Charlotte, United States – Flexential, a provider of data centre colocation, cloud and connectivity, announced the launch of Interconnection Mesh, an solution that empowers Flexential customers to manage and scale their connectivity solutions and meet the ever-changing requirements associated with today’s digital landscape. Customers can also leverage the power of the Flexential Xperience platform to gain full visibility of all their multi-site connections across their entire colocation deployment.
Flexential brings an advanced data centre to data centre connectivity solution that allows for a multi-site, any to any connection with quick provisioning. Flexential is solving the added complexities that expansion brings with an advanced network solution allowing for easy expansions, reduced circuit counts and a standardised building block to expand on the FlexAnywhere platform.
“Our enterprise customers overwhelmingly desire, and need, improved application and connectivity performance in order to be agile and foster business growth,” says Ryan Mallory, chief operating officer, Flexential. “Interconnection Mesh supports Flexential’s ongoing commitment to bring industry-leading connectivity solutions to our expanding customer base, meeting them where they need connections, and reducing the unnecessary complexity and friction of the process. We are excited to launch Interconnection Mesh and look forward to continued growth alongside our customers.”
As cloud traffic and adoption increases the demands on data centres, bolstered by the growing presence of Internet of Things (IoT) devices, the need for customisable, scalable connectivity options in more, accessible locations are stronger than ever. The addition of Interconnection Mesh offers the ability, and benefit, for customers to tailor data centre site bandwidth to suit their applications and needs while saving valuable time and resources.
To enable the new streamlined provisioning solution for multi-site, any to any connectivity, Flexential relies on the Cisco NCS 5500 router for its 100 GbE and 400 GbE port density and ability to handle large scale traffic and provide operational simplicity and efficient scaling.
“As companies work to deliver optimised experiences for a new generation of applications, data centre network connectivity and performance, scalability and security are top priorities,” says Kevin Wollenweber, vice president and general manager, mass-scale infrastructure group, routing and automation, Cisco. “Flexential’s Interconnection Mesh solution powered by Cisco networking technology will help customers simplify and accelerate the provisioning of data centre connectivity for distributed enterprises, and ensure delivery of superior application experiences.”
Flexential’s launch of Interconnection Mesh comes as the company drives momentum behind its national platform expansion initiative. Flexential is on track to significantly exceed its 2022 goal to add 33MW of new, sustainable data centre development projects and offer customers access to more than 220MW and 3 million square feet of capacity, across 19 markets, by year’s end.
