CoreSite Launches 100G Ethernet Virtual Circuits On Open Cloud Exchange Platform

CoreSite, an American Tower company empowering critical business and AI workloads that impact everyday life through interconnected data center solutions,announced that it is expanding its Ethernet Virtual Circuits (EVCs) bandwidth option with the introduction of 100Gbps (G) on the Open Cloud Exchange (OCX) platform, CoreSite’s software-defined interconnection service that simplifies and accelerates connectivity between markets and hybrid IT deployments. High-performance EVC connections advance the capabilities of the OCX and enable customers to access CoreSite’s nationwide ecosystem at much higher speeds, connect to high-bandwidth cloud providers and partners as well as enter new markets more quickly.

Using OCX, CoreSite customers can activate services in minutes to establish direct, secure and high-performance paths to public cloud providers, network carriers and partner, vendor and customer ecosystems over a private network. With access to higher bandwidth options, customers can also elevate the performance of their connections, enabling more packets to be transported across the network at the speed needed to support AI, machine learning, high-performance computing and real-time analytics.

“CoreSite continually strives to deliver added value for our customers,” said Matt Senderhauf, VP of Interconnection Strategy at CoreSite. “The introduction of 100G EVCs allows our customers to access CoreSite’s nationwide ecosystem on demand at the bandwidth level required to support today’s workloads. This added capability further establishes CoreSite as a connectivity leader for inter-market connections to all major cloud regions in the United States, digital partners and between their deployments across the country.”

The bandwidth increases addresses escalating industry digital demands while allowing customers to stay ahead of growing performance demands to future-proof their businesses. The enhancement is well timed as Ethernet is projected to dominate both scale-up and scale-out segments of the market according to a recent report by the Dell’Oro Group.

CoreSite’s ability to provide 100G connectivity has enabled an existing government customer to seamlessly interconnect its deployment across the CoreSite Silicon Valley, Northern Virginia and Orlando data center campuses. By utilizing OCX, the customer bypassed the need for multiple long-haul carrier circuits, instead establishing high-capacity, private connectivity across all three markets through CoreSite’s single, software-defined platform. This architecture delivers built-in path protection for enhanced resiliency, while OCX’s on-demand provisioning allows the customer to dynamically scale bandwidth in alignment with evolving workload requirements.

Access to OCX is available through CoreSite’s single, secure self-service interface, allowing customers to manage and scale network connections on demand and in near real time without complex, manual reconfiguring, significant infrastructure changes or reliance on multiple vendors. Higher bandwidth connections are available across all CoreSite markets without long-term contracts, offering customers the flexibility they require to cost-effectively scale their ecosystems to meet required performance levels and fluctuating traffic demands.
