Typical situation no. 15
An operator of two sites in Lyon and Grenoble wants to attract cloud and content service providers. Its prospects are asking for direct access to internet exchange points (IX) and guaranteed latency to Paris and Marseille.
WHAT IS BLOCKING
- Joining an internet exchange point (IX) requires transport to its points of presence, and the cost varies widely between carriers.
- A choice must be made between becoming a point of presence of an internet exchange point (IX) or connecting to it remotely.
- Cloud customers compare these offers with those of the large Paris campuses.
WHAT WE DO
- Analysis of the target customers' needs: latency, bandwidth, interconnection.
- Comparison of the accessible internet exchange points (IX) and their terms.
- Consultation of transport carriers and comparison of offers.
- Roadmap to becoming a "connected" site.
WHAT YOU GET
- An interconnection recommendation with estimated annual costs.
- The commercial arguments to present to prospects.
- An implementation plan.
Typical format: Advisory assignment, about three weeks. Every assignment is scoped in writing before it starts.
