CyrusOne (News - Alert), a provider of data center services, has introduced the CyrusOne Texas Internet Exchange (IX), an on-net platform that offers different types of multi protocol label switching (MPLS) ports or dedicated optical waves for interconnection failover between metro areas.
CyrusOne Texas Internet Exchange (IX) is currently deployed across CyrusOne facilities in Austin, Dallas, Houston and San Antonio.
The IX offers virtually unlimited connectivity options through access to all relevant carrier hotels, in addition to offering the use of multiple dedicated or “pay-as-you-eat” MPLS ports with online carrier selection via CyrusOne automation tools.
CyrusOne Texas IX enables customers to connect their enterprise facilities with third-party facilities to engage the full ecosystem of business partners, content providers, networks, carriers, Internet service providers, and Ethernet buyers and sellers. Customers also benefit from access to CyrusOne’s bandwidth marketplace, its Internet Exchange platform, or a cross-connect to cloud services, to build out capacity when transporting large amounts of data.
“Using the CyrusOne Texas IX platform frees customers from the constraint of having to choose solely between telecom carriers housed within a specific physical facility,” said Josh Snowhorn, vice president and general manager of Interconnection for CyrusOne. “Now, customers can identify and configure connections with any provider or partner at any connected facility.”
CyrusOne Texas IX allows customers to establish robust, low-latency, multi-point connections between a broad range of facilities or centers. They can deliver superior capabilities by improving performance, efficiency and workflow continuity; and enhance their return on investment when connections are required within a metro area or city-to-city.
Further, the company claims that through the CyrusOne Texas IX, clients can expect nearly infinite scalability with almost unlimited free ports. It also facilitates settlement-free peering, settlement-based peering, and buy/sell traffic exchanges with partners and providers.
