The Gamer’s Edge Revisited

2021-05-05T10:10:34-05:00

Traditional multiplayer games, such as Fortnite, Minecraft and World of Warcraft connect you with players in your own home or across the globe. Part of the challenge and thrill of playing comes with the reacting to the unexpected delivered by interacting with other gamers. You connect to the platform via your internet connection and the graphics are processed on your gaming device. <Just for fun, you can check out a list of the hottest multiplayer games HERE.> Conversely, cloud gaming is gaining momentum and allows players to access and play video games over a live streamed connection. Tech giants such as Google, Xbox and Amazon are all in a race [...]

Omaha and 1623 Farnam: A Tale of Symbiotic Expansion

2021-08-18T10:04:03-05:00

If you’ve been keeping up with 1623 Farnam’s updates, you’ve probably heard of our data center expansion. At $40 million, this renovation is helping us to better support the +5 million eyeballs we serve while paving the way for even greater regional, national and international network reach (an all-important aspect in today’s age of connectivity). Still, we know that this expansion tells a story that transcends our own four walls — and we’re thrilled to see the Midlands Business Journal help us tell that story. The growth at our interconnected edge facility is a testament to our hometown’s own growing eminence and role in the greater digital world. Nebraska is [...]

At The Edge with Bill Severn for Capacity Media

2021-08-18T10:04:21-05:00

Emerging technologies of today largely require extremely low latency to properly operate. The challenge of achieving such low latency is easily met through ‘the edge’. In simple terms, operating on the edge means bringing data transfers and computing power as close to the end user as possible. In the past, data had been shipped to and from core data centers to end users, sometimes traveling quite a distance. As technologies rapidly evolve and include features such as real time updates that require increasingly large bandwidths, this is no longer efficient. We are in the throes of a digital transformation, and one major aspect of this is moving operations to the [...]

Peering 101 – What is peering, anyway?

2021-04-15T18:15:46-05:00

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 [...]

In the Heart of the Country: How Network Diversity and Edge Computing can Work Simultaneously

2021-08-18T10:05:16-05:00

Here in Omaha, we know that location matters. As an edge data center in Omaha, the center of the USA, we are the backbone of the internet. Our recent feature in Telecom Ramblings is all about the advantages of our central location and our own Todd Cushing, explains what’s cool about Omaha, along with some lesser-known facts about our great midwest location. As Todd explains, “Omaha is a massive interconnection point for cloud, service, content providers and carriers. It’s located close to Google’s largest North American cloud node and is in close proximity to a Facebook hyperscale facility.” Content companies, ISPs, communications companies, government and educational facilities can all take [...]

CX, the Pandemic, and the Data Center

2021-08-18T10:06:04-05:00

Pipeline Magazine featured 1623 Farnam in its March 2021 Customer Experience issue. President Todd Cushing explains how over the last year especially, organizations have had to made a renewed commitment to the customer experience (CX). Companies across all sectors have had to innovate, reimage, reshape and overall do things in new and unique ways. What were once key differentiators and competitive advantages may have disappeared or lessened, so as Todd explains, it is more important than ever to ensure your company is creating value in this new age. This makes the communication and interaction you have with your customers all the more important. As we all work to be more [...]

2021-01-29T12:41:15-06:00

Finally, a particularly challenging year has come to an end. While we cannot be exactly sure what is on the horizon for 2021, we can surely breathe a sigh of relief for making it through a year of unexpected obstacles and the adjustment to a “new normal”.
