Fiber and Cloud Connectivity
This facility is carrier-neutral.
From DRT-CH1, our global, IPv6 network traverses multiple, disparate fiber paths to ensure always-on network connectivity. Four of these paths terminate at 350 E. Cermak, where we interconnect with and peer with dozens of other fiber and cloud providers. Another path bypasses 350 E. Cermak altogether, providing our customers an alternate path to other fiber and cloud providers as well as the Internet.
Our network engineering team works with you to architect the proper Managed Network for your business, whether it’s Metro Ethernet, MPLS VPN Transport, Local Access Circuits, Alien Wavelengths, Lit Wavelengths, Protected Wavelengths, or a Managed DWDM solution.
All Managed Network customers enjoy 100% SLAs for availability and other guarantees against packet loss, latency, and jitter. Our network is also supported 24x7x365 by our own local network engineering and operations staff.
