StarHub, KINX (Korea Internet Neutral eXchange), and ARTERIA Networks extend service reach to global audiences via ServiceFabric – Digital Realty’s service orchestration platform.
Digital Realty has confirmed continued momentum in APAC of its service orchestration platform ServiceFabric that interconnects workflow participants, applications clouds and ecosystems on PlatformDigital – its global data center platform.
Over 30 APAC partners are now listed in Service Directory, a central marketplace that allows Digital Realty partners to highlight their offerings, extend their reach to global enterprises and scale into new markets, reaching over 5,000 customers of Digital Realty.
New Asia Pacific partners now available on Service Directory include Singapore’s StarHub, KINX, which operates the largest layer-2 based internet exchange in South Korea; and ARTERIA Networks, a leading enterprise-focused telecommunications carrier in Japan.
As APAC enterprises look to deploy private AI applications which rely on low latency and the private exchange of data, an open interconnection and orchestration platform is critical.
Through ServiceFabric, customers are now able to easily find, access and manage connectivity and digital solutions from service providers such as StarHub, KINX and ARTERIA Networks.
Through Service Directory’s ‘Click-to-Connect’ capability, Digital Realty customers can orchestrate and automate on-demand connections to the services they need, significantly streamlining workflows and removing manual configuration steps.
This also enables customers to generate secure service keys, granting controlled access to resources and partners with customizable security parameters, as well as automate approval workflows and facilitate connections to Service Directory, paving the way for seamless interconnectivity.
Govind Choudhary, Vice President, Strategy & Business Development, Asia Pacific, Digital Realty said: “We are delighted with the continued momentum of our ServiceFabric platform in Asia Pacific. The open platform, with its versatile and well-connected ecosystem that continues to grow, provides our customers with a dynamic environment that empowers them to innovate more freely, adapt swiftly to global changes, and optimize their AI strategies.”
Tan Kit Yong, Head of Business Group, StarHub, said: “Through our advanced low-latency connectivity at Digital Realty locations in Singapore, powered by ServiceFabric, we’re enabling seamless peering connections and highly efficient data transit. This allows Digital Realty customers to leverage StarHub’s robust infrastructure for their most demanding AI and data-driven workloads.”
KwanWoo Kim, Director, Global Business Strategy, KINX, said: “ServiceFabric Service Directory provides a unique platform that empowers Digital Realty customers to seamlessly connect with KINX and our CloudHub service – Korea’s largest cloud connectivity platform. This partnership will bridge the gap between the Korean and global markets, enabling ICN10 enterprise customers to establish private, secure connections to major cloud providers in Korea – as well as KINX customers to connect with global cloud regions.”
Tatsuya Ohkubo, Vice President, Corporate Business Div, ARTERIA Networks, said: “ServiceFabric Service Directory enables businesses to access and use cloud and connectivity services in an open and dynamic way. We are excited that ARTERIA Networks’ services will now not only serve Digital Realty customers in Japan but will have global reach.”
