On Wednesday, January 27 at 11:45 AM, Mr. MacNeil will join executives from Global Capacity, NJFX and Schneider Electric on a panel titled, “Data Center Investment: The Next Step in Portfolio Expansion?” The panel will explore the growing interdependence of fiber providers and data centers, the ramifications of data centers increasing their purchase of fiber networks, and how fiber providers currently utilize their acquired data center assets. Additionally, MacNeil and his industry colleagues will examine how localized infrastructure is ensuring the quality of content delivery to the end-user, the effect the increase in cloud migration has on the demand for connectivity between data centers, and the question of whether fiber providers should invest in dark fiber and position themselves as transport-focused, or become more enterprise-oriented and provide services, including cloud and security.
