The Role of a Regional Data Center in a Hyperscale Landscape

Danielle Jaccheo2024-08-07T11:36:42-05:00

Among the innumerable data centers that now span our globe and the countless organizations across technology, healthcare, government, education and beyond that leverage them, there remains a small group of providers at the top. These hyperscalers, operating massive footprints of data centers and delivering expansive cloud solutions at scale, have long dominated the digital infrastructure space. It’s easy to see why hyperscale providers have found their enduring place in the sun in a rapidly-growing, densifying and evolving digital landscape. They possess the means to manage enormous facilities, deliver high levels of scalability and cost efficiency while remaining at the forefront of technological innovation. Not to mention, as far as IT [...]

Why are Data Centers Becoming Cloud Nexus Points?

In “Back to the Future II,” protagonist Marty McFly finds his future self and family living in a fanciful home where his son asks the kitchen to bring him fruit and future Marty connects with his boss on a video call in the year 2015. The prognosticators behind the film didn’t get everything right (future Marty still gets faxes, after all), but many of the elements imagined when the movie was written over three decades ago have come to fruition. The smart home and appliances or communications and video gaming devices depicted in the past’s most idealized dreams for the future aren’t a far cry from many of the things [...]

The Hybrid and Multicloud Must-Have: Building a Well-Founded Ecosystem

Danielle Jaccheo2023-02-16T14:11:55-06:00

2023 is being hailed as the year of the cloud — or at least, much like the years that came before it, a year in which cloud usage will continue to evolve and contribute to a growing share of an organization’s resources and success. Toward the end of 2022, Forbes noted that multicloud will continue to be an in-demand strategy, citing reports that showed how 84% of mid-to-large companies stated a goal of adopting a multi-cloud strategy by 2023. In the same timeframe, Gartner revealed that new spending was continuing to shift to cloud options, as evidenced by an 11.3% projected growth for software spending in 2023. A continuation of [...]

A 6G Crash Course: What’s Headed Our Way?

admin_farnamdev2022-11-22T09:46:43-06:00

5G is certainly having its heyday, and the entire IT ecosystem is still in the midst of 5G densification, use case development, and full-on rollout. It’s no surprise that 5G would garner so much press — as with every new generation cellular technology, it brings a lot of value, innovation, and enhanced capabilities to businesses and users of all kinds. In fact, the influence of 5G is so extensive that by 2030, the economic impact of 5G is expected to reach $227 billion — in the manufacturing industry alone. Take into consideration the huge implications this technology will have on mobile communications, healthcare, government, entertainment, and more, and it’s clear [...]
