Time is money. And, when it comes to data center builds, we’re talking a lot of money. For colocation centers that are onboarding new tenants, every extra day it takes for a new renter to be fully moved in usually results in a highly painful loss of revenue. The tenants feel the pain as well. These delays can negatively impact their expansion requirements, slow down new product releases, restrict their scalability, and create an unwelcome traffic jam of internal project delays. When it comes to data centers, time isn’t just money, it’s solid gold! For multi-tenant facilities, one of the greatest logjams is waiting on factory-built cages to be available and shipped.   This is why so many...

Living On The Edge

Living On The Edge

What will living on the edge be like? As in, living in the world of edge computing? The short answer is it will be much of the same. Just better. First of all, the market comes up with these terminologies that continue to confuse the industry. Edge computing is nothing other than distributed computing whereby you're bringing computing closer to the user. Why you’re doing this is so the user is able to access information quicker in an edge computing environment than they were before. This is because we live in a world of milliseconds. The architecture that existed before and would be practiced today is between 15 to 30 millisecond response time. That’s granted you've got fast enough...
