A huge thanks to Alyson Raletz at the Kansas City Business Journal for interviewing Darren Bonawitz about 1102 GRAND’s booming business.
Google may have to hurry to book room in fast-filling Internet hotel


A principal at what he says is Kansas City’s only Internet carrier hotel routinely hears the same question: Is Google coming to 1102 Grand?
The more appropriate question might be: Who’s not coming to 1102 Grand?
Although he would welcome Google Inc., 1102 Grand LLC co-owner Darren Bonawitz barely has time to utter his “no comment” refrain to inquiring customers because of the company’s booming growth.
The company, which provides carrier-neutral, or public, data center space in a 26-story building in downtown Kansas City, matched its record 2010 revenue numbers in the first six months of this year.

Kansas City Data Center 1102 GRAND Reviews: How Future Technology Will Change the World
Friday, September 2nd, 2011
Posted by: Darren Bonawitz, principal of 1102 GRAND
Here is an article from www.infoworld.com regarding the top 10 technologies that will revolutionize our lives in the next decade.
10 technologies that will change the world in the next 10 years
As computational power rises exponentially, not linearly, so does the rate of change — and that means the next 10 years should pack in far more technological change than the last 10.
Disruptive technology is, by its very nature, unpredictable, but it is still possible to look at the work being done by R&D labs around the world and see clues as to what the future holds. That’s the full-time job of Dave Evans, Cisco’s chief futurist and chief technologist for the Cisco Internet Business Solutions Group (IBSG).
At Cisco Live, Evans outlined what he believed to be the top 10 trends that will change the world in 10 years. Here is his list, with commentary augmented by yours truly based on interviews in the past year with numerous other industry analysts and visionaries.
No. 1: The Internet of things
We have passed the threshold where more things are connected to the Internet than people. The transition to IPv6 also supports seemingly limitless connectivity. Cisco IBSG predicts the number of Internet-connected things will reach 50 billion by 2020, which equates to more than six devices for every person on Earth. Many of us in the developed world already have three or more full-time devices connected to the Internet when factoring in PCs, smartphones, tablets, television devices and the like. Next up are sensor networks, using low-power sensors that “collect, transmit, analyze, and distribute data on a massive scale,” says Evans.
Such sensors, based on standards like Zigbee, 6LoWPAN and Z-wave, are currently being used in both predictable and surprising ways. Zigbee is being embedded in smart appliances and smart meters. 6LoWPAN (over IPv6) is used by Vint Cerf for his wine cellar climate-monitoring system. Z-Wave is the basis for Verizon’s smart home automation service. But more creative uses are emerging, too. Sparked, a Dutch startup, implants sensors in the ears of cattle to monitor cows’ health and whereabouts. Sensors are being embedded in shoes, medicine like asthma inhalers, and medical exploratory surgery devices. There’s even a tree in Sweden wired with sensors that tweets its mood and thoughts, with a bit of translation help from an interpretive engine developed by Ericsson (@connectedtree or #ectree).
