Data Center POST, Kathy Xu (DCP-KX) Question: How important is Software-Defined Networking for the industry and what is your company doing to implement and deploy this technology capability?
EdgeCore, Ryan Oro (EdgeCore-RO) Answer: Software-Defined Networking plays a critical role in enabling enterprises to simply and rapidly access an ecosystem of cloud services. Our company is working directly with leading Software-Defined Networking providers to offer low-latency access to leading public clouds across our national platform.
DCP-KX Q: Are you seeing Artificial Intelligence and/or Machine Learning deployed or planning to deploy in your business, and how?
EdgeCore-RO A: We are starting to see the use of Artificial Intelligence in the data center. AI will provide our company data that we can use to proactively access risk components across the physical layer in the data center. This data should ultimately result in increased uptime to businesses that rely on our services for their mission-critical operations.
