“Education and other research organizations are on the forefront of digital transformation”
Today’s colleges, universities and research institutions aren’t the paper-based learning environments of the past. In some cases, they are leading the adoption of digital technologies and education tools. Beyond that, many education institutions provide digital platforms to further the education and discovery of their students and staff. Researchers must be empowered with robust data tools to continue their most important projects – and higher education organizations are often responsible for acquiring and maintaining those tools.
Research is a data-intensive endeavor, and data-driven pursuits require both adequate computing power to collect and analyze that information as well as sufficient bandwidth for moving that information from one group of researchers to another or maintaining a central storage location accessible via low latency network options. As education institutions place increasing value on their digital offerings and build new online learning platforms, they face challenges such as real estate costs, operating costs and latency. CoreSite’s hyper-connected data centers offer colleges, universities, education platforms and research institutions the data center solutions they need to solve these challenges.

Power and networking costs, dedicated operational and security staff, and cooling efforts all must be considered beyond the expense of basic equipment.

In addition, CoreSite focuses on maintaining scalability for its customers.
