tw telecom is previewing its upcoming “Constellation Platform”, which promises dedicated Ethernet access to a virtual private cloud. The company said its goal is to enable enterprise customers to “click and connect,” building new network service connections on demand to data centers and cloud applications providers across the country.
tw telecom will be partnering with leading data center provider CoreSite to demonstrate a prototype version at the upcoming Cloud Expo 2013 in New York City. The companies said their demonstration will create a new network connection to extend through the data center and into the database application service provider on-demand, in real time.
“Imagine having a dedicated, secure, predictable and scalable Ethernet network for your enterprise’s cloud needs. Then imagine having that network available at the click of a button, building the service connection in real time, on-demand,” said John Blount, Chief Operating Officer, tw telecom. “No more writing service orders, waiting 45 or 120 days or longer for a dedicated network connection. Our future Constellation Platformsm will enable enterprise customers to establish new Business Ethernet service connections, with as much bandwidth as they need, to any data center or cloud provider we are connected to, in real time.”
