New Data Center Developments

 County's supervisors in northern Virgina giving approval's to one of the world largest data center projects, by the way. The Associated Press say, the Digital Gateway Project might, you know, spur the development of 37 data centers across an area as big as 2,000 acres in lovely Prince William County.


DC Blocks have acquired a whopping 72 acres of land in Conyers, Georgia,, for a new hyperscale-ready data center campus. This campus, built to accommodate 750,000 square pies and a 216 MW total power committed by Georgia Power, quite a feat I must say!


Moving elsewhere, Amazon, is surely moving forward to develop a data center in Round Rock, Texas,, while Meta has bestowed the honor on DPR Construction to show their magic on their $1 billion data center in Mesa, Arizona. Samsung Electronics Company has made a boo-boo, I tell ya, of delaying mass-production plans at its new plant in Taylor Texas.


Furthermore, in Latin American data center news of this month, Scala Data Centers has announced a new facility at Porto Alegre, Brazil. Expect Oracle to make its presence felt in Colombia and Chile, with the launch of new cloud regions.


Meanwhile, talks abound about Blackstone expanding its investment on data centers, taking aim at Bengal tigers of AI. In Scandinavia, atNorth announces its expansion plans that involve a brand new site in the city of Kouvola, right in Finland, as you know. It would have immediate power supply of 60 MW in the first phase, and be operational in 2025.


This addition adds up to the exciting Asia-Pacific data center constructions. Vantage Data Centers is making a grand entry into the thriving Taiwanese market with its 16 MW data center in Taipei, set to open its doors in 2024. Not to be left behind, NTT Global Data Centers Japan and TEPCO Power Grid have entered a joint venture to cater to the Greater Tokyo area. I wish I could book a Tokyo tour right now!


In the Middle East and Africa, Airtel Africa has begun data center operations in the continent. While on the other end, Orange Botswana claims to have launched the country's first-ever Tier 3 data center.


The Ministry of Investment of UAE has signed a memorandum with Egypt’s Ministry of Communications and Information Technology to foster collaboration and investment in the digital infrastructure sector, and you know, specifically focusing on Egypt’s data center projects. I wonder, however, where do sandstorms fit into this equation of technological advancements!


As per the agreement, it seems these planned data centers have the potential to reach a combined operational capacity of astounding 1,000 MW. What an electrifying future it heralds! Anyway, it isn’t like I am going to get any electricity from there, I have to pay my bills!

Demystifying Network Slicing

Image
Network slicing represents a paradigm shift in how we think about networks and their management. At its core, network slicing involves the creation of multiple virtual networks on the same physical network infrastructure. These virtual networks can be tailored to meet the diverse requirements of different types of services, applications, or users. In this blog post, we will delve into the intricacies of network slicing, unpacking its components, benefits, and operational dynamics. ## Understanding Network Slicing Network slicing is a transformative technology that enables the division of a single physical network into multiple virtual networks, each designed to serve a specific purpose or service type with distinct performance characteristics. This segmentation allows for more efficient resource use and enables a tailored approach to network management. ### The Composition of a Network Slice A network slice is a complex entity composed of both physical and virtual network resources. It
