The new AWS EU (Stockholm) Region will have three Availability Zones and will be ready for customers to use in 2018. This enables customers to serve content to their end users with low latency, giving them the best application experience. Over the past decade, we have seen tremendous growth at AWS.

SCM slots between DRAM and flash in terms of latency, cost, and density. Thus, despite both quoting 11 nines of durability against hardware failures, S3 is durable against failures that B2 is not, and is thus better. Because of that big servers and other memory systems need to have another kind of memory in the hierarchy.

They can run applications in Sweden, serve end users across the Nordics with lower latency, and leverage advanced technologies such as containers, serverless computing, and more. If the solution works as envisioned, Telenor Connexion can easily deploy it to production and scale as needed without an investment in hardware.

HTML, CSS, images, and fonts can all be parsed and run at near wire speeds on low-end hardware, but JavaScript is at least three times more expensive, byte-for-byte. If you or your company are able to generate a credible worldwide latency estimate in the higher percentiles for next year's update, please get in touch.

India became a 4G-centric market sometime in 2018. Hardware Past As Performance Prologue. Regardless, the overall story for hardware progress remains grim, particularly when we recall how long device replacement cycles are: Tap for a larger version. 5G looks set to continue a bumpy rollout for the next half-decade.

It simulates a link with a 400ms RTT and 400-600Kbps of throughput (plus latency variability and simulated packet loss). Simulated packet loss and variable latency, however, can make benchmarking extremely difficult and slow. Our baseline, then, should probably trade lower throughput/higher-latency for packet loss.

Globally in 2018–2019, according to the IDC, 87% of all shipped mobile phones are Android devices. Estimated Input Latency tells us if we are hitting that threshold, and ideally, it should be below 50ms. So additionally conducting research on common devices in your target group might be a good idea.

Estimated Input Latency tells us if we are hitting that threshold, and ideally, it should be below 50ms. On the other hand, we have hardware constraints on memory and CPU due to JavaScript parsing times (we’ll talk about them in detail later). In 2018, the Alliance of Open Media has released a new promising video format called AV1.
