How the Interconnected Edge Helps the Cloud Get Its Game On

2020-09-29T10:43:59-05:00

Capacity Media recently featured 1623 Farnam in an article written by Vice President of Business Development, Greg Elliott. It was two decades ago, at E3, a popular trade event for the video game industry, when enthusiasts were first able to witness a cloud gaming demonstration. Ten years later, in 2010, OnLive became the first publicly available remote cloud gaming platform. But even after Sony acquired OnLive just five years later and converted this technology along with another cloud service to create PlayStation Now, the reception was decidedly mixed. For one, the relaunched cloud gaming iteration still required powerful hardware, which runs contrary to the promise and value prop of cloud [...]

Are Enterprises Moving Away From Colocation?

2020-09-29T10:21:34-05:00

Colocation has long been a steady presence in the world of enterprise IT solutions. With the rise of the public cloud many predicted a decline in this kind of interconnection services. Instead, the converse is true: colocation is booming and does not look to slow any time soon. The interconnection market is growing, especially for larger organizations. Data centers across the board are spending more on their facilities as more enterprise businesses are using more colocation services than ever before. Rather than threaten or replace it, public cloud adoption has spurred the demand for colocation. As the cloud surges, so too does colocation. So what gives? To read more about [...]

Why is Remote Hands Becoming a Trend in IT Systems?

2020-08-20T15:05:53-05:00

Where it used to be considered an add-on luxury at times, remote hands services have become a staple of colocation facilities and data center service contracts. Adoption trends have pointed upward as the positive track record for remote hands grows. This means tenants are more comfortable with using the service. As quarantine measures surged, so did the implementation of greater remote hands work. This should not be viewed as a new trend, but as an acceleration of a pre-existing one. What’s so great about remote hands services? Glad you asked. Remote Hands Means Better Response Time Maybe you need some visual verification for inventory purposes or to better understand certain [...]
