What’s New In Interconnection?

2021-08-16T14:55:03-05:00

Telecom carriers, colocation and data center providers, and internet exchanges have quickly pivoted to increase capacity and expand network routes. The reliance on connectivity means more tech advancements and innovative capabilities. Workloads are becoming more and more sensitive to latency. AR/VR, AI, and cloud gaming are all proof that data needs to be processed as close to the end user as possible, but also in a very secure way. These types of technologies are completely redefining the way we do business. These new technologies need high-quality network architecture, low latency routes, and global peering capabilities. All of these aspects rely on the foundation of rich, robust interconnection. But...then what? Hyperscalers [...]

Guiding a Sea Change in the Pursuit of Green Data

2021-08-12T10:29:20-05:00

Working towards a green future is an important movement happening across the globe. As data centers continue to serve as the home to the internet and the infrastructure that supports it, they only become more essential in the global communications green equation. So, it makes sense that we are seeing a growing trend for data centers to do their part in ‘greening up’ in ways both big and small. Collectively, We Can all Make a Difference As noted in Todd Cushing’s recent article in Digital Infra Network, “Significant progress can be built on the back of widespread, iterative change — even if those changes start small. Every movement starts somewhere.” [...]

Edge Data Centers – The Future’s Forefront

2021-08-18T09:53:02-05:00

As the world continues to implement high-speed-dependent applications like 5G and the Internet of Things, networking and IT require rich ecosystems at the edge. To make these latency-sensitive solutions work, computing needs to be as close to the end user as possible. But what does that actually look like? And are all data centers created equal? Well...not quite.Check out our recent feature in Telecom Review that explains what an edge data center is (and isn’t), the different types of data centers, as well as what the future looks like for edge computing.
