Help desk isn't able to help Has anyone done a copper → fiber migration at Equinix recently? How did you order it (portal, ticket, account manager)? CheersThe Data Center is Evolving - Are You?
Times moves fast...don't they? As the line between public and private cloud continues to blur, we're seeing the very definition of "data center" evolve right alongside it. Colocation, edge, interconnection - these aren't just technologies anymore. They're becoming foundational building blocks in how hybrid cloud actually operates today. We used to think of hybrid as static: pair a hyperscaler with some on-prem gear and bada-bing, bada-boom, call it a day...right? Wrong. That model no longer cuts it. Now, we're watching new hybrid patterns emerge that are more agile, distributed, and value-driven. Let's face it, it's no longer about where the workloads are - it's about how infrastructure adapts to optimize performance, cost, and connectivity in real-time. What are you seeing in your markets? Are you rethinking their hybrid strategies through the lens of colocation and interconnection? Are edge facilities shifting the center of gravity? Would love to hear your take - what are your thoughts?How to Design and Implement a Hybrid MultiCloud Architecture
