How is a hybrid network adapting to meet data centre demand?

With the increase of data centre builds in a divergence of data centre locations, global connectivity demands have escalated. Hyperscalers are increasingly dependent on fast, reliable connections to support their data-heavy services. This session will discuss how terrestrial and subsea networks are developing to meet data centre demand.  

• How does the increase in number and size of data centres in impact demand for subsea capacity and, considering the normal 3-7-year cable deployment lead time, how will growing demand be met in the future?   

• How important are carrier-neutral subsea landing stations to the health and effectiveness of the international wholesale capacity market? 

• How are the development of high-capacity routes and the increasing availability of dark fibre enabling developing regions to become leading data centre destinations?
