More people across the globe are using the internet, and broadband speeds are rising. The consumption of online videos continues to spike. A recent white paper from EdgeConneX addresses this very issue, and poses a potential response, or answer to these concerns: Edge Data Centers, or EDCs. Download the new EdgeConneX report focused on how the use of localized EDCs can produce transport cost savings, while also improving the experience for end-users.
Edge Computing & EDCs have Potential to Ease Internet Traffic Bottlenecks
Edge computing. It’s certainly a water cooler topic for those in the high performance computing (HPC) industry. But could edge computing be the next big thing for the data center industry, as well? A recent white paper from EdgeConnex explores how many data center providers, colocation companies — and colo customers — are turning toward the possibility of edge data centers to solve some of today’s concerns over high internet traffic and bandwidth overload.
Making the Case for Edge Data Centers
This white paper examines the latest trends in the broadband and video space, examines their implications for cable operators and other CSPs and explores what providers can do to overcome the challenges presented by the growing traffic bottlenecks. Download the new white paper from EdgeConneX that focuses on the use of localized Edge Data Centers®, rather than the standard large, centralized data centers in far-off locations, to deliver bandwidth-intensive content and latency-sensitive applications actions closer to end users.
What Traditional Data Center Service Providers Should Consider When Developing an Edge Strategy
