Building a secure, flexible connectivity foundation
Ralph Berndt, Sales and Marketing Director at inq. SA
Globally, companies are embracing multi-cloud and hybrid strategies. In 2023 alone, organisations around the world spent $270 billion on cloud infrastructure services, a growth of $45 billion compared to the previous year. As such, connectivity must adapt to handle the complexity of data transit across dispersed geographic locations. This is where inq. Fabric comes in by delivering a private, software-defined connectivity solution that isolates sensitive data from the public internet, enhancing security and compliance.
Think of Fabric as a foundational tool for businesses who are looking for low-latency access to global data centres. This technology enables efficient, secure data flows across borders and between cloud providers. By reducing bottlenecks and centralising connectivity, Fabric aligns with the agility and scale today’s digital landscape demands.
Traditional cloud connectivity often struggles to balance the security and speed required by distributed business models. With direct links to data centres worldwide, Fabric minimises latency, ensuring that mission-critical data arrives where it is needed without delay. In industries like finance and healthcare, where every second counts, this reliable performance is invaluable.
A secure environment
The use of private, software-defined networks isolates data transfers from potential threats on the public internet. Fabric’s network isolation strengthens data integrity while ensuring sensitive information remains protected. As cyber risks increase, private connectivity provides a safeguard for companies focused on compliance and data sovereignty.
Furthermore, Fabric’s secure and scalable infrastructure supports companies expanding across geographies, offering a streamlined way to connect new sites and cloud resources as the business grows. Centralising connectivity management helps reduce the complexity associated with onboarding new regions or services, positioning organisations to focus on operational goals rather than network logistics.

Businesses investing in solutions like Fabric are equipping themselves to scale in tandem with an increasingly digital, cloud-centric economy. For businesses looking to strengthen their security and efficiency while integrating cloud services, Fabric provides a critical layer in a future-ready connectivity strategy.
In today’s global economy, businesses face the constant challenge of balancing performance, scalability, and security. Solutions like inq. Fabric offers a strategic approach that enhances connectivity and aligns with the complex needs of modern enterprises, empowering them to drive innovation and growth on a secure, agile foundation.
