Industry conferences are like orchestras: they bring together many sounds which may be hard for the untrained ear to differentiate. We at TeleGeography are well-equipped to listen to the many melodies sung at telecom industry gatherings. Most recently, I joined colleagues in São Paulo to discuss regional trends at the Capacity LATAM event.

Today on TeleGeography Explains the Internet, we welcome Michael Martin, formerly a global network and security architect at McKinsey.  Michael has extensive experience and knowledge in the enterprise network space. I wanted to get his take on the industry's state of implementation of network automation among enterprises.

Content delivery networks (CDNs) are a geographically distributed network of servers (caches) that work together to deliver content by moving it closer to the end-users.

Back in early 2019, after months of speculation linking Telefonica to a sale of its Central American operations, the Spanish telecom giant agreed to offload all five of its units in the region. By the end of 2019, the Madrid-based group had unveiled a five-point turnaround strategy to overhaul its business.

In early 2022, AWS announced a new element to its cloud network infrastructure: the local zone. With increased focus on moving cloud services closer to end-users, the local zone provides low-latency access to applications running closer to customers. Google offers a similar service with its dedicated interconnect service, an option to connect to a low-latency colocation facility that provides latencies of less than 5 milliseconds between the workloads in a specified region and the on-ramp location. OVH launched the same local zone service in the first quarter of 2024, and Microsoft joined in as well with their extended zone service launched in the summer of 2024. Here's how these services differ—and how many have launched.
