What you get

A clean, direct link between two of our data centers. To you it feels like a single long cable: whatever you put in at one end comes out unchanged at the other. No detour over the internet, no unexpected routing. Useful for extending your own network to a second site or for handing off an uplink straight to a partner or customer.

When does it fit?

  • Connecting two data centers

    You have equipment in two data centers and want to manage them as one environment — for backups, replication or a failover site.

  • Handoff to a partner

    A customer or supplier sits in a different data center than you. With an Ethernet path you deliver that uplink cleanly and without using the public internet.

  • Building a second site

    You want to be less dependent on a single location. Build a second site in another data center and connect both with a direct link.

What's in it for you?

  • Fully transparent

    We don't touch your traffic. VLANs, IP plan and routing stay in your hands — we just carry the bits across.

  • Predictable performance

    A fixed path across our backbone, not the public internet. Calm, stable throughput without surprises.

  • Scales up to 80 Gbit/s

    Start at 1 or 10 Gbit/s and grow up to 80 Gbit/s as you scale. Handoff also at 25, 40 or 100 GE.

  • Fast turn-up

    Often within one business day, depending on the data center cross-connect. No multi-week waits.

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