Cloud Interconnections should be built in minutes. Today, however, it’s not unusual for it to take months to turn up a new direct cloud interconnection. The reason it often takes months to build a direct cloud interconnection is that most people construct them with a device-centric, “Box- First” mindset. “Box-First” is what happens when you […]
As organizations move beyond the initial shock from the impact of COVID-19, they are starting to examine future needs. Many of them are moving applications out of their internal data centers and into either colocation facilities or public cloud environments. To make this change, these organizations are building new network interconnections at an increasing pace. […]
COVID-19 is impacting all aspects of how we live, work, and play. We’ve written about several of these impacts lately including the rapid increase in the use of cloud computing. As a result of this increase, there has also been a substantial increase in the number of cloud interconnections. But, what is a cloud interconnection? […]
The Internet of Things (IoT) is rapidly growing and today, is no longer just computers and phones. According to David Evans, former chief futurist at Cisco, “Today, literally anything can be connected, including tennis rackets, diapers, clothing, vehicles, and, of course, homes. And although people may find this unsettling, the network is also starting to […]

Even before the Coronavirus, the networking world has been suffering from an illness – the reliance on legacy vendors, hardware, and physical and manual processes to manage networks. This […]
Sometimes change is accompanied by a loud BANG and other times change quietly sneaks in with the slightest of whispers. It seems that in the case of using software to construct network interconnections the latter is happening. Because of the ongoing impact of COVID-19 on our communications infrastructure, BANG or whisper, we all have a […]
