What is Modern Data Management?
Modern data management refers to the strategies and technologies used to collect, store, process, and distribute data in real-time across multiple environments. This includes cloud, on-premises, hybrid, and edge systems. It’s more than just storage—it’s about making data accessible, secure, and actionable, whether for AI training models, business intelligence, or customer-facing applications.
To function efficiently, modern data management requires high-speed, low-latency connections between users, applications, and infrastructure—and that’s where network-centric data centers like 165 Halsey come in.
Why Network Infrastructure Matters
Networks are no longer just a piece of IT—they are the foundation of digital transformation. Businesses depend on seamless connectivity between multiple clouds, partner ecosystems, branch offices, and data centers. Downtime or bottlenecks aren’t just IT problems—they’re business problems.
165 Halsey enables mission-critical interconnectivity by offering:
- Carrier-neutral colocation with access to over 60 networks

Whether your business is sending terabytes of data to the cloud or ingesting real-time customer insights, reliable network infrastructure is the bedrock of effective modern data management.
Colocation as an Enabler of Data Strategy
One of the biggest challenges in modern data management is balancing performance, cost, and security. Colocation offers the perfect hybrid strategy—giving you the control of on-prem infrastructure with the connectivity benefits of cloud interconnection.
