Webcast: Network Strain on Critical Infrastructure: impact on the rise in network traffic from remote working (30 April)
April 24, 2020
With telecom traffic dynamics spectacularly changed and data centres pinned to their collar with increased demand due to remote working, how is this delicate ecosystem coping and where are the pinch points?
Up to now, the internet has mainly augmented our lives, now it is our professional and personal lifeline of communication. Nobody doubted our dependency on connectivity, but the degree to which the internet is holding society together during this crisis is profound.
Join Techerati as they host experts from London Internet Exchange (LINX), techUK, 4D Data Centres and IT Infrastructure vendor Vertiv to explore how the ecosystem is coping with the rise in network traffic brought about by remote working, social distancing and lockdown measures.
What you will learn about?
- How exactly network traffic dynamics and volume have changed globally
- How data centres are withstanding this increased demand despite access restrictions
- How internet exchange points (IXP) are withstanding this increased demand despite access restrictions
- The role of edge sites in easing the network strain
- Learnings to help us plan for future resiliency

Is Your Data Center Ready for Business Continuity Planning?
In any organization, having a business continuity plan (BCP) is a strategic part of operations. BCP is the process of creating a system of prevention and recovery against potential threats to a company. These threats can come in the form of disasters (natural or man-made), terror attacks, or any other types of disruption that can adversely affect the overall business.
The Impact of the Home Office as the New Edge Site
In 1998, I was in a funky Temple Bar building in Dublin with my shiny new Nokia 5110 mobile phone. I was at a presentation about how the Internet will change societal behavior. The presenter told us what he was going to show us was illegal. We looked at each other excited to be in on some subterfuge. He then proceeded to make a phone call over IP through the bandwidth of two Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) lines, which at the time, was illegal in Ireland.
Keeping Service Techs Safe While Keeping Data Centers Running
Much of the world has transitioned to a new work-from-home reality in response to the pandemic, creating unanticipated strain on networks that weren’t necessarily designed to support a fully remote workforce. The mechanics of social distancing are testing data centers and edge facilities in new ways, and most IT professionals are still sorting through the repercussions of our new normal.
