What is Cross Connect?
A cross connect is a physical connection (fiber or copper cable) between two different points in a colocation center, which allows direct access to clouds, networks and partners outside of your data cabinet or rack. With a cross connect, you can transfer data at much faster speeds and with greater reliability because you bypass the public internet.
Why use Cross Connect?
- Increase performance & security
- Decrease latency
- More reliable than a wireless connection
- Monitor and manage information flow
