7 Ways Edge Data Centers Just Make Sense

Danielle Jaccheo2025-02-06T12:32:22-06:00

The demand for faster, more efficient and reliable data processing is at an all-time high. These demands will only keep increasing over time. Edge data centers have emerged as a pivotal solution, bringing computation and data storage closer to the data source. Here are seven compelling reasons why edge data centers like 1623 Farnam are indispensable, complete with real-world examples to demonstrate their impact. 1. Reduced Latency Latency is a critical factor for modern applications, from streaming services to autonomous vehicles. By positioning data centers near end-users, edge facilities significantly reduce the distance data must travel, resulting in quicker data processing and real-time responsiveness. Example: In the gaming industry, low [...]

How AI is Driving a New Age for Edge Data Centers

Danielle Jaccheo2024-10-09T12:38:21-05:00

Artificial Intelligence has been dominating the IT sphere for some time now — it’s redefining how we build our infrastructure, changing the nature of power procurement and delivering massive amounts of value to customers and end users. Many of the most well-known AI applications include anything from autonomous vehicles to smart city infrastructure, and as a result, we’ve come to know AI as an instantaneous decision-maker, processing data in milliseconds. Naturally, this is where edge data centers shine. Positioned closer to the data source, edge data centers minimize latency, ensuring that AI applications can operate at the speed that their users desire. However, AI is also bringing a nuance to [...]

Is Edge Computing Still Cool?

Danielle Jaccheo2023-09-07T11:05:25-05:00

Where has the edge gone? It seems like only yesterday we were being told by everyone that was anyone in technology and telecommunications that the edge was everywhere — not just in our communities, schools or hospitals, but even in our own pocket. The edge was the word of choice when it came to describing the future of connectivity, bringing with it promises of next-generation use cases and applications. Where is that discussion now? In truth, the importance of edge computing (and the hype surrounding it) hasn’t gone away. In reality, it’s the opposite. It’s become a solution and connectivity paradigm that is so baked into our current technology maps [...]

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 [...]

The PTC conference is a mainstay of the telecom and data center conference circuit, and this year, 1623 Farnam was thrilled to make the long journey to sunny Honolulu where we had the opportunity to shake hands, make new connections and rejoin with old friends. While on site, our VP of Business Development Greg Elliott sat down with JSA TV to offer some insight into what makes our interconnection hub and edge data center so special. Of course, it starts with our strong foundations in Omaha and is underscored by our on-site internet exchange (if you haven’t checked out OmahaIX yet, now’s your chance). However, what makes the connectivity advantages [...]

Once again, we’ve come to the most wonderful time of the year. Yes, it’s time for holiday shopping, family visits, and general cheer — but on the business side, it’s the time when all organizations look forward and start planning for the new year. With every new fiscal year comes new IT goals, new operational aspirations, and new applications and technologies to incorporate. Of course, success across these areas means knowing just how to pivot to meet (or even exceed) new customer desires and more advanced corporate benchmarks. On the horizon for the upcoming year, we see the Metaverse, AI, XR, 5G (and 6G) as leaders that will guide how [...]
