Connectivity, Connectivity, Connectivity
Sure, location still matters, there's no denying that. What's also undeniable is that these days, connectivity matters just as much - sometimes more.
As a data center operator, you're a purveyor of digital infrastructure. The most fundamental piece of that infrastructure is the network. This is obvious when you look at the value of carrier hotels and meet-me-rooms. And no matter what type of data center you operate, you can put networking, interconnection, and enhanced connectivity to work for you.
Whether this fact is news to you, or something you've been taking advantage of for years; FullCtl's open source tools can help you leverage network connectivity to improve your operations.
Internet Access
From a simple backup or out-of band (OOB) offering to a full-blown "IP Blend" service, direct internet access (DIA) has become an expected staple for most data center tenants. It will never replace having multiple high-quality network providers on-site, but it is a great complimentary service.
FullCtl's open source tools are built on deep experience in designing, building, automating, and operating all flavors of ISP, NSP, and DC networks. Use them to build out a new internet service or automate and streamline your current network operations.
Internet Exchange
Often, an even bigger draw than the nearly obligatory DIA service is a thriving Internet exchange (IX). With the rapid explosion of cloud services, distributed teams, and remote-everything, organizations of all shapes and sizes are waking up to the value of direct interconnection. And they are looking to you to facilitate it with an on-site IX; often including one as an RFP requirement.
FullCtl's open source IX tools were built by experienced operators who have built successful, independent internet exchanges from the ground up. The tools encode that operational expertise so any team can benefit.
