Hello everyone,

2022 is rapidly coming to a close.  As I sit here, the wind outside is howling with a -37 degree windchill. This is a perfect time to give you an update about our offerings and news.

Indianapolis: Upgrade to 733-401 MUX

We recently completed an upgrade on our mux between 733 West Henry and 401 Shadeland. This will give us 60 10 gig channels between the two facilities in addition to a 100 gig channel for IX needs.  If you need transport between the two facilities, we have plenty of capacity.

On a related note, we also have waves between 733 and 701.  You can always use your IX connection to go between facilities if you need to.

Content Node Updates

As many of you may know, we have Akamai, Cloudflare, Facebook, Google, Microsoft and some others we can’t mention due to NDAs.  We are busy spinning up cache nodes in St. Louis and Texas as part of a larger upgrade.  As more hardware is entering the supply chain, we can obtain new servers at reasonable costs.  This allows us to spin up new services.
