Public Exchange Points
Bulk’s data centers host some of the Nordic’s most connected Internet Exchange Points (IXPs) through partnerships with Netnod (Northern Europe’s largest IXP) and other key Nordic exchanges, thereby cutting costs and ensuring the best latency, performance and resilience of the traffic exchange between our customers and their partner networks. Peering, more generally, provides our customers with direct connections between their network and their customers/partner networks thereby enabling direct exchange of traffic – in preference to indirect third-party IP transit providers.
Interconnected Networks
Bulk’s data centers have an extensive eco-system of connectivity partners that our customers can directly connect to. Private Interconnection (PI) to over 50 network partners is possible within the data center asset base. All of our facilities are carrier neutral and are directly connected to each other, thereby enabling access from any facility to all network partners available within another. This rich ecosystem of partner networks includes Internet Exchanges, Internet Service Providers (ISPs), Mobile Network Operators (MNOs), Cloud Service Providers (CSPs), Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) and other national, regional and global carrier and Network Service Providers (NSPs).
Cloud Enablement / Interconnection
Bulk’s partner networks enable dedicated, private and direct connections to all major Cloud Service Providers. These connections provide an ultra-secure path to said cloud networks thereby enabling our customers direct access to data, content and cloud services from their providers of choice. This accelerated access to CSP networks enables our customers to directly connect their colocation environments to applications hosted in the public, private or hybrid cloud environments of their choice.
Software Defined Networks (SDN)
Bulk’s network partners also provide a secure, on-demand SDN access model connecting customer networks to major Cloud Service Providers, global data center operators and global network operator networks. This platform is based on a pay per use model and enables the rapid turn-up of connections between networks, all managed via a central, secure customer portal.
