CoreSite has enhanced its Open Cloud Exchange (OCX) with automated provisioning functionality within Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) and direct cloud-to-cloud communication capabilities on CoreSite’s fully managed virtual routers. OCX enables secure, low latency connectivity among the company’s data centers, cloud providers and digital ecosystem needed to reach new markets, rapidly scale on-demand, reduce total cost of operation (TCO) and accelerate IT modernization.
The new Layer 3 connection to OCI, available through the OCX, provides 1 Gbps bandwidth for customers, with 10 Gbps to follow in future releases.
CoreSite customers can now access Oracle Cloud Regions in Chicago, Ashburn and Phoenix from all CoreSite data centers. In addition, CoreSite’s Chicago campus serves as a key interconnection point for the Oracle Cloud Chicago Region with FastConnect.
“Since introducing the Open Cloud Exchange® over a decade ago, CoreSite has continually invested in building out the platform to support modern use cases in the age of digitization,” said Matt Senderhauf, VP of Interconnection Strategy at CoreSite. “The OCX makes it easy for customers to deploy a high-performance hybrid architecture and meet their ever-changing, critical IT infrastructure requirements.”
