How Gravity³ drives next-gen compute and service capability demands

In the data center world, “data gravity” has been a term for many years. As more data gets collected, the more it pulls resources into proximity. Speed of light still affects the time to value—the closer the processing, the faster “time to value” and often lower cost. Data gravity is now being influenced by networks, access to fiber, and high-speed 5G and people.

We call this “Gravity³”—the intersection between people, networks, and data.

This dynamic has shifted the focus of resource placement from the traditional data gravity of the Tier 1 environment to “Gravity³,” which integrates people gravity, network gravity, and data gravity to solve next-generation compute and service capability demands.
