Worth Reading: Leaving fixed function switches behind

There are two competing trends in platform designs that architects always have to contend with. They can build a platform that performs a specific function and does it well, or create a more generic platform that sacrifices some efficiency but does a lot of jobs well. Sometimes you try to shoot the gap between these two poles. -The Next Platform

128 Technology aims to fix the internet

After two years of being in stealth mode, 128 Technology came out of hiding this week and is making a bold claim—that they can fix the way the internet works.128 Technology is led by Andy Ory, former CEO of Acme Packet, another Massachusetts-based company that was headquartered only a few miles from where 128 Technology is located. Also, many of the current employees of 128 Technology are former Acme Packet employees.Other than physical location, there are a couple of other similarities between 128 Technology and Acme Packet. First, the names of the companies are equally non-descriptive of what they do. Second, and more important, Acme was one a pioneer in the session border control (SBC) market, which redefined how multimedia traffic moved across networks. 128 Technology is trying to do something similar with all network traffic.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here

Hello, Colorado! CloudFlare’s 82nd Data Center is Live in Denver

alt

Hello from the Mile High City! Denver is our twelfth data center in the United States, and our 82nd data center globally, improving regional web performance.

Denver Tech Scene

Near the iconic Rocky Mountains, Denver brews more beer than any other American city, and is home to a thriving technology and entrepreneurship community. The Colorado community brought us companies such as Chipotle, HomeAdvisor, and LogRhythm - and is helping build the next great Colorado company.

Mile High, Twice as Fast

Despite having a unique place on the map of the United States, and it's significant distance from other cities (900 miles to Dallas; 1,000 miles to Chicago, 1,000 miles to Los Angeles), Denver has not always been a major point of regional interconnection. Through the efforts of the community, and greater localized peering of traffic, this is changing for the better.

Visitors to millions of websites using ISPs, big or small, such as Aerux, Blackfoot, Comcast and CenturyLink, should see a 2x increase in performance, as they are now served from our Denver data center.

CloudFlare participates at two major internet exchanges: Any2 Denver and IX-Denver.
