Hyperscaler

What is a hyperscaler?

A hyperscaler is a cloud service provider capable of delivering massive, scalable, and highly automated infrastructures that can scale up or down according to demand. Hyperscalers operate globally distributed data centres and offer advanced services across areas such as computing, storage, networking, and AI.

Why are they relevant for businesses?

Because they provide access to virtually unlimited resources without the need to invest in on-premises infrastructure. Thanks to their scalability, organisations can respond quickly to changes in demand, innovate using new technologies, and optimise IT costs.

How do they fit into a cloud strategy?

Hyperscalers form the foundation of the public cloud and are the starting point for more advanced models such as multicloud or hybrid cloud, which combine their services to balance agility, security, and control.

How does Telefónica Tech add value in a hyperscaler-based multicloud strategy?

Telefónica Tech acts as a trusted integrator and managed service provider, orchestrating multiple hyperscalers within a single, coherent cloud strategy. We design, deploy, and manage multicloud environments that balance agility, security, performance, and governance.

Our role goes beyond infrastructure management: we provide unified visibility, cost control, security-by-design, and operational consistency across clouds, simplifying complexity for our customers.
