    ⚠️⚠️⚠️ #Internet #DataCenters #IXP ⚠️⚠️⚠️
    Hey everyone Adam Simmons here from Dgtl Infra, short for Digital Infrastructure. The internet is a collection of numerous independent networks, interconnected to form what is known as a “network of networks”.
    Users on different networks communicate with each other through interconnection between these different networks. Indeed, a data center provides a physical location where the interconnection of these networks can occur.
    This physical location is known as an Internet Exchange Point (IXP) and the data centers where these Internet Exchange Points (IXPs) are located are often called Interconnection Hubs.

      But keep in mind that equinix is not necessarily operating the IXPs, they provide basically the building and then others put their hardware in. For example the mentioned IXP in Frankfurt (which is the biggest one in the world traffic wise) is spread across multiple locations in Frankfurt and operated by a company called Decix („German Commercial Internet Exchange“).

    So it sounds like these are buildings are required for connecting the entire world from an internet standpoint.
    Question 1, if there are 400 hundred providers at a single location I would assume all 400 have to get their connections routed to this 1 building, that seems like a massive project. How is that possible and structured?
    Question 2, shouldn't these buildings be secured like fort Knox as they pose an entry point into massive networks of multiple networks, example access to AT&T and Comcast Networks etc...

      Hi Darrion. Both are really important questions.
      Answer 1: fiber connectivity, and specifically, what is known as "dark fiber" inter-links all of these data centers. Dark fiber enables private and secure connections between data centers AND into the largest cloud service providers (Amazon Web Services / AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud). It is either buried underground or put into over-head ducting. Check-out our video here for an in-depth look into the dark fiber topic: th-cam.com/video/r3jM2xQR50U/w-d-xo.html
      Answer 2: Yes, security is absolutely paramount to ensuring safety of the data centers. This includes physical security (like the fort Knox you mentioned) and also cybersecurity. Check-out this video from Switch (a top data center provider) which shows some of their physical security systems (walls and roofing). vimeo.com/201759627
      Hope that helps!

    Do IXPs located in different countries connect directly with each other (I'm assuming through those submarine cables that appear in many documentaries about the internet) or are there other mediators between them? And are IXPs located in the same region/country also connected with each other or just ISPs and content providers connect to these points?

    • @James_Knott
      @James_Knott 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Depends. For countries in close proximity, the companies may connect directly. In other cases, there are international carriers who in turn connect to local companies in the various countries.

    Quick question. So through one of these internet exchanges points, are you only able to connect to the other providers services that are located in the same point, or does it allow for access to the whole internet, but lower latency for the service providers that are there?
    Thanks for the great video!

    • @James_Knott
      @James_Knott 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Some of the providers connect to other parts of the world. There are also some companies that only provide international connections. Regardless, you can connect to the entire Internet, though sometimes passing through other companies.

    Ok then what is a Point of Presence (PoP) ? If you have a video of that please point me to one.

    • @DgtlInfra
      @DgtlInfra  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      A point of presence (PoP) is a small-sized area, usually less than 20 server cabinets, within a multi-tenant data center where a customer leases space. At this PoP, the customer also has its routers, network switches, and other equipment. By having this PoP inside a data center, the customer can then directly connect to other tenants in that data center through fiber optic cable. This makes it much faster and easier to transmit data.
