According to a 2018 State of the States Report, 2.3 million students that year lacked access to broadband services that met the commission’s connectivity goal of 100 Mbps per 1,000 students and staff. Internet service that is prone to outages could come to a complete halt if the network suddenly stops working due to outdated transport technology, costing precious time and money. It’s quite easy to hit an Internet’s bandwidth “cap”, and if companies want to avoid this they should switch to fiber solutions. Security is a real concern for businesses and Fiber networks can certainly provide a strong boost by utilizing a Dedicated Internet Access connection instead of a shared connection.

This 38% increase was spread across every device category, and with good reason; Businesses are becoming increasingly reliant on data usage, as well as having strong and reliable Internet access. The problem with storing unusable data is that it does not strengthen a company’s Internet access in any way and it actually costs businesses money. A large reason why some data is unusable is that businesses simply lack the tools to properly analyze the data. According to IDG, by 2024, the AI market is expected to break the $500 billion mark with a five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17.5% and total revenues reaching an impressive $554.3 billion.

Each device that requires a connection uses these services to access the internet and when that connection is down, or slow, or unreliable in any way – work suffers, frustrations emerge as content is buffered, and day-to-day browsing becomes unreliable and spotty. This shared information needed to be stored somewhere, and in the early 1990s microcomputers began filling old mainframe computer rooms which became known as “data centers.” By diversifying where information is stored across the country and the world, content providers, cloud service providers and businesses of all stripes house information closer to the people using it on a daily basis – limiting the load on a network and improving efficiency. On International Data Center Day, an annual holiday formed by the 7×24 Exchange, providers across the industry pay homage to the importance of data centers for day-to-day digital communication.
