Digital transformation continues to set the pace of global development , consolidating itself as an essential factor for economic and social progress .

Trends in digital infrastructure are shaping a more connected , efficient and sustainable technology landscape .
Emerging technologies such as edge computing , hyperconnectivity and sustainability are protagonists in this scenario , driving a significant change in the way companies and societies interact with the digital world .
According to a study by NTT DATA and MIT Technology Review , 98 % of companies in Latin America have started their digital transition and 80 % are already in the implementation or optimization stages . This data reflects
2 . Connectivity , key to digital transformation
In the business environment , competitiveness increasingly depends on the speed , stability and security of communications . Fiber optics , due to its ability to transmit large volumes of data at high speeds and with minimal latency , has become the fundamental pillar of corporate connectivity and a key driver to drive the digital transformation of organizations .
Enterprises adopting hybrid and multi-cloud strategies need network infrastructures with sufficient resiliency and bandwidth to handle data traffic between various platforms ( public , private , and at the edge ). Fiber optics enable the interconnection of distributed data centers , edge points and corporate offices , enabling a continuous flow of information and minimizing delays in critical business applications . an acceleration in the adoption of technologies that not only improves operational efficiency , but also increases competitiveness in increasingly demanding markets .
Trends that set the course :
1 . State-of-the-art Data Centers
Data Centers are becoming critical nodes of the digital economy . According to IDC , 50 % of large organizations will invest in more sustainable and scalable designs by 2025 . These investments seek to increase processing capacity and reduce environmental impact through the use of renewable energy and advanced cooling systems .
“ Data centers are evolving to be more efficient and secure , integrating technologies such as artificial intelligence to ensure an optimal and resilient operation ,” said Francisco Guzmán , Country Manager of Cirion Ecuador .
Hyperscalability and automation will also play a crucial role , allowing businesses to quickly adapt to the growing demands for data and connectivity in an increasingly interconnected world .
On the other hand , the ability of fiber optics to scale according to demand is essential to guarantee the continuity of operations , even in traffic peaks or in the face of the need to manage large volumes of data in real time . This flexibility of growth gives organizations the ability to expand their services without compromising the quality or security of connectivity .
Guzmán said : “ The expansion of connectivity through fiber optics and hybrid architectures is key to enabling more flexible and competitive business models . At Cirion , we work to build a robust infrastructure that enables businesses to adopt innovative and sustainable solutions .”
