Turning up a new Cisco Nexus 9010 ASR router

 

Kanobe, Inc. is very proud to welcome a new fiber optic carrier Internet service provider to our premium blend here at our Bothell Data Center.

Our data center technical team has worked with Wolfe Internet to install a brand new Cisco Nexus 9010 ASR into our meet me room.

Over the last few weeks Kanobe has worked with Black Rock cable coordinating dark fiber installs that run north bound out of our facility to 2 new locations. Also with CenturyLink Business on new fiber installs of ring running southbound.

This new equipment and additional fiber routes has greatly increased the levels of redundancy that Kanobe can guarantee in uptime to our colocated clientele.

The addition of Wolfe Internet gives us far greater capacity to provide private line fiber connectivity to the surrounding metro areas.

As well as better prices on high bandwidth co-location needs.

We are now peering BGP with ASN 4258 on top of our other peering arrangements.

What Kanobe’s Ethernet over Copper Is All About

Thursday, June 21st, 2012

Ethernet Over Copper from Kanobe

Ethernet over Copper (EoC) is perhaps the most exciting new business bandwidth service available from Kanobe. Any company currently using T1 lines, DS3 bandwidth or other connection services needs to compare what they have with Ethernet over Copper options. Why? Because the cost and bandwidth benefits are far too great to ignore.
Let’s take a look at what’s behind EoC and how it compares with competing telecom services. First, let’s define Ethernet over Copper. You’re certainly familiar with Ethernet, the near universal standard protocol of local area networks. This is also Ethernet, but extended for metropolitan and wide area network transmission.

What’s special about Ethernet as a connection service? Other services, like the venerable T1 line, are products of telephone technology. They use transmission standards and technologies that aren’t directly compatible with computer networks. They can be interfaced, of course, with the appropriate protocol and signal conversions. This is why you can’t just plug a T1 line into any LAN switch or router. You need an interface card to make the two networks, LAN and telecom, compatible.

Ethernet over Copper is already in the right protocol. Your connection to the outside world is a common RJ-45 jack. It’s like extending your network over miles or even hundreds to thousands of miles. In practice, the service provider will often install a managed router as Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) to connect their network to yours. This way, they can monitor the MAN or WAN network automatically to ensure that everything is working the way it should and take corrective action if problems arise.

Kanobe expanded Fiber from Spectrum Networks

Kanobe expanded Fiber from Spectrum Networks

SEATTLE–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Spectrum Networks, one of the largest, independent Internet providers in the Northwest, has expanded its network presence in the Puget Sound area with a new point of presence (POP) in Kanobe / BDS data center located in Bothell, Washington.

 

This new data center addition complements Spectrum Network’s existing deployments in many of the region’s premier data centers including the Westin Building, Pittock Block Building (Portland), Adhost Data Center at Fisher Plaza, 1000 Denny and Sabey’s Intergate Tukwila campus.

With the addition of this new connection, Spectrum Networks is now interconnected to Black Rock Cable’s extensive fiber optic network in the North Puget Sound region, thus providing first-rate access to Ethernet transport services between data centers for thousands of North Sound businesses via Spectrum Network’s reliable, ultra high-speed and enterprise-quality IP network infrastructure.

“By adding Spectrum Networks to our carrier partners, we also add great route diversity and increased IP transport and transit capacity for our co-location and data center customers.

Kanobe and BDS help EastlakeCC go hologram multi-site!

Friday, October 7th, 2011

 

Eastlake Hologram Preview

Preview shot from tech booth of Hologram Multi-site for ECC

Kanobe, Inc and Bothell Data Services have been working over the past few months with Eastlake Community Church to expand.

Eastlake has taken on a grand endeavor to expand their overcrowded services to 3 new locations throughout Washington.

They settled on a technology solution that records the Pastor at the Kane Hall location and beams a holographic image in real time to the Bothell Campus.

Putting this technology all together has been a massive task and the Kanobe/BDS team has been happy to help out.

Eastlake has had a discernible advantage having their primary Bothell location in the same building as a massive data center.

This gave availability to existing bandwidth connectivity on campus that is essential in ensuring high definition real time streaming works well.

Co-locating the enterprise server in a  truly redundant, highly secure and highly available environment was essential. Having that available on campus made this entire roll out so much easier.

The Kane Hall location came with 100Mbps fiber connectivity over the Pacific NW Gigapop network that peers directly with Kanobe at The Seattle Internet Exchange ensures low latency back to campus is smooth.

The Skyline HS Sammamish location took a bit of work. Kanobe was able to leverage their extensive connections in the Telecommunications sector to locate and install 100Mbps fiber connectivity to the campus.

We wish to thank all those involved, for helping to put this truly amazing technology together.

Avail Company put together the Audio Visual compenents, Streambox provides streaming technology, Eastlake Tech Booth team has been awesome to work with.

 

 

 

 

 

iPhone 5 Rumor Roundup: Hardware, Release Date, Carriers

Friday, October 7th, 2011

Whenever a new iPhone gets rumored, it immediately shoots up to the top of wish lists around the world. And Apple’s upcoming iPhone 5, or iPhone 4S, is no different. This is a highly anticipated device, but unlike most other phones, consumers only have bits and pieces of rumored information about it. In comparison, another popular phone,  the Android-powered Motorola Droid Bionic, has leaked out in every way imaginable.

The same can’t be said for Apple’s unicorn. There are a ton of rumors but it still manages to stay in the shadows. That being said, we want to condense all of the confusing, contradictory, wrong, possible, and good, rumors out there about the iPhone 5  in an attempt to feed you as much information as we can about Apple’s next iPhone before you are challenged to make a decision on whether or not you want to buy it.

Ultimately, that decision is going to take an official announcement, but there’s no harm in preparing yourself for it.

The Seahawks full of new, mostly young faces on offense

Friday, October 7th, 2011

NFL teams don’t change overnight. Sometimes it takes a whole week.

The Seahawks showed that in the seven days after the longest work stoppage in NFL history ended, making changes that were as significant as they were sudden. They signed Tarvaris Jackson and left guard Robert Gallery, added Pro Bowlers Sidney Rice and Zach Miller and then waved goodbye as quarterback Matt Hasselbeck signed in Tennessee and defensive captain Lofa Tatupu was released.

And when it was over, coach Pete Carroll and general manager John Schneider took a look at the team they inherited two years ago and marveled at the change.

“We thought it would take three years to really get a young football team in here,” Carroll said.

It took less than two.
