Network NextConnectivity
N+N internal networks which are designed with maximum redundancy and performance in mind.
Click the following for a simplified version of the structure.
There are two separate meet me rooms each with its own fibre access paths and containing dedicated racks allocated to key fibre providers (key fibre providers are allocated a rack in each room).
Each Meet Me Room has its own core switch and the network from each Meet Me Room to the data halls takes a separate path. One network routes low level (Green network) entering each rack from below and other routes at high level (pink/purple network) and enters each rack from above.
