CoreSite announced the launch of new Open Cloud Exchange(R) (OCX) capabilities that enable clients to rapidly create higher-bandwidth virtual connections to Google Cloud and between CoreSite data centers including 20G and 50G services. These enhancements to the OCX, CoreSite's leading software-defined networking platform, also reduce the time required for organizations to augment network capacity and support the next wave of high-bandwidth, low-latency hybrid applications such as artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML) and digital media production. CoreSite launched the new OCX capabilities as part of an initiative to support a global streaming media and entertainment (M&E) client, which will leverage the enhanced functionality to support its burst operations in peak production season -- improving operational agility to meet stringent movie launch schedules.

Among the key ways clients will benefit from these enhancements include: Accerarate data transfer to cloud applications by as much as 5x for improved ML-ops and visual effects. Simplify the process to rapidly scale network capacity between the enterprise edge and public cloud providers. Reduce operating expenses by enabling clients to right-size their network to meet current and future business needs.
