December 10, 2020Data Gravity Megatrend Expands to More Metros and Industries in New Report
On Sept. 28, the first report measuring and quantifying the Data Gravity megatrend was released. In it, we explained Data Gravity as a gravitational force that was impairing workflows, creating latency and impacting security. We also showed how Data Gravity was expanding on a global scale and the macro trends that were amplifying it along the way. Today, we're releasing Version 1.5 of the Data Gravity Index. You might be asking what's changed and why is this update so important? I have answers for you.
