Edge data centers can’t rely on regular visitors. They may have to become robotic

Keeping 5G infrastructure running 24x7 will require new approaches to remote management and maintenance

5G is power hungry - but telecoms operators may have some answers to keep it supplied with energy

5G infrastructure is being built from the ground up to support larger numbers of smaller data centers at the network edge

Which countries have got 5G, what standards are in use, and how important are they for telcos?

Shifting virtual workloads into the Edge gives both fixed and mobile network operators multiple advantages

There are ambitious plans to keep Ethernet at the forefront of data center networks

Copper and fiber cables are evolving to meet the needs of data centers, but both will have a place in the future of networks

Data center companies hope that private/hybrid interconnects will guarantee them a place in the cloud services ecosystem, says Martin Courtney

The demise of colocation, cannibalized by growing demand for cloud services, has been much exaggerated

The volume and diversity of information set to be generated by the Internet of Things will put considerable strain on data centers. Martin Courtney investigates

SDN and NFV are delivering a more agile and future-proof network for service providers and enterprise

Standard UDP and structured DAC cabling will keep copper wiring relevant in server racks for the foreseeable future

Deployment has been gradual so far, but software defined networking (SDN) is set to take off

After years of tall tales, it looks like data center infrastructure management (DCIM) is finally becoming a real thing
