The COVID-19 pandemic created an unprecedented, sustained uptick in connectivity requirements for enterprise, public sector and educational institutions. Inherent characteristics of the multi-tenant data center (MTDC) industry and its customer/service provider ecosystems have proven instrumental in meeting this surge in connectivity requirements.
