Scalable Networks: the key to connecting millions of users all at onc

This computing systems capability is critical at times when operational loads increase exponentially, such as during the Qatar 2022 tournament, where millions of users connected simultaneously to watch a game.

There are more smart devices connected to the Internet every day. In fact, according to the Plume IQ Smart Home Market Report, the number of connected devices per home currently averages 17.1 10% more than the 15.5 reported in the first half of 2021. Europe registers the largest increase, going from 15.4 to 17.4 13% more.

Faced with this continuous increase in new users, the only way for networks to continue operating with the same speed and data transfer standards is to be scalable, which means that they can react and adapt without losing the quality of their processes.

There are circumstances where the existing internet architecture cannot keep up with user demand, comments Alejandro Girardotti, Senior Director of Products, Innovation and Strategic Alliances at Cirion Technologies. At such times, relying on distributed systems and hybrid architectures, that is, the interaction of private and public clouds, as well as traditional and Edge data centers, makes it easier to scale resources up and down to accommodate heavier or lighter loads as needed.

In Latin America, Cirion Technologies counts on 50,000 kilometers of terrestrial long-haul and metropolitan fiber optics, as well as 36,000 km of submarine cables and 18 landing stations, setting a structure that allows it to operate with scalable networks capable of adapting to the increase in connected users without having them experience a slower navigation.

Our infrastructure adapts dynamically and in real time to market demands, enabling an efficient management of critical applications and their data, which makes it possible for companies to identify market trends in advance and respond quickly, with solutions that stimulate future growth, says the Cirion executive.

According to Statista, there will be 996 million connected devices in Latin America next year, and 1.2 billion connections are expected by 2025 approximately 64% will be for consumers, including devices for smart homes, wearables, and autonomous vehicles, among others.

Given this scenario, Girardotti states that this exponential growth of mobile users, IoT devices, Cloud applications, among others, represents new demands on networks, which will have to continue optimizing and upgrading in order to scale and deliver the necessary performance required by users.
