Maskell stresses

the vital nature of interconnectivity to securing Cologix ’ s place in the market . “ It ’ s fantastic to have

a massive state-of-the-art facility with an endless supply of power

and cooling , but can it be interconnected ? Is there a way for data to move in or out ?” he asks . “ It would be similar to building a beautiful fivestar resort on a remote island without a ferry service . Regardless of how nice it is , no one ’ s going to come !”
