Metro Connect – Managed Wave
solution now available at North
East Paris campus
Interxion, a Digital Realty Company
and a leading European provider of
carrier- and cloud-neutral colocation
data centre solutions, has announced
the availability of its Metro Connect –
Managed Wave solution at its North East
Paris campus. Interxion Metro Connect
– Managed Wave provides fully managed
and monitored point-to-point connectivity,
allowing businesses to link multiple
deployments and reach connected
communities beyond the data centre
facility where they are located.
“In today’s climate where digital business
is becoming increasingly essential,
low latency, reliable connectivity and
strong performance have never been
more important,” said Fabrice Coquio,
Managing Director, Interxion France.
“With the new availability of Metro
Connect – Managed Wave at Interxion’s
North East Paris campus, our customers
can seamlessly connect to their business
partners to deliver the best possible user
experience to their customers.”
Powered by networking systems,
services and software company, Ciena,
Interxion’s Metro Connect – Managed
Wave is deployed with diverse paths for
full redundancy and reliability, offering
customers a variety of bandwidth
capabilities and access to connected
communities of interest outside the walls
of their primary data centre. With Interxion
providing 24x7 oversight along with all
the equipment required to interconnect
both parties, customers no longer need
to manage connections on their own or
purchase optical interfaces that can be
distance-sensitive and expensive.
“Through our Waveserver Ai data centre
interconnect (DCI) platform and the
Manage, Control, Plan (MCP) domain
controller, Interxion customers benefit
from lightspeed access and performance
awareness across data centres in the North
East Paris Campus and a dedicated optical
path offering low latency and no packet
loss,” said Jean David Fabre, EMEA’s
Global Content Network Advisor, Ciena.
This announcement comes as part of a
larger rollout of Metro Connect – Managed
Wave services across Europe, with
availability already in place at Interxion
campuses in Marseille, Amsterdam,
Brussels and Dublin. Metro Connect –
Managed Wave serves as an alternative
option to Interxion’s existing Metro Connect
– Fibre service, which is still available for
customers who prefer to manage and
monitor connections on their own. Both
solutions are now fully standardised in
all markets where Interxion has multiple
campuses, so customers receive the same
experience across Europe.
Interxion’s Metro Connect – Managed
Wave is now available to customers of the
North East Paris campus comprising PAR1,
PAR2, PAR3, PAR5 and PAR7 facilities. ◊
