CONSTRUCTION carriers have established a point of presence . Each data centre has multiple fibre entry points ( aka pits ) to ensure that carriers can provide fully redundant offerings to their and NEXTDC ’ s customers . Diversity and redundancy is also supported within NEXTDC ’ s facilities through multiple paths and data hall entry points from each interconnect room .
As NEXTDC develops its second data centre in a given city , it will be bridging the physical distance between the two data centres with an expanded data centre cross connect product set , based on diverse fibre links if required , or very low cost fibre-like dedicated connections . This will allow organisations to seamlessly extend their service between data centres , and give customers of either facility secure access to the other .
NEXTDC also operates its own private Enterprise LAN supporting the many IT-related services needed to run a large data centre business , which is deployed with the support of their local partner Comlinx based upon technology
