Quadversity - The Future of Data Infrastructure

In today's fast-paced digital landscape, where data is the lifeblood of businesses, ensuring high availability and uptime has become paramount. As companies increasingly rely on data and future AI-based applications, the need for robust infrastructure to support uninterrupted operations has never been greater.

As the old adage goes "Four birds in the hand are better than two in the glass bank!" has never been more pertinent. Many top tier organizations are turning to the concept of quadversity, a strategic approach that involves implementing four paths for all parts of their data centres and networks.

What does that mean?

Quadversity, as the name suggests, goes beyond a traditional diversity setup by incorporating four distinct paths for data transmission and connectivity. This approach not only enhances redundancy, but it also significantly reduces the risk of downtime due to network failures or disruptions. By spreading data across multiple paths, companies can mitigate the impact of potential outages and ensure uninterrupted access to critical resources.

Recent global natural disasters, major social media application/software outages and political instability in some regions has meant many OTTs (Over-The-Top service providers) and tech companies are implementing quadversity solutions both within their existing routes and between different regions as mandatory.

Wholesale buyers may soon find that their customers won't proceed with a project unless they can get four paths, as nobody wants to be on the front page of global tabloids for having an outage of their critical infrastructure,

So, what can we do?

By embracing quadversity now and talking to your customers about it, companies can get ahead of everyone else and future-proof their infrastructure. The ability to maintain a continuous access to data and services is critical for driving innovation, serving customers, and staying competitive in today's digital economy. especially in the era of AI-based applications.
