In this exclusive interview at Structure Research’s infra/Structure Summit in Toronto, John Bonczek, Chief Revenue Officer at 1547 DATACENTERS, discusses the current trends in the growth of traffic in carrier hotels and the challenges faced by operators in bringing compute closer to the end user. Bonczek explains that carrier hotels in both core and edge markets are experiencing unprecedented growth in traffic, leading to capacity constraints. He highlights the need for operators to expand, decentralize, and enable not just network capacity, but also connections to the public cloud and computing at the edge. When asked about how operators are dealing with this challenge, Bonczek mentions that CDN (Content Delivery Network) providers and network facilities are exploring ways to bring compute closer to the end user. He discusses the importance of optimizing network capacity and connectivity at the edge to ensure efficient and seamless user experiences. Regarding the technologies or solutions being utilized to optimize network capacity and connectivity at the edge, Bonczek suggests that AI (Artificial Intelligence) plays a significant role. By utilizing AI-driven algorithms, operators can intelligently manage network resources, predict traffic patterns, and optimize performance. In terms of regulatory and policy considerations, Bonczek emphasizes that operators need to be mindful of the legal and compliance requirements when expanding and enabling computing at the edge. This includes considerations such as data privacy, security, and adherence to local regulations. Bonczek also highlights the impressive portfolio and expansion plans of 1547 DATACENTERS. With close to 2.5 million square feet and more than 200MW at full build, their data centers span across various locations including New York, Milwaukee, Mcallen, Chicago, Hawaii, Portland, Cheyenne, and Pennsylvania. He emphasizes the company's commitment to providing robust infrastructure to support the growing demands of the digital landscape. +++ Follow us on: Subscribe: https://thetechcapital.com/register/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/thetechcapital_ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-tech-capital Instagram: https://instagram.com/thetechcapital_ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/The-Tech-Capital-101679965480510 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPZ8yuPvtECZCwV2g9OkX1w #digitalinfrastructure #datacenter #thetechcapital #cloudadoption #cloudcomputing #datacentre #infrastructure #youleadwereport
