The secret to AI success

If global enterprises currently agree on one thing, it’s that innovating with artificial intelligence (AI) is critical to long-term success. From product design and production through to customer use, AI supports innovation, efficiency, time to market, customer support, and personalization.

“Despite potential challenges and risks, organizations are confident that adopting AI will continue to be crucial for future proofing their business operations and remaining ahead of the competition.”
Raghunandhan Kuppuswamy

Building connectivity for the world of tomorrow

Perhaps you’re adopting new cloud applications? Maybe you’re exploring the possibilities for virtual collaboration following the shift to hybrid working? Or you may even be automating your operations with newly accessible Internet of Things (IoT) technologies.

Whatever type of digital transformation is taking place in your organization, one thing is for sure – fast, reliable network infrastructure and connectivity is becoming critically important.

More than ever before, you need an underlying infrastructure that supports, drives, and powers connectivity. Put this in place now, and you’ll take a huge stride towards future proofing your business.

With that in mind, let’s explore some of the digital changes on the horizon, as well as their implications for enterprise connectivity. We’ll outline what your business can do to mitigate network infrastructure issues. And we’ll explain how you can build a foundation of connectivity resilience by connecting to an Internet & Cloud Exchange.

Cloud Concentration risk – what it is and how to mitigate it

Cloud adoption is accelerating in the finance sector as changing customer expectations push banks and other financial institutions to emulate the speed, agility, scalability, and efficiency of cloud-native organizations. But while cloud adoption is highly beneficial, it does raise the risk of cloud concentration. So if you’re looking to adopt a multi-cloud strategy supported by resilient connectivity, this checklist outlines four capabilities you must be able to tick off in order to mitigate this risk.

  1. Distributed infrastructure
  2. Provider diversity
  3. True redundancy everywhere
  4. Stable and secure connections
  5. Digital sovereignty
  6. Hybrid and remote working

A distributed cloud exchange

With cloud adoption accelerating in the finance sector, and over-reliance on a single provider likely to be a greater regulatory concern moving forward, now is the time to address cloud connectivity. A distributed cloud exchange platform with secure connectivity can deliver these four components, supporting an effective multi-cloud strategy and mitigating cloud-concentration risk.

To make a multi-cloud environment even simpler to manage, you can use a distributed cloud exchange platform with a self-service portal and API automation. This gives you the flexibility to book bandwidth as and when it is required, and automatically scale in times of unexpected need.

Remote-triggered Blackholing for network operators

Denial of Service (DoS) and Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks are becoming more and more harmful. Not only the targets of such attacks suffer, but also the whole infrastructure of a network operator can be affected. Remote-triggered Blackholing is an instrument that can be used to stop DoS and DDoS attacks to specific targets in your network.

Be prepared for an attack

To be prepared, you need to set up an infrastructure against attacks well before any happens. In this white paper for network engineers, we give you an example of how to implement remote-triggered Blackholing.

Download the white paper to learn:

  • How to set up Blackholing
  • How to prepare for an attack
  • What to do when under attack

Our step-by-step instructions will help you to set up your infrastructure to use remote-triggered Blackholing to stop DoS and DDoS attacks to specific targets in your network.

How to optimize the usage of GlobePEER and GlobalPEER Remote

A BGP configuration guide

All our locations provide a local peering ecosystem, built by networks using the GlobePEER service. In addition, with access in one of our interconnected locations, you can peer remotely using GlobePEER Remote at every other one of these locations providing you with additional peering ecosystems.

This guide explains the DE-CIX services GlobePEER and GlobePEER Remote and gives router configurations examples for traffic optimization (configuration snippets for Cisco and Juniper routers).

Local and remote peering ecosystems

It shows you how to keep local traffic local by using the GlobePEER service while getting the most out of remote peering with the GlobePEER Remote service.

You will learn, for example, how to configure local peering at DE-CIX Dusseldorf or DE-CIX Marseille while simultaneously using GlobePEER Remote in Frankfurt to peer with networks connected in Frankfurt.

The power of peering

For digital businesses, almost every function is underpinned by the Internet. As the volume of data traffic continues to soar, and end-users demand seamless connectivity and lightning-fast speeds, peering has emerged as a critical enabler of network efficiency, reliability, and performance.

Raise revenue & enhance end user experience

From unlocking new revenue streams and enhancing customer experience to driving innovation, peering offers countless benefits that can position your company for sustained success.

Our ebook explains what peering is and how it can be used as a solution for:

  • Big data, IoT, and AI
  • Application optimization
  • Network optimization
  • Distributed data

Private networking functions are invaluable, but when the public Internet still needs to be a part of your network, how can you optimize it for your benefit?
