TierPoint offers low-latency connections to AWS, Azure, Google and Oracle , enabling faster data flow, reduced data ingress/egress costs, and a consistently high-quality customer experience. Additionally, TierPoint provides AWS Direct Connect from our Seattle facility, extendable across our national network to any of our 40+ data centers.
Data Center Interconnection
Connect IT systems and services between TierPoint data centers with Interconnect Express (ICX), our state-of-the art data center interconnection technology with speeds up to 10 Gbps. TierPoint also offers higher speed connectivity in select markets using optical networking at speeds of 100 Gbps and 400 Gbps. Data center interconnection lets you bypass the Internet and exchange data directly between TierPoint data centers using private, low-latency network bandwidth. You’ll get faster data transfer speeds, lower latency, and enhanced security - all backed by fully redundant systems to prevent any unplanned downtime.
Cross Connects
A Cross Connect is a dedicated physical connection between networks or services in the same TierPoint data center. Bypassing the Internet with a direct physical connection significantly reduces latency and costs while enhancing data security. We can install and manage physical cross connects from your colocated servers to the telecoms, internet service providers, cloud providers, or other customers located in our multi-carrier data centers.
Data Center Fabric (DCF)
Each TierPoint data center features a data center fabric (DCF) consisting of high-speed connections that link servers and storage devices within that data center. TierPoint DCF enables any-to-any high-speed connectivity inside the data center, boosting workload performance and accelerating data flows with transfer rates up to 40 Gbps. DCF underpins the use of advanced networking technologies and robust managed services like automated data back-up and disaster recovery.

Key Benefits of IT Network Services
Reduced Latency & Improved Performance
Direct connectivity with telecoms, ISPs, public cloud providers, and within/between TierPoint data centers means reduced data latency and enhanced network performance for our customers. Enjoy high-performance bandwidth that streamlines the flow of data through your network to deliver exceptional customer experiences.
Increased Agility & Flexibility
Companies sending data over the public Internet have minimal control over network traffic routing, prioritization, and optimization, which can lead to bottlenecks negatively impacting network performance. TierPoint’s IT network solutions give companies the agility and flexibility to regulate network traffic, prioritize critical applications, and optimize data flows based on their business needs.
Simplified Management & Scalability
Scaling your network on the public Internet means purchasing more bandwidth from ISPs at significant cost, but often without proportional improvements in speed and reliability. With IT network services from TierPoint, you’ll benefit from high-speed direct connections and burstable bandwidth with built-in redundancy to ensure seamless data transfer as you scale your business.
Enhanced Network Speed
Passing data through the public Internet can leave your IT operations vulnerable to unpredictable latency, fluctuating bandwidth, and congestion issues that slow down traffic on your network. With TierPoint’s IT network services, you can bypass the public Internet, avoid slow-downs, and enhance the speed of data on your network by leveraging direct high-speed connections with carriers, ISPs, and other TierPoint data centers.
Secure & Private Connectivity
Sensitive data traveling over the public Internet is more vulnerable to being intercepted or stolen by cyber attackers. With TierPoint’s IT network services, your data bypasses the public Internet and travels directly over secure private infrastructure where it’s less exposed to man-in-the-middle, packet sniffing, and other kinds of cyber attacks.
Improved Network Reliability
With multiple Tier 1 carriers, built-in redundancy across our network of carrier-neutral facilities, and 24x7 network performance monitoring, TierPoint delivers reliable network performance with up-time SLOs of up to 100% to keep your critical systems online and your business operational.
