COVID-19 has expedited digital adoption in every business across every industry.It has also highlighted the critical role digital infrastructure and technology play in enabling business success. Digital infrastructure matters more than ever, thus, modern digital infrastructure(data center, network, and hardware)should be fully abstracted through APIs and orchestrated through software. This approach empowers application developers to deploy and manage distributed infrastructure at software speed, so they can focus on what’s important. Such abstractions require building real time observ ability into infrastructure state and developing programmatic interfaces through which the desired state can be defined declaratively, for any component, or any combination of components, end-to-end from the edge to cloud.

Significantly, one of the leading Critical Digital Infrastructure Providers who has spread its footprints across the globe while successfully operating in more than 130 countries with its standardized quality products and solutions is Vertiv Energy.
