Carrier Neutral Connectivity
Telecommunications carriers and Internet Service Providers (ISP’s) differ in:
- Geographic coverage, particularly internationally
- Quality of communication and connection
- Monitoring and Support when things need change or go wrong
- Pricing structures
Providing internet connection and telecoms connection involves road-works and digging. The expense means that only very large in-house data centres have multiple carriers and internet connection options.
Carrier neutral colocation
A colocation data centre has many carriers and Internet providers present, and makes it easy for you to interconnect with them. The colocation data centre will act on a “carrier neutral” basis, not favouring one carrier over another, and providing equal access to all.
Choices of carriers
A choice amongst many carriers in a carrier neutral colocation data centre means you can negotiate:
- The best communications routes for your data or telephony traffic patterns
- Multiple paths and multiple carriers for redundancy and resilience
- Different carriers for the same routes for performance comparison
- The best pricing, and a change of carriers if needed.
Internet connection
A good colocation data centre offers a multi-homed Internet Transit service. You get the best of the carriers’ internet communications offerings wrapped up in one service and managed for you.
Range of carrier possibilities in colocation
Operating from a colocation data centre, you gain access to a whole world of carrier neutral telecoms and internet connection possibilities. You pick and choose what is right for you, unconstrained by the priorities of others, and change your choices as you choose.
