Data centers provide a central access point for enterprise data and essential business applications. They are key to effective data governance, which helps organizations manage their most valuable asset while ensuring security and regulatory compliance. By migrating their resources to data centers, businesses enhance their IT infrastructure and connectivity, which improves business agility. The surging demand for data centers has made them a standard business requirement, rather than a luxury.

In today's digital landscape, data center colocation is essential for businesses undergoing digital transformation. Colocation allows them to outsource intricate IT data management of critical data and leverage managed services.

Different businesses require different levels of security and compliance. For example, some may need a Tier 4 data center, while others may only need a Tier 1 facility. Additionally, some organizations may require connections to data centers that comply with specific certifications, such as HIPAA, US-EU Safe Harbor, SSAE 16, or PCI.
