Data Center Interconnect (DCI) Solutions
Secure, Low-Latency Optical Connectivity and High Bandwidth Fiber for Your Colocation and Hyperscale Needs.
The DCI Challenge
The Problem: Data center growth demands massive, guaranteed bandwidth between sites. Therefore, relying on the public internet or standard VPNs creates bottlenecks and latency risks. This directly impacts critical processes like clustering, virtualization, and real-time data replication.
Our Solution: We provide specialized Data Center Interconnect (DCI) Solutions. Specifically, these are dedicated, ultra-high capacity fiber circuits engineered for the unique demands of data centers. In short, we ensure seamless, High Bandwidth DCI that is secure, fast, and always on.
Solutions Tailored for Data Centers
We offer three distinct solutions to match your operational model and technical requirements:
Optical Wavelength Services: This is our most popular option. We deliver Fiber Wavelengths for Colocation that are immediately ready for service (Lit). You get dedicated 100G, 400G, or 800G capacity with guaranteed low latency and 24/7 management by our experts.
Managed DWDM: For complex needs, we offer complete Managed DWDM deployments. This allows you to combine multiple services (like Ethernet and Fibre Channel) onto one highly protected fiber link between your facilities.
Dark Fiber Lease: If you need total control, lease our Dark Fiber. Consequently, your team can deploy custom optics, manage the equipment lifecycle, and achieve the absolute lowest Low Latency DCI path.
Why Choose Our Fiber for Your DCI?
Unlike general carriers, we specialize in the specific demands of DCI.
Data Center Focus: Because we are a specialized DCI Solutions Provider, we understand density, power, and cross-connect procedures.
Guaranteed Performance: We promise a guaranteed latency Service Level Agreement (SLA). This allows you to plan and rely on our network performance precisely.
Rapid Provisioning: Since time is money in the DC world, we offer some of the fastest deployment timelines for Fiber Wavelengths.
In summary, we provide the speed and reliability your colocation environment demands.
FAQs
What is the difference between a "Wavelength Service" and a "Dark Fiber Lease"?
Simply put, Wavelength Service is a “Lit” service. Therefore, we provide the fiber, the equipment (lasers, DWDM gear), and all the 24/7 management. You just plug your router into our hand-off and get instant capacity (10G to 800G).
Conversely, a Dark Fiber Lease is an “Unlit” service. Crucially, we only provide the bare fiber optic cable. You bring all of your own optical equipment, manage it, and handle future upgrades. In short, Wavelengths are for immediate capacity; Dark Fiber is for ultimate control.
Is a Wavelength Service secure? Is my traffic shared?
Yes, our Wavelength Services are inherently secure. Because they are a Layer 1 connection, your traffic is delivered as a dedicated color of light across our network. Consequently, it is physically isolated from all other customer data, including the public internet. This provides a Private Fiber Connection that meets strict enterprise and financial security standards.
What level of latency can I expect on a Wavelength Service?
Our advantage is ultra-low, guaranteed latency. First, as a Layer 1 service, we bypass all slow routing and processing layers. Moreover, for critical routes (like financial corridors), we can provide a Guaranteed Latency Service Level Agreement (SLA). Therefore, the latency is predictable and minimal, making our circuits ideal for synchronous data replication and high-frequency trading.
Can I upgrade my Wavelength speed (e.g., from 100G to 400G) without replacing the fiber?
Yes, absolutely. Because our services are based on DWDM technology, we use a single fiber pair to carry many individual channels (wavelengths). Therefore, upgrading your service (e.g., moving from a 100G circuit to a 400G circuit) often requires only swapping out the optical equipment on our end, not physically replacing the Scalable Wavelength Capacity in the ground. This makes upgrades fast and non-disruptive.
Do you offer Wavelength Services for both metropolitan (metro) and long-haul routes?
Yes, we offer complete geographic coverage. Specifically, our Metro Wavelength Service connects data centers and offices within a single city (e.g., Dallas DCI). Conversely, our Long-Haul Optical Transport connects distant cities (e.g., New York to Chicago). In both cases, you receive the same level of dedicated capacity and managed reliability.
Ready to Discuss Your High-Capacity Network Requirements?
Don’t let bandwidth limitations slow your business. Our network engineers are ready to design a custom DWDM solution tailored to your specific endpoints and capacity needs (from 100G up to 800G).
