Hi Community, I just wanted to make sure no one missed this upcoming tech talk! Check out our events page for full details and registration link Meet the challenges of 5G by taking key steps with the right location and interconnection In this short Tech Talk, we'll review how your organization can reap the benefits of 5G as it evolves—through incremental, proven steps. Through our experts, you'll learn how to solve the common challenges associated with 5G and the ways that Equinix has invested in key physical and interconnection assets for its value chain stakeholders to build on, as well as: What 5G means now and its impact on application traffic flows and devices How network service providers are preparing for 5G vs. enterprises The benefits of deploying a network performance hub at Equinix Interconnecting core and hybrid multi-cloud networks to foster innovation Speakers: William Lloyd, Corporate Development Director, 5G/Evolving Edge, Equinix Rodney Elder, Global Principal of Solution Architecture, EquinixBlog | Precise Time Synchronization in Distributed Cloud Environments
Here are some of my take ways from the latest blog. Transactions that used to take a few seconds now happen in the millisecond and microsecond range—and before too long, applications and systems will need to operate in the realm of nanoseconds. Precise time synchronization for IT systems keeps getting more important. Distribution of servers, storage systems, networking, and private and public clouds creates significant challenges around synchronizing system clocks. Equinix Precision Time provides timing services over Equinix Fabric, so if you already own a port on the Equinix Fabric network, you can connect easily to Equinix Precision Time services. The world of time synchronization is evolving quickly as applications get faster and faster. Technological advancements around smart grids, 5G and 6G networks and IoT devices like autonomous vehicles underscore the importance of more precise, secure time synchronization.
