Server Pricing Volatility in the AI Era: What’s Driving It and How to Stay in Control
Buying servers used to be predictable. You picked a configuration, got a quote, and scheduled deployment around a delivery window you could trust. In 2024-2025, that certainty has changed. Not because “servers” suddenly got complicated, but because key components are being pulled into a global AI build-out. AI demand pushed the server/storage components market to […]

Why Video Needs a Different Kind of CDN
Video is the largest downstream traffic category. Video applications accounted for approximately 76% of all mobile traffic by the end of 2025, and they are projected to comprise 82% of all internet traffic by 2026. It’s also the category most sensitive to infrastructure speed. If a page loads a little late, users get frustrated. If […]

Dedicated Servers vs. Bare Metal: What’s the Difference?
In infrastructure, two terms appear everywhere yet remain widely misunderstood: Dedicated Server and Bare Metal Server. To some, they mean the same thing. To others, even long-standing Fortune 500 companies like IBM, they mean something different. Providers put out definitions of their own, and they’re not always aligned with how the technology actually works. The […]

Problems with Standard Colocation – Why Space and Power Aren’t Enough Anymore
Data center colocation used to be a simple deal. The operator leased you rack space or even an entire rack, guaranteed and provided power and cooling; you brought your servers, connected them, and used the services under a predictable and simple SLA. Back when workloads were static, architecture was monolithic, and “availability” was the only […]

What is Storage? A Deep Dive on Designing for Speed, Durability, and Data Behavior
Your storage setup decides how your system behaves when people actually use it. It decides whether a service keeps up under load, how much you end up paying for capacity, and how much trouble you’re in when something breaks. Though some might think of storage as just a box you stick data into – one […]

Digital Rights Management for Video Streaming Platforms
Digital Rights Management is often treated as a security checkbox: enable DRM, protect content, move on. In real-world video streaming, that assumption breaks quickly. DRM sits directly on the playback path, affects startup time, scales with concurrency, and fails in ways that look like video delivery problems, not security issues.

Why You Should Build Your Infrastructure in an Amsterdam Data Center
In Europe’s digital map, there’s a single point where everything converges. It’s the place where fiber from London, Frankfurt, and the Nordics meets transatlantic cables from the U.S. and Asia. It’s where the regulatory framework is more liberal – and more advanced – than anywhere else in the world. That place is Amsterdam. For companies […]

When the Cloud Sneezes, the Internet Catches a Cold: Lessons Learned from the AWS Outage
When the AWS outage hit on Monday, a huge chunk of the web went belly up. Major platforms slowed or went dark – social feeds, online stores, even connected home devices. A single cloud region in Northern Virginia stumbled, and the tremor spread from San Francisco to Singapore. It wasn’t the first outage of its […]

How to Provision a Server Properly | Step-by-Step Infrastructure Guide
Provisioning a server is often treated as a quick, automated step: click order, wait for Active, and move on. In reality, most infrastructure problems begin right there, when provisioning is mistaken for readiness.
