Sami Slim CEO of Telehouse France explains the business case behind the company ' s new strategic implementation as digital migration surges and prices increase
The surge in digital migration across the globe in the aftermath of the pandemic comes at a price , as well as a benefit . Sami Slim , CEO of Telehouse France , explains the business case behind his company ’ s new data centre in Marseille and why close collaboration with its partner , Elco Systems , will mitigate its risks and exploit its benefits .
Data centres are blossoming across the globe ; where you plant those blooms is vital . It ’ s all about location , so you must get it right . Here ’ s why :
Let ’ s assume you are a software designer for a Munich-based German engineering company , and you need to send information to a client in Brazil about its mining operation in the middle of a remote quarry miles from anywhere . That information will travel across the internet hubs in - let ' s say - Frankfurt , then up to the U . S ., down through Miami and then to Sao Paulo .
So far , so good . That little packet of data left home and arrived at its destination faster than your eye moved from one word to the next in this sentence . But … every little packet of data costs money . That round trip from Bavaria to Southwestern Brazil . It would probably have more than 250 milliseconds of latency . It arrived late .
That latency , according to Sami Slim , CEO of Telehouse France , makes the software those two companies are using “ less useful and less powerful ”. technologymagazine . com 185
