DATA CENTER INTERCONNECTION

Frequently Asked Questions

WHAT IS INTERCONNECTION? Interconnection services are the connections between companies in colocation data centers that enable the exchange of data, through both physical and virtual networking technologies.
WHAT IS A CROSS CONNECT? A cross connect is a physical, hardwired cable that provides a direct connection between two different termination locations within a data center. It is a fiber, coaxial or copper link between your equipment and the equipment of the companies also deployed in the data center that you interact with – your digital ecosystem.
WHAT IS PEERING? Peering is a process in which two independent carrier networks (peers) connect and exchange data. It allows direct hand-off of traffic without incurring extra transport costs for the transaction.
WHAT IS BLENDED IP? Blended IP is the ability to use multiple internet service providers (vs. a single provider) and local internet exchanges in order to transfer data at the highest available speed.
WHAT IS INTER-SITE INTERCONNECTION? Data center interconnects link two or more data centers, enabling resource sharing and access to all the providers and business partners located in each data center. An interconnect utilizes a high-speed WAN link, including MPLS, Ethernet and/or VPLS to unite the data centers in a secure meet-me room.
WHAT IS DARK FIBER? Dark fiber is unused fiber optic cable in a colocation data center that an enterprise can “light” with their own networking equipment. Cross connects can be made using dark fiber or “lit” fiber.
