You thought we were going to do a major end-of-year review of telecom trends and leave out all things WAN? No, no. Not on our watch.
Host and Senior Manager of Enterprise Research Greg Bryan broke out the data for this bonus New Years episode of TeleGeography Explains the Internet.
Back in July, we touched on how UK data centers were struggling to stay cool through unseasonably warm temperatures.
Five months later, our telecom reading list starts off with a very different story: Equinix is considering a multi-year project to raise its data center temperatures.
We're looking back at all things telecom in 2022. And we're doing it the best way we know how: rounding up our analysts and inviting them to discuss major findings in their areas of research on TeleGeography Explains the Internet.
If you want to dive in from the very beginning, you can listen to part one over here. And if you're ready for more, keep scrolling.
Part two takes us on a journey through the last 12 months of submarine cable news, SD-WAN, security, and major world events that intersected with telecom infrastructure.
What will we remember about this year in telecommunications?
And what does the landscape look like as we kick off 2023?
Greg Bryan (and his rapidly color-changing beard*) posed these questions to six TeleGeography experts in a rousing two-part episode of TeleGeography Explains the Internet. You might have caught the first episode earlier this week.
You may have heard that the WAN Market Size Report just got a brand-new feature—the WAN Market Size Report Forecast.
Predicting global, regional, and country level data for the next five years, this first edition takes the data from the 2021 report and extrapolates it to 2026.
Here's how we did it.
James “Jim” Capuano has logged over 30 years in the telecommunications industry. And he's the CEO of Horizon, a service provider with more than 125 years of telecommunications experience.
I recently asked Jim to share some of his knowledge on TeleGeography Explains the Internet. In this episode, we view middle mile problems and solutions from a provider perspective and discuss how the middle mile is developing in the current WAN environment.
So far, we’ve looked at several more conservative approaches to constructing a hybrid WAN.
But what if we went all the way down the rabbit hole to an all Internet WAN?
For example, throwing a lot of bandwidth at the network and letting SD-WAN take care of the internet performance.
In 2021, MEF CTO Pascal Menezes walked us through the work MEF is doing on standardizing the enterprise network.
Nearly a year and a half later, Pascal is back on the pod to discuss what MEF has been doing since then.
Our first topic: Lifecycle Service Orchestration. What is it, how has it progressed, and what does it do for the carrier community?
As the WAN continues to evolve at warp speed, carriers, vendors, and enterprise IT infrastructure teams need to understand how these changes will affect the business of telecom.
That’s where our WAN Market Size Report comes in. With its data-driven model, this tool can provide a granular view down to the country level of the market opportunity for the underlay network or corporate WAN.
Want a sample from our latest report? Just keep reading.
This week, with the help of Jeremy Villalobos, COO of Orchest (formerly known as GoldConnect), TeleGeography Explains the Internet tackles automation from a carrier perspective.
