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 [...]
