Read details of each prediction from the official Equinix blog: http://eqix.it/2hn1bdh We can’t predict the future of the entire IT industry, but we sit at an unusually good vantage point at Equinix to make an educated, data-driven forecast about what we see coming. That’s because we have the capability to look at what’s trending with more than 8,000 customers across 21 markets within ecosystems that sit at the center of cloud, IoT and analytics growth. And the patterns we are seeing show a massive digital transformation under way. Digital has disrupted business as usual, and new revenue models and ways of competing are taking hold. To successfully make the shift to digital business, organizations are realizing they need transform IT by “flipping” their architectures from siloed and fixed to integrated and dynamic. This shift requires an interconnection-first strategy that enables enterprises and service providers to directly and securely connect their partners, customers and end users to anything, anywhere, on any device. Digital businesses simply can’t compete without an integrated and dynamic strategy to make that happen. As things change quickly, we're taking advantage of our special perspective at the center of it all to predict what you can expect in “7 Bold Predictions for the Connected Enterprise.” We’ll be exploring these predictions in more detail in the coming days, but these previews will get us started.
Interconnection matters now more than ever in today's cloud dominant world, and this is exactly what Corey Dyer, Equinix VP of Sales Central, highlighted at EVOLUTION Chicago on November 5, 2015 in explaining how Equinix's strengths help fuel the success of customers and partners. According to Corey, "We are entering an unprecedented era of Disruption in the Enterprise. We have reached a Tipping Point where Enterprises will hit workload execution barriers that must be solved". More importantly, only the Equinix Interconnection Platform™ provides the critical building blocks to implement an Interconnection Oriented Architecture™.

The document discusses how digital disruption is transforming enterprise IT architectures to be more user-centric and interconnected. It describes the challenges of aging infrastructure, more data and users/devices in more places. To address these challenges, the document proposes an Interconnection Oriented Architecture (IOA) that interconnects people, locations, clouds and data using a hub-based model with performance, ecosystem and data hubs to optimize user experience, bandwidth costs, multi-cloud access and analytics.

This document discusses how interconnection can support next generation digital health platforms. It notes that patient outcomes are driving digital transformation in health, with trends toward personalized care, real-time data integration across dispersed systems, and complex privacy regulations. This is prompting a shift from siloed legacy systems to integrated and dynamic processes enabled by cloud platforms and private interconnection between healthcare stakeholders. The document advocates that digital health platforms be architected using interconnection hubs that allow participants like pharma, providers, payers, and IT vendors to securely collaborate in real-time through services like cloud exchanges and direct private connections.
