by CNBC.A key component of that growth is the use of peering. What advantages and opportunities do data centers receive
from peering?

What are the Advantages of Peering?• Latency is greatly reduced because it eliminates data hops and creates a more direct flow, so connections are faster.•By using an exchange like MICE and combining paths, ISPs improve routing options, which creates greater efficiency and provides increased fault tolerance.•Because large amounts of traffic can be exchanged directly between providers, there can be significant cost savings for high-bandwidth sites and networks.Sponsored by

That’s why Charter, the fourth-largest cable operator in the U.S., chose Cologix to support
its expanded peering efforts. This allows Charter to offer Minnesota and Wisconsin
customers peering options other than Chicago, reducing traffic congestion, while lowering costs
and improving efficiency.

Businesses are looking for more direct local connections in order to deliver faster access - driven in large part by the increase in cloud
computing, mobile devices, and the exploding market of streaming video. Data centers that
utilize peering will be in the driver’s seat.
