Got nowhere to go from here but up!
Anything Microsoft related, I am in. If Microsoft sees value to collaborate with, then there has definitely got to be value. Especially at this price! And not only Microsoft, but Google also.
Service providers, content providers and enterprises can now quickly and dynamically route network traffic between data centers
DENVER, June 12, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Lumen Technologies (NYSE: LUMN) today announced a new network interconnection ecosystem called ExaSwitch™, created in collaboration with Google and Microsoft. This platform empowers organizations with high bandwidth needs to route their traffic dynamically and quickly between networks, and without third-party intervention.
"The days of slow, legacy cross connects are over; ExaSwitch is the future of network interconnections."
"The days of slow, legacy cross connects are over; ExaSwitch is the future of network interconnections," said Andrew Dugan, Chief Technology Officer, Lumen. "Large network backbones no longer need a physical location to connect. Instead, optical switching will be used to establish high-capacity optical links between metro sites. And it's so much more than just internet peering; it's an on-demand network connection for quickly deploying needed capacity across all types of data traffic exchanges."
Current participants
This ExaSwitch project was created by the initial participants to route traffic between large internet and cloud networks. Early adopters include Lumen, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure and an additional large cloud provider. The ExaSwitch ecosystem will continue to strengthen as additional participants join, making it easier to automate, scale and manage capacity between the members.
"We like the ease, speed and cost efficiency of performing interconnects to network partners directly from our main sites," said Steve Walter, Global VP of Network Operations, Google. "ExaSwitch provides an agile, on-demand platform using proven technology that achieves that."
"Creating a geographically distributed yet automated interconnection platform creates so many options to improve connectivity, resiliency, and speed to add capacity on to one's network," said Frank Rey, Partner, Azure Networking, Microsoft. "We are pleased at the opportunity ExaSwitch has to change the interconnection ecosystem."
How it works
The ExaSwitch administrator will install optical hardware at the preferred location for each participant, who will choose their own fiber source for connecting into ExaSwitch. When two participants agree to connect, they can join quickly through self-provisioning, or an API portal driven and managed by the administrator. The real-time capacity deployment allows them to easily order, modify and delete services as needed. Lumen is acting as the administrator for the initial deployments.
Key benefits
Participants use a self-service portal to configure and turn up connectivity with other participants much faster than they can now.
Connections are set up in 400G increments and can be consumed on demand in 100G increments, with each site capable of up to 25.6 Tbps of optical cross connects.
Participants will have the ability to connect their edge sites, data centers and central offices in major markets to gain diversity and save costs on cross connects.
"The ExaSwitch optical switching platform is an innovative on-demand ecosystem for automating, scaling and managing high-value interconnect services," said Courtney Monroe, VP of Telecommunications Research for IDC. "It is poised to disrupt legacy manual platforms, as well as the way enterprises, and the IT ecosystem interconnect, procure and manage interconnectivity."
Lumen is currently operating the ExaSwitch platform in three of the largest US interconnection hubs – Chicago, Dallas and Virginia – with plans to expand to all major markets in North America with large internet hubs.

And both, Microsoft and Apple can pay that debt at any time if they chose. But why when you can use other peoples money at low interest and gain more interest on your cash pile. ( MSFT 104.42B in cash on hand) ( APPL actually has less at 55.87B now)
Their debt is meaningless
Actually, as of March 2023 on their books is 60.52B total debt.
Apple has a total debt of 109.61B
Are we there yet?? :) MSFT$$
There she is! 125
Been holding this for over a year! :) I will continue to hold
Better question who’s been smart enough to be buying!!? :D this is gonna blow the roof off!
Easily! AMD $$ grabbing a piece of that $2 trillion AI market!
MSFT Gearing up! Looking forward to breaking that good ole all time high!
34.72 now..and A.I is just getting started. I see a new ATH coming soon
34.4 actually. Look at Tesla 49. And Nvidia at 181. :-O
Easily
I see 513
34.4 actually. Look at Tesla 49. And Nvidia at 181. :-O
Hope ya covered
Eeeeeeeeee… I don’t know about that one..:/ good luck
$309…. Time to cover
Boom!
Will ChatGPT help Microsoft Teams kill Zoom (ZOOM)?
An example of such an autonomous system is large language models powered by GPT-3.5. Microsoft (MSFT) is adding those large language models to the newest version of Microsoft Teams.
I think teams with GPT-3.5 could be Microsoft’s Zoom killer. For instance, Teams Premium now contains intelligent recap. Intelligent recap automatically generate meeting notes.
They claim intelligent recap can identify the highlights of the meeting. Additionally, they claim intelligent recap can identify the information most important to the user. Another feature they call AI-Generated chapters can divide a meeting into sections so users can pick the most relevant content. AI-generated tasks allow users to identify the assignments from the meeting.
Hence, Teams Premium frees people of the need to attend many meetings. Millions of employees waste time at s at meetings. I predict Teams Premium will be popular because people hate meetings.
Consequently, I think Teams Premium is a threat to Zoom (ZOOM) and other video software. OpenAI’s large language models could help Microsoft dominate video meetings.
I think Teams Premium could become a revenue generator for Microsoft (MSFT) because of subscriptions. Microsoft plans to sell $7 to $10 Teams Premium subscriptions, The Verge reports.
How Much Money is Microsoft (MSFT) making?
Hence, Microsoft Inc. (NASDAQ: MSFT) could have an enormous new moneymaker on its hands. Value investors need to take notice because Microsoft is already an enormous moneymaker.
For example, Microsoft reported $52.747 billion in quarterly revenues on 31 December 2022. Impressively, the quarterly revenues grew from $51.728 billion on 31 December 2021. However, Microsoft’s revenue growth fell to just 1.97% in the quarter ending on 31 December 2023, Stockrow estimates.
