Ethernet Transport

A direct connection between two data centres.

A clean, direct connection between two of our data centres. To you it feels like one long cable: whatever you put in on one side comes out unchanged on the other. Without having to lay fiber yourself.

What do you get?

A clean, direct connection between two of our data centres. No detour via the internet, no unexpected routing. Useful for extending your network to a second site or delivering an uplink straight to a partner or customer.

Delivered over fiber we've lit ourselves and over equipment we manage ourselves. No third party at the controls.

Available between Nikhef Amsterdam, NorthC Amsterdam, Databarn Amsterdam (extension of NorthC), Cellnex Amsterdam and IJsselstein LPK (Cellnex, external PoP). In Greenhouse Datacenters GHDC3 we don't deliver this service — there we offer IP transit and EVPN.

What's in it for you?
Fully transparent
We don't touch your traffic. VLANs, IP plan and routing stay in your hands — we only carry the traffic.
Predictable connection
A fixed path over our backbone, not via the public internet. Calm, stable throughput without surprises.
Scalable up to 80 Gbit/s
Start at 1 or 10 gigabit per second and scale up to 80 Gbit/s as you grow. Handoff also available at 25, 40 or 100 GE.
Delivered fast
Often within one working day, depending on the cross-connect at the data centre. No weeks of waiting for infrastructure.
When is this a good fit?

Ethernet transport fits when you:

  • Want to connect two data centres and manage them as one environment — for example for backups, replication or a failover site
  • Want to deliver an uplink straight to a partner or customer in another data centre, clean and without the internet in between
  • Want to build a second site to be less dependent on a single location
