Inter-Site and Inter-Market Connectivity

Scale Without Constraints Among Data Centers and Across Regions

OVERVIEW

Connect Locally, Regionally and Control Costs

Inter-site connectivity enables an IT infrastructure to execute as though it’s all in one facility, even though two or more data centers are included in the deployment. Inter-market connectivity happens when the data center provider can enable private network data communications and application access between facilities across multiple markets. 

The business advantages? Predictable operational costs. Rapid, dynamic scalability and the freedom to run any services you want over “your” network.

INCREASE CONTROL OF BANDWIDTH COSTS
When you need data in real time, experience bursts or data volumes grow significantly, the cost of utilizing existing “lit” fiber connections can be challenging. CoreSite offers the ability to control the costs and broadband capacity by taking advantage of CoreSite’s dark fiber connections.

TOTAL CONTROL OF NETWORK CONNECTIONS BETWEEN DATA CENTERS

Capacity on demand, maximum security, complete flexibility and direct connections to cloud resources
INTER-SITE CONNECTIVITY

Choose Your Method of Connection

Let’s say you want to connect our LA2 data center and One Wilshire. Our lit fiber transport solution offers rapid deployment. Or, we can activate a dedicated dark fiber pair for you on our high-count dark fiber ring.  Access the providers you need in an interconnection-dense facility while cost-effectively growing without constraints in a scalable, enterprise-class data center.

INTER-MARKET CONNECTIVITY

Tether Environments for Regional Hub Access

In some markets where CoreSite has a single data center, we offer common-carrier access to regional interconnection hubs. This creates tethered environments, similar to CoreSite’s inter-site options, for disaster recovery or other purposes. With 450+ domestic and international carriers and access to 40+ intercontinental cables, connecting your deployments is straightforward and cost effective.   Learn More

Frequently Asked Questions

WHY DO ENTERPRISES USE INTER-SITE AND INTER-MARKET CONNECTIVITY? Common uses are to expand geographic operations, to enhance customer experience and to cultivate revenue opportunities in different financial markets.
IS INTER-SITE AND INTER-MARKET CONNECTIVITY BETTER THAN USING THE PUBLIC INTERNET? Direct, dedicated network connections are faster and more secure than the public internet, and they minimize data packet loss, thereby improving quality of service. 
WHY IS FIBER ADVANTAGEOUS IN INTER-SITE AND INTER-MARKET CONNECTIVITY? Fiber-optic cables transmit data using light signals, and this technology provides high bandwidth and low latency. Fiber can be used for short, medium and long-distance network connectivity.
HOW DOES INTERCONNECTION SUPPORT CLOUD APPLICATIONS? Organizations can support hybrid and multicloud environments by interconnecting on-premises data centers with private clouds and public clouds through a data center. Another example is content delivery networks, which use interconnection to cache and deliver content close to end users.  
WHAT ENABLES LOW LATENCY IN INTER-MARKET CONNECTIVITY? The key elements that enable low latency in intermarket connectivity include use of high-bandwidth, dedicated lines; colocation data centers; and control over network routing decisions.
WHAT ARE DATA CENTER CROSS CONNECTS? Cross connects are hardwired cables within a data center that create short, dedicated connections among servers, switches or other network components. Cross connects enable colocation customers to establish high-performance, direct connectivity to one another so they can, for example, complete inventory, order or billing transactions reliably and securely.
