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

What Does Peering Mean for Minneapolis Data Centers?Cologix is a data center that focuses exclusively on colocation and interconnectivity. It offers over 75 networks and direct access to MICE, allowing businesses to connect closer to their customers.



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.



The Bottom LineThese are just two of the data centers in

Minneapolis that have seen the opportunities peering brings and have used it effectively to

bring greater cost savings and user satisfaction to its customers.



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.
