Cyxtera announced its smart cabinet solution that provides customers with dedicated, on-demand colocation cabinets complete with built-in power and integrated, configurable, core network fabric. With Cyxtera Smart Cabinets it is no longer necessary for customers to make tradeoffs when weighing the benefits of colocation against those of public cloud models – customers can deploy into colocation with the speed and scale of the cloud without sacrificing the performance and security of dedicated infrastructure. By leveraging the self-service customer portal or API, customers can instantly deploy and dynamically configure their end-to-end colocation infrastructure in a cloud-like, on-demand model with direct access to a robust ecosystem of technology and service providers available across the company’s global platform. Integrated with Cyxtera’s massively scalable and highly secure network fabric and offering access to network connectivity from Cyxtera’s on-demand Layer 3 bandwidth solution, IP Connect, smart cabinets enable customers to achieve rapid connectivity in an as-a-service model without requiring them to bring in additional network hardware or incur further capital expenditures to get started. Expected to be available across 10+ global top-tier data center markets in first quarter of 2022, Cyxtera Smart Cabinets will enable enterprises to scale rapidly without compromising on performance, control, or cost. The company’s digital exchange, developed by Cyxtera from the ground up using an API-first approach, allows customers to connect dynamically to existing infrastructure anywhere in the world.
