“By 2028, 35% of large enterprises will employ private interconnects to connect to public cloud service providers (CSPs), up from less than 15% in 2024,” according to Gartner®.

To us, this growth is driving demand for secure, scalable, and flexible private connectivity across global enterprises.

Key competitive trends shaping this market include the rise of multi-cloud integration, accelerating adoption of software-defined cloud interconnect (SDCI) platforms, API-first automation with Infrastructure-as-Code, and enhanced security and compliance requirements.
