Reaching Service Providers in Other Cities With VXCs

Reaching Service Providers in Other Cities With VXCs

Your security vendor is in Mumbai, your cloud partner in Chennai and you are in Gurugram. Virtual cross connects reach them all from one port.

The distributed supplier problem

Modern organisations rely on providers for security, backup, payment processing, analytics and more. Those providers have infrastructure in different cities. Connecting to each traditionally meant a separate long-distance circuit.

VXCs across the fabric

If a provider is on Peer1IX in any city, a Virtual Cross Connect can link your port to theirs. The fabric carries the traffic privately between locations.

Advantages

  • Order connections in software.
  • Pay for the bandwidth you need on each.
  • Switch providers by moving a VXC.

Example

A fintech in Gurugram uses one Peer1IX port with VXCs to a payment processor in Mumbai, a DDoS scrubbing provider and a backup service in Chennai.

Find out which providers are on the fabric.
