Since the dawn of the internet’s astounding connection capabilities, the world has opened up in new and previously unimaginable ways, paving new inroads for innovation and collaboration. Yet, since the advent of this world wide web, it’s had its foibles too. Yes, the internet and the connectivity that creates it is full of eccentricities (and in worse cases, pitfalls) that seem to intensify as demands on connections grow. A perfect digital world is unattainable — but what is the closest you can get to having control in an unpredictable world? How close can an organization get to perfect interconnection? We think it’s safe to say that for those ideal outcomes, [...]

Want to learn more about peering? Here’s a quick run down of the key aspects and benefits. What is peering, anyway? Sometimes called network peering or internet peering, peering at its most basic definition is when networks interconnect, allowing them to exchange traffic. At its core, it is about the transmitting and sharing of data. With a typical internet connection – what’s called a transit connection – network operators (or end users) purchase the connection from someone else and pay to have their network traffic carried for them. In a peering setup, there are no third parties and no additional charges beyond the costs associated with powering the necessary routers [...]

IT infrastructure has become even more critical than ever. Whether you are a mid-size company or large enterprise, you need to be able to connect to a reliable network that has a low risk of downtime and do so cost effectively.

admin_farnamdev2020-09-29T10:21:34-05:00

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 [...]

Stay Cool and Efficient with Hot Aisle Containment

admin_farnamdev2020-07-30T10:58:10-05:00

Providing adequate cooling in a data center can quickly become a costly endeavor. It is a critical function to ensure your equipment is running efficiently and does not overheat. Cooling can account for a large percentage of a data center’s power consumption. That means high power costs for you and ultimately your customers. So, how do you keep those costs down? Consider hot aisle containment. But what is hot aisle containment? Hot Aisle Containment is a method of data center cooling that directs hot air to specific aisles in the data center to prevent it from mixing with cool air.
