How edge computing can help your business
If you’re thinking that New Zealand’s old copper-based telephone exchanges are a relic of the past, you may be surprised to find that the old buildings are a key pillar in Chorus’s strategy to bring the cloud right into New Zealand's business neighbourhood. Find our more on our blog article.
Experience the benefits of EdgeCentre
Chorus EdgeCentres are highly redundant and distributed regionally throughout New Zealand. It’s true co-location - your equipment in a Chorus rack, right next to the Chorus Fibre Network. Mercury are taking advantage of being closer to the Edge.
"We have some regional wholesale customers that feel more comfortable being able to host equipment closer to their core business location. This provides easy access to their equipment without travelling and the cost of backhaul services. Also, a higher level of trust having their critical servers nearby." - Karen Lindsay-Kerr, Wholesale Telco Business Development Manager, Mercury.
Chorus EdgeCentre has allowed internet service provider, Voyager to deliver content closer to their customers, reducing the roundtrip latency request time and minimising transport costs.
“Fibre with content, close to customers, as enabled by Chorus EdgeCentre, is going to give customers the very best experience.” – Seeby Woodhouse, Founder and Managing Director, Voyager.
