Text of the page (random words):
some undesirable area where abandoned factories are decaying or landfills are being reclaimed using closed loop water or refrigerant for cooling limits the drain on well water heat dissipation will have to be done without roaring like a jet engine now forget trying to get tax incentives pony up the same taxes as anyone else and create a decommissioning escrow fund for when the facility has reached its useful life and everyone should be happy any extra contributions for local schools or roads just sweetens the pot if these data centers really are as valuable as promoted there should be enough money to satisfy both shareholders and community stakeholders you ll know the tide has turned when people start requesting data centers be built nearby posted by t1 rex at 2 25 pm labels ai

headaches by john shepler back when all the network equipment fit into a literal broom closet and cat5 cables hooked it all together running a lan with a connection to the internet was an all in a day s work now you re dealing with multiple clouds multiple locations bad actors constantly trying to intrude and equipment going obsolete almost before you can even power it up the level of complexity is growing exponentially but your staff and resources aren t is there any way to simplify all of this make network woes someone else s problem you can keep doing it all yourself that means hiring more and more staff constantly refreshing hardware troubleshooting outages and dealing with outside attacks on a daily basis or you can let someone else take care of it the first approach to outsourcing network grief is to contract with a manage service provider or msp this is an outside company that acts as your it department you still own all the equipment and services but someone else provides the staff to manage it for you a newer approach is network as a service or naas it s a logical extension of software as a service you stopped buying boxes with cd roms to update your systems years ago most software is now offered on a subscription basis computing hardware has gone the same way with cloud based services why not take the same approach to networks how naas works when you employ naas you are essentially turning your network into a subscription just like saas you pay as you go and you pay for what you use you dump capital expenditures and trade them for operational expenses naas can be implemented on a wan or lan basis wan networks include whatever it takes to interconnect various business locations cloud providers and general internet service you can also outsource your lan so that naas provides all the in house routers switches and security appliances needed to run the network what about sd wan software defined wide area networking is a flavor of naas that can improve wan performance especially in accessing the internet sw wan combines multiple lines such as fiber optic fixed wireless access cable broadband and satellite to get the highest performance for your most critical functions it automatically monitors each line and selects which path each packet should take higher priority packets get faster and lower latency paths while lower priority tasks get what s left naas may incorporate sd wan to improve network performance the naas advantage there s a certain efficiency in not being short of resources when you desperately need them to conduct business or getting stuck with a back room full of hardware you ll have to keep until things pick up or unload at fire sale prices worse yet who wants to be laying off valuable tech employees during a downturn only to have to recruit and on board new ones when business increases naas can also introduce some new features such as constant ai monitoring and self healing networks your network becomes another type of cloud that just gets a job done without you having to fight fires or worry about how to add this or that capability when naas doesn t make sense as attractive as outsourcing your network woes sounds to many companies it s not for everyone companies that have large expert teams with deep knowledge of the network infrastructure and business operations may be able to provide an operational ability and efficiency beyond what an outside company can this is especially true in heavily regulated industries or those with unique requirements how about your business does your network run like a well oiled machine with a staff that has knowledge not easily replaced or are you struggling to deal with growth a changing environment difficulty in finding the right staff constant problems that are hurting productivity or facing an equipment refresh that is going to be a strain on the finances before you spend a fortune you might want to consider the alternative of network as a service get expert consulting and proposals that meet your particular needs now with compelling naas solutions posted by t1 rex at 2 40 pm labels cloud based it staffing managed services msp naas networks sd wan tech support monday june 15 2026 the sun is setting on copper telecom lines by john shepler it has been rumored for a long time and now it s really underway the end of over a century of copper wire based phone and network lines is here with a key event on june 30 that s the start of at t s first major wave of wire center decommissioning over 277 of these facilities will go dark when completed with more waves of decommissioning to follow in the end we ll have completely moved on from alexander graham bell s original network what the loss of wire centers really means in simple terms a wire center is where all the wires connect it s the building that connects the central office switching with all the local loops that s often thousands and thousands of individual twisted copper pairs that are bundled into larger cables your analog phone line the landline or pots plain old telephone service line is one of these loops you can trace the wire pair directly from the phone jack on your wall all the way to the line card at the central office that provides power and signaling to run the phone handset those twisted pairs can carry a lot more than individual phone calls they can be set up with digital termination equipment to provide dsl and t1 broadband or pri digital multi line phone service they may also be used in special applications such as fire alarms elevator phones gate entry systems security systems and fax machines decommissioning means taking these lines out of service no more wire center no more copper line service in actuality the phone companies that own these lines have already been discouraging their use through higher service prices and refusal to add more customers another group copper wire thieves have been doing their own decommissioning by cutting and stealing cables and then burning off the plastic insulation so they can sell the copper at recyclers copper prices are way up due to the expansion of data centers electric vehicles and solar power to name a few what replaces copper telecom lines like the incandescent light bulb it s time to move on from 19th century technologies the new options are primarily fiber optic and wireless fiber voice and broadband started with phone company optical carrier standards but has migrated to carrier ethernet standards to be compatible with the vast majority of company networks ethernet over fiber service ranges from 10 mbps up to 