Data Center Interconnection (DCI) stories - Page 8

To share data, content and to communicate with each other, Data Centers need technology able to link them together. Thanks to high-speed packet-optical connectivity, data crosses lands, countries and seas to deliver information between these different entities. Today, information can be carried out in different ways depending on the distance between two centres and the number of connections. DCI allows organisations to be more efficient with their network and to be faster with multi-connectivity.
