CyrusOne, a provider of mission-critical, carrier-neutral data center facilities, aimed to enable its customers to exchange massive amounts of data at high speeds by extending their cloud connectivity ecosystem across its facilities nationwide. The company sought to deliver a cost-effective platform for transparent interconnections by deploying MPLS/VPLS technology. It also aimed to meet customer demand for high service levels and redundant interconnections with a highly resilient network architecture. Furthermore, CyrusOne wanted to improve business agility and service delivery times with rapid provisioning of new Ethernet ports. The company also aimed to provide investment protection and support for future bandwidth needs with high-density 10 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) and 100 GbE scalability, supporting terabit LAG capacities.

CyrusOne considered various platforms from multiple vendors—assessing their cost and features—before choosing Brocade to interconnect its cloud data centers. The company selected the Brocade MLX Series router because it provides the most value and future scalability. Working closely with Brocade, CyrusOne designed a network capable of supporting the National IX services at a scalable capacity based on customer needs. Today, CyrusOne has 22 Brocade® MLX® Series routers deployed nationwide, interconnecting its 12 data centers between the five metros that comprise the National IX platform. Over 2500 10 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) and 1000 1 GbE ports are available across the network, with the capacity to expand to 100 GbE as customer demand for bandwidth grows. The network, capable of meeting or exceeding five-nines reliability, is designed with fully redundant elements at numerous levels.
