INTRODUCING THE KINETIC EDGE
EXTEND YOUR SERVICE TO THE KINETIC EDGE
Leverage the fastest growing platform of edge colocation data centers to bring your service to the edge.
The Kinetic Edge Has Arrived
Billions of connected devices generating petabytes of data will require nearby edge cloud resources to deliver local, low-latency applications. From telco NFV and C-RAN to IoT, self-driving vehicles, and augmented reality, the Kinetic Edge offers the most comprehensive path to the future.
Vapor IO’s Kinetic Edge delivers the next generation internet by placing data centers at the base of cell towers and in other nearby locations. Utilizing our colocation facilities and interconnection services makes it possible to bring cloud-like services to the edge of the wireless network. With locations planned for all major US metro areas, Vapor IO is your partner for production-scale edge computing.
Edge Colocation
Vapor IO’s Kinetic Edge offers highly-secure data center facilities for deploying IT equipment at the edge of the wireless network. Located at the base of cell towers and nearby aggregation hubs, Kinetic Edge colocation makes it possible to place IT equipment as close to your users as possible. Network together multiple sites in software to blanket an entire city with compute and storage. Leased in quarter rack increments, the Kinetic Edge can accommodate thousands of Kw of equipment in edge locations.
Edge Interconnection
Vapor IO’s carrier-neutral edge meet-me rooms and software-defined networking put your equipment one hop from the wireless networks. Local breakout provides IP assignment at the edge and carrier-neutral interconnect makes it possible to bypass legacy backhaul. Configure and dynamically readjust interconnections at the Kinetic Edge via the browser-based Vapor Edge Portal or via the Kinetic Edge API. Vapor IO’s Kinetic Edge makes it possible to cross connect or peer with virtually any carrier, private data center, cloud provider, long haul data transit provider, and the internet.
Edge Networking
The Kinetic Edge software-defined networking delivers each customer a virtual private network that can span an entire region, connecting both Vapor IO and third-party facilities on the same network. The Kinetic Edge networking makes it possible to treat all of your machines as if they were in the same building and on the same network, even if they span dozens of edge locations. Vapor IO maintains redundant high-capacity fiber routes between all of its Kinetic Edge data centers, as well as to third-party facilities and interconnection points. This makes it the fastest and most reliable way to deploy edge capabilities that span an entire city or region.
A NATIONWIDE NETWORK OF EDGE DATA CENTERS
Tap into the world’s largest network of interconnected edge data centers, starting in Chicago and rapidly expanding to other US cities. Join us as an anchor tenant and get early access to all of our locations.
Leveraging the Kinetic Edge
The Kinetic Edge—a nationwide platform for edge computing—provides the optimal way for cloud providers, web scale companies, and other enterprises to deliver edge applications at scale without building their own data centers or trenching their own fiber.
By bringing powerful compute, networking and data storage facilities to the edge of the wireless network, we substantially speed up interactions, remove large latencies and reduce network and compute load back to the centralized data centers. The resulting edge computing infrastructure is the foundation of the next-generation internet.
