How Data Center Location Impacts Performance and Security
Picking the data center where your business-critical data will live is not easy. With a decision so important, there are a number of key factors to be considered, and one of those is data center location. Where your colocation site is located primarily influences latency, security, and compliance, but also whether you have good network […]
Cloud Repatriation in 2026: Costs, Compliance, and Control
After a decade of cloud-first momentum, enterprises today are taking a closer look at where workloads actually belong, as cost pressures, performance requirements, and regulatory constraints are becoming difficult to ignore. Enterprise cloud adoption is entering a new phase, reflecting broader maturation in cloud strategy and bringing renewed focus to the discussions around cloud repatriation. […]
From Cloud to Colocation: Why Interconnection Is a Must-Have
Hybrid IT has become the default operating model for modern enterprises. Workloads now live in many places at once: a core application may sit in a colocation facility, data analytics may run in the cloud, while edge devices process information closer to users. What ties these moving parts together is not the individual platforms but […]
The Role of Colocation in Media and Entertainment: How Data Centers Enable Providers
It’s not breaking news anymore that the media and entertainment sector has become inseparable from its underlying digital infrastructure. High-resolution content creation, global streaming platforms, interactive gaming, and real-time news distribution all depend on the ability to move and process enormous volumes of data with the least possible delay. Because of this, it’s becoming impossible […]
Leveraging Server Power Management: An Underused Data Center Energy-Saving Feature
Addressing IT infrastructure efficiency and server power management is one of the most important subjects of improvements targeting data center sustainability and energy performance. Limiting power usage is essential to reducing the environmental impact of data centers and meeting future sustainability regulations and standards. As demand for renewable energy (and certification) is overgrowing supply, these […]
How AI is Transforming Data Center Networking
Data center networking architectures are under a major transformation, and this large-scale change is linked closely to the explosive growth of AI. By 2025, AI workloads could account for nearly 30% of all data center traffic, exposing critical limitations in traditional data center networking architectures. Unlike conventional cloud applications that primarily use north-south traffic patterns, […]
Network Latency: Root Causes and Solutions
In the past few years, “latency” has advanced into the honorable status of a swear word. Without exaggeration, several in-game chats have labeled “lag” or “laggy” as swear words (among many other seemingly innocent words), creating even more “lag” in understanding the already heavily censored communication. But gaming is not the only field where network […]
Understanding Dark Fiber Connectivity and Its Benefits
The sudden boom of AI in the past two years has led to a significant increase in data generation and processing requirements. In 2024, the global AI market was valued at approximately $279.22 billion, with projections indicating substantial growth in the coming years. By 2025, it is expected that data generated globally will reach 181 […]
Why Bare Metal Servers Are Popular Again?
Bare metal servers are making a strong comeback, and if you’re responsible for IT infrastructure, you may be wondering whether your organization should get on this train. Virtualized environments can be great for specific workloads, however, VMs do have to share resources, which puts bare metal servers in a more special position. Unlike virtualized environments […]
Setting Up Low Latency Server Environments for Businesses
It’s needless to emphasize anymore that speed is everything in today’s digital world. But what ensures speed for today’s critical business applications? When we talk about low latency in server environments, we’re talking about the time it takes for the data to travel from one point to another. When a customer wants to buy something, […]
