By 2025, 80% of data will reside within the Enterprise. Digital Realty helps companies create cloud-adjacent centers of data exchange, avoid cloud and carrier lock-in, lower egress charges, optimize multi-cloud service chains, and remain compliant.
Digital Realty has the largest data center footprint in the world with 76 DC s in the U.S., 3 in Canada, 14 in APAC, 89 in EMEA and 24 in LATAM. Their Service Exchange is a 10 Gig SDN-enabled network backbone. They have dedicated connections to AWS, Azure, GCP and other cloud platforms.

- How much have your cloud egress charges grown in the past year? Is the growth in the next 1,2,3 years forecastable?
