Private Connectivity for Hybrid Colocation Footprints

Private Connectivity for Hybrid Colocation Footprints

Many organisations now run a mix of owned rooms, colocation and edge sites. How a private network fabric ties them into one environment.

The typical picture

An enterprise today might have a server room at headquarters, racks in two colocation facilities, a few edge nodes near customers and workloads in the cloud. Each site was added for a good reason, but together they can become a patchwork.

The problem with islands

If sites connect to each other only over VPNs on the public internet, performance is unpredictable, troubleshooting crosses many providers, and security policy is hard to keep consistent.

A private fabric

Connecting every site to a common private network — such as the Peer1IX fabric — turns the islands into one environment. DC-to-DC links carry traffic between colocation sites; edge sites join through local ports; cloud on-ramps connect public cloud regions.

Consistent routing and security

With a single fabric, you can apply the same routing design and security policies everywhere. Services like Peer1ix Cloud Router and FWaaS can sit in the middle without hardware at each site.

Growing without redesign

When you add a new edge location or move a workload, it simply plugs into the fabric. No new VPN mesh, no new provider relationship.

Map your current footprint with our team and we will suggest a fabric design.
