  Location, location, location. At 1623 Farnam we think and talk about location a lot. We’re all about it. The reason has a lot to do with our position in the middle of the country. 1623 Farnam Vice President of Sales, Linn Gowen, sat down with JSA TV to discuss why our facility’s central location is such a big deal. “When the fiber networks were first being built across the country years ago, they passed right through Omaha east-west, as well as north-south,” says Gowen, “So we are right in the nexus, if you will, of the fiber backbone. And as more and more fiber facilities have been built they [...]

In a Time of Crisis, Our Employees Step Up

2020-05-28T12:49:47-05:00

The 1623 Farnam team, like all of you, are definitely feeling the strains of the current global health crisis. COVID-19 has turned many of our lives upside down, causing millions of Americans to begin working from home if they are fortunate enough to have jobs that allow them to do so. But for many of us in the telecom industry, our jobs have been deemed “essential” by state and local governments. This means that we must continue to carry out these job functions as if they were business as usual. Data centers have been deemed as an essential business, since they represent the core locations where so many organizations [...]

What To Look For In Your Interconnection Facility

2020-06-30T08:39:34-05:00

Let’s imagine a scenario. Your business is looking for a new facility for their interconnection needs, but you’re not exactly sure what you should make sure your new place has. Let’s explore this further, and consider what might drive you to make this decision. If we zoom out a bit, we can consider what the benefits of edge interconnection are to begin with. Edge interconnection, or edge peering, allows your internet traffic to flow multi-directionally instead of the one-way traffic flows of yesteryear. At the edge, traffic is not going in one direction, it travels in multiple ways all at once. By enabling these multidirectional traffic flows and ultra low [...]