100 gbps with gigabit ethernet and 10 gige becoming popular standards you need what is called an ethernet port at your end that connects via fiber to your service provider often an independent network operator but perhaps a traditional telco the speed of the ethernet port limits the amount of bandwidth you can have a gigabit port lets you order up to 1 000 mbps a 10 gigabit port supports anything up to 10 000 mbps there are different flavors of fiber optic service your internet access can be on a fiber line that is shared among many businesses and residential users to save cost you may prefer to order dedicated internet access dia so that your connection to the internet itself in essentially on a private line direct cloud access is a similar service without the internet being involved at all you have a private fiber service from your facility to your cloud service provider this gives you the best low latency and low congestion for higher productivity and smoother voice calls and video conferences you might also want to consider dedicated point to point fiber to interconnect your facilities across town or around the world these private lines offer high performance and better security than what you could hope for on the internet wireless options of course you have mobile phones tablets and laptop computers that connect to the internet using 5g cellular broadband another flavor of that services is fixed wireless access it comes in a box with higher gain antennas and ethernet connection it s the 5g broadband without the phone features there are also options to add outside antennae for better coverage and some controllers offer multiple providers for service continuity if one company goes offline temporarily fwa can be as speedy as fiber but without having to run the fiber line itself some wireless internet service providers do not use cellular networks instead they have their own towers and beam and point to point signal to a small dish antenna on your roof these are very private lines and can have gigabit or higher speeds satellite broadband and satellite phone have been around for years the broadband using geostationary satellites can be very reliable and speeds have been improving with newer generations of satellites the half second or more of latency due to the distance to geosynchronous orbit is one sticking point leo or low earth orbit satellite constellations primarily spacex starlink reduces the latency to something similar to terrestrial broadband bandwidths are also competitive for many applications just stating now is direct to handset service that turns satellites into alternative cell towers soon there will be no dead spots even in the most remote areas what to do about specialty services those fire alarms fax machines and elevator phones that were designed for twisted pair copper and nothing else still have hope at t among others is offering a pots replacement service that consists of 4g lte cellular wired to support these services along with built in battery backup why 4g lte this standard can mimic the old phone lines and is still readily available the one remaining copper service there is still one very popular copper broadband service but it is not from any phone company this is cable broadband that is brought in on coaxial copper wiring in reality the cable companies have converted to fiber optic transmission but the latest docsis standards let them keep their existing copper coax into your building and still achieve speeds of 1 000 mbps or even 10 gbps competitive with fiber is your company experiencing an upcoming loss of service due to copper decommissioning no time to wait find out what copper replacement services are available for your business needs you may be surprised to find you can actually get more capability at a lower cost posted by t1 rex at 12 36 pm labels 10 gige cable broadband copper telecom fiber optic fixed wireless access fwa gigabit ethernet isdn pri landline pots t1 lines wire center tuesday may 26 2026 can you use 10 gbps to 100 gbps circuits by john shepler the move to business software in the cloud increased the demand for high speed low latency bandwidth the introduction of ai ups the ante even more what used to be considered high bandwidth may now be an impediment to getting work done fortunately higher bandwidth circuits in the range of 10 gbps to 100 gbps are now readily available and at reasonable prices what higher bandwidth offers why increase your bandwidth to 10 gbps or above because you need it or if you don t absolutely need it the improvement in performance and productivity justify the additional cost the amount of bandwidth you need is driven by the traffic on your wan or point to point networks as long as there is enough and the quality is high enough the lines are essentially invisible as soon as there are more packets ready to transfer than there is capacity to transfer them trouble begins your circuit becomes congested it shows up as increased latency as packets must be buffered to wait their turn response from the internet and cloud slows down telephone calls have delays even to the point of sounding like you are on a two way radio some packets might get lost creating garbled audio same for video two way conferencing gets jerky or frozen and may have missing pieces anything in real time suffers frustration by users increases workflow slows what drives the need for higher bandwidth text messaging and email are now the least of the bandwidth drivers telephone audio might be if you have a large operation or a call center video for conferencing and watching online streaming is definitely a bandwidth driver don t forget that more and more business processes are now being conducted in the cloud or at colocation data centers the days of everything running on a server and some disk drives in the same building are gone for most everyone at least some of what you do is processed remotely that could be ordering inventory accounting simulation and so on replacing a sea of stand alone pcs with a lan was the first step now the lan connects to a wan and dedicated internet access the amount of traffic leaving the building is often more than what is handled strictly inside don t forget about big data and ai data sets are becoming huge as more and more business and customer data is electronic you don t need more file cabinets but you do need more disk space including remote backup for safety ai is something new that consumes data and bandwidth like never before as staffs are being encouraged to up their inference level and use as many tokens as they can to gain skill with ai models the load on the connection circuits increases training can be even more of a overwhelming load as data bases have to be uploaded to the model all of this is a demand on your network you probably didn t see coming but it s here and it is only going to increase what bandwidth is available most everyone needs internet access and the best type for most business is dia or dedicated internet access that is essentially a private line between your office and your service provider most of the congestion comes in the first mile when circuits are shared among many companies and residential users to save cost casual and undemanding users may not even notice the difference but highly demanding businesses can easily see variations in performance throughout the day that a...
