Internet Exchange & Edge
Data Center to Data Center Connectivity Options
Choosing between Layer 2, Layer 3, wavelength and dark fibre for DCI.
Infivate Networks Team 1 min read
Why DCI
Replication, disaster recovery and distributed applications need fast, reliable links between data centers.
Options
- Layer 2 services for stretched networks
- Layer 3 VPNs for routed designs
- Wavelengths for high capacity
- Dark fibre for full control
Design considerations
Latency, encryption, protection switching and capacity growth determine the right choice.
Avoid stretching too far
Large stretched layer 2 domains increase failure blast radius; prefer routed designs where possible.
