Transforming Connectivity: Managed Services in the Era of Web 3.0
Tuesday, 21 January, 3-3:45 PM
Location: MPCC, Coral 1

The beauty of the Internet is that it is constantly innovating and evolving to improve upon itself. Web 1.0 quickly transitioned to Web 2.0 and now Web 3.0 is bringing a whole new set of Next Generation Internet Models — emerging frameworks that introduce improvements in speed, security, privacy, decentralization and interoperability. Driven by new Web 2.0 technologies like blockchain, artificial intelligence (AI), 5G and IoT, today’s Next Generation Internet Models are being developed to meet the evolving needs of Web 3.0. The Managed Services they offer are becoming a critical additional offering for data centers to extend to customers to grow and thrive in the ever-evolving Internet economy. In this panel, we’ll discuss the proliferation of Managed Services offerings, how data centers and providers are partnering to serve customers holistically in a way they’ve never been able to before, where the synergies and disconnects lie, and what’s next in this rapidly changing space.
