CyrusOne has launched the first statewide internet exchange in Texas, called the CyrusOne Texas IX. The exchange allows customers to establish high-performance connections between CyrusOne facilities in Dallas, Houston, Austin, and San Antonio using redundant Brocade and Infinera networking equipment. This provides low-latency connections across Texas at no additional cost to customers. The statewide internet exchange offers advantages over traditional networks such as reduced costs, improved reliability, and faster data transfer speeds.

FREE YOUR COMPANY FROM CONVENTIONAL DATA
MANAGEMENT AND ENJOY A BROAD RANGE OF
CHOICE AND REACH WHEN TRANSPORTING LARGE
AMOUNTS OF DATA!
CyrusOne Internet Exchange customers are no longer confined
to telecom carriers housed within a physical facility; rather, they
are empowered to identify and configure connections via a virtual
on-net platform from a multitude of providers.
With the CyrusOne Internet Exchange, customers can establish
robust, low-latency multi-point connections between a broad
range of facilities or centers using redundant Brocade MLXe
platforms with an industry leading 768 10Gig ports per chassis
and state-of-the-art optical platforms from Infinera using the
DTN and future DTNx platform. The CyrusOne Internet Exchange
is also the easiest and fastest way for customers to gain all the
benefits associated with peering, at a lower transit purchase
cost.
DEPLOYED BETWEEN DALLAS, HOUSTON, AUSTIN
AND SAN ANTONIO
The CyrusOne Internet Exchange is deployed across CyrusOne
facilities in Dallas, Houston, Austin and San Antonio, and third
party carrier hotels in Houston and Dallas, providing deep
statewide interconnection between all metro-enabled sites, at no
cost to customers for ports or circuits.
Customers choosing to deploy on the CyrusOne Internet
Exchange gain significant advantages in performance, efficiency
and workflow continuity. Whether a customer chooses a
dedicated array of MPLS ports or “pay as you eat” scalability, the
CyrusOne Internet Exchange delivers superior capabilities and
return on investment when connections are required city to city.

Customers enjoy multiple ways of achieving multipoint data performance. Using ports on our redundant Brocade MLXe 16 and
32 switch platforms with VPLS failover, customers can reliably connect from a CyrusOne on-net facility to another CyrusOne on-net
location within the state’s major metro areas.
Using Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) combined with 802.11q VLAN tagging, these dedicated switches allow any customer group
or party within a facility to connect with multiple parties both within and outside of the facility. This BGP-driven process is known as
“peering” and is the core operational protocol by which global enterprises unite and optimize autonomous networks via the Internet
from multiple physical locations worldwide.
Interconnection can also be achieved between a customer’s In-house off-premise data center and a CyrusOne facility, via in-house
deployment of Brocade and/or Infinera hardware.
