaning a company’s implementation of cloud computing will succeed or fail based on the quality of the end-user connection,” says Kevin Dean, a senior vice president at Interxion, Europe’s leading provider of colocation services.
“Maximum bandwidths and multiple connectivity options will drive adoption of the pay-per-use model, and anything less will have the reverse effect,” he adds in support of colocation offerings such as EasyStreet’s. “A carrier-neutral data center can provide the widest possible range of connectivity options, and with increased choice, comes more opportunities for lower costs.”
