Wavelengths
A dedicated connection between two data centres, just for you.
A direct connection of 10 or 100 gigabit per second between two Dutch data centres. The full capacity is yours — not shared with other customers and not affected by internet traffic.
What do you get?
Light travels over a fiber. Without extra technology, that's one lamp at each end of the cable — one colour of light, so one stream of traffic. If you need to move more traffic, you can take a bigger shared pipe, but you'll still be sharing the road with the other road users. A wavelength is the private road: with wavelength multiplexing (DWDM) we send dozens of colours of light over the same fiber at once, and one of those colours is entirely yours.
You connect your equipment at one end, we carry your colour in a straight line to the other end — and what you send over it is entirely up to you. The result: fixed, high capacity that other customers or internet traffic have no influence on. We deliver the connection over fiber we've lit ourselves with our own DWDM equipment; the entire optical network is under our management.
Wavelengths are available between our Amsterdam core locations: Nikhef, NorthC, Databarn (extension of NorthC) and Cellnex. At IJsselstein LPK (Cellnex) we don't deliver wavelengths due to an OTN limitation; nor in Greenhouse Datacenters GHDC3 — there we offer IP transit and EVPN.
A wavelength fits when you:
- Need a lot of capacity — a shared service no longer cuts it and you want a dedicated 10G or 100G connection that's entirely yours to use
- Are looking for predictable response times — for storage replication or database clusters where every millisecond counts; a wave has fewer hops
- Want full control — you decide which equipment and protocols to use; we deliver a clean optical connection
