Equinix REIT : Global Tech Trends Survey Shows Digitization Accelerating Worldwide

Ancient Greek philosopher Heraclitus of Ephesus once said, 'The only thing that is constant is change.' That is certainly an apt description of 2020, when the COVID-19 pandemic ushered in sweeping changes across every industry and community. Organizations around the world had to fast-track their digital transformation to adapt to what has become known as the 'new normal.' And while digital technologies enabled us to quickly adjust to new ways of working, learning, connecting with family and friends and more, the pace of change shows no signs of slowing down. In the midst of this rapidly changing landscape, it's never been more important for organizations to understand the trends shaping the world around them.

To better understand the technology trends affecting businesses, Equinix captured insights from 2,600 IT decision-makers from diverse enterprises across 26 countries in the Americas, Asia-Pacific and EMEA regions. Now in its third edition, our annual Global Tech Trends Survey (GTTS) explores the impact of COVID-19 on digital infrastructure plans, cloud infrastructure and deployments, how 5G and sustainability are changing the IT infrastructure landscape, key digital priorities and threats, as well as interconnection use and benefits.
