Managing and orchestrating infrastructure and application workflows across locations and platforms is increasingly complex and inconsistent.
ServiceFabric™ aims to be the simple solution: through this service orchestration platform, companies can connect to anyone—anywhere, at any time—to unlock the value of data, improve your resilience, and enable secure, compliant, and reliable connectivity.
A Foundation Built on Collaboration
Data is at the center of an enterprise’s ability to innovate. As the volume of data continues to grow, too many businesses and organizations are being weighed down by Data Gravity—the phenomenon of data accumulating and continually attracting more data, additional services, and applications. This adds cost and complexity and makes extracting value from the data difficult. Unlocking the value of this data requires an open community of Service Providers and Enterprises together in one place (physically and virtually). Without the continued involvement and growth of Digital Realty partnerships with Service Providers, we wouldn’t be able to fulfill our mission to help our customers unlock the trapped value of their data and build interconnected, data-driven communities to the fullest extent possible. Without our partners, we wouldn’t be able to be us—the largest global provider of cloud- and carrier-neutral data center, colocation, and interconnection solutions.
That’s why building a robust community of Service Providers is critical to the success of ServiceFabric™. We can be the best conductor ever, but without gathering a group of strong players around us, we wouldn’t be able to orchestrate the levels of support our customers need to hit the right notes in today’s shifting scales of digital infrastructure. In order to perform at our best—and afford our customers the best performance capabilities—we are forming a deep partnership with cloud, software, and technology providers who are bringing together customers, technologies, and data.
Creating a Powerful Connected Data Community™
Digital Realty is committed to supporting our customers as they solve digital infrastructure challenges to unlock the value of data, and that means making it easy and efficient for them to access whatever services they need, when and where they need them. We view our community of partners as an advanced network of interconnected systems, products, and services that work together to remove barriers for our customers, which enables them to grow and scale.
