What is it?

What is Data Centre Connectivity?

If you or your MPLS provider share a data centre presence with Cloud Gateway, we can establish connectivity and extend it to your other network endpoints. We're located in:

Equinix LD8 (London)
Equinix MA3 (Manchester)
Ark Cody Park (Farnborough)
Ark Spring Park (Corsham)
Telehouse North (London)

Connecting to you (Cross Connect)

If you connect to Cloud Gateway we'll produce a Letter of Authority (LOA) which grants you the capability to terminate a fibre cable in our rack. It’s up to you to make arrangements with the data centre provider to run the cable from one rack to another. If Cloud Gateway connects to you, the responsibilities are reversed!

Connecting to a third party provider (Network-Network Interface - NNI)

The LOA process is the same when connecting to third party MPLS providers. We'll work with the MPLS provider to create the connection and associated design. You will also need to be involved.
