OVERLAND PARK, Kan.,
March 6, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- QTS
Realty Trust (NYSE: QTS), a leading provider of hybrid colocation
and mega scale data center solutions, today announced availability
of QTS Switchboard, one of the industry's first
software-defined networking services enabling QTS customers with
self-service provisioning of one-to-many interconnection
solutions from a single Ethernet port in as few as 30
seconds.
A key addition to QTS' Service Delivery Platform (SDP),
Switchboard automation simplifies and reduces costs exponentially
by eliminating lead time associated with the provisioning of
multiple dedicated ports, routers, switches and related
maintenance.
Available in 1 and 10 gigabit connection speeds, Switchboard's
self-service, online ordering is available 24/7 via QTS' SDP and
includes the physical cross connect to enable the service.
QTS Switchboard interconnection solutions include:
- Local - rapid interconnection between customers within QTS data
centers
- Metro - easily connect to other QTS data centers in the same
metropolitan area
- Carrier – seamlessly connect to thousands of local provider
networks
- Long-Haul - a fully meshed network between QTS mega data
centers in key U.S. markets
- Cloud – direct, secure connectivity to AWS, Microsoft Azure and
Google Cloud
Other Switchboard features include a single order, single bill
from QTS, minimizing the number of vendors required for
connectivity, and Flow Through Automation, an SD-WAN feature
controlled via QTS' SDP that enables customers to secure their
connectivity faster.
"Hybrid colocation and cloud solutions now have a rapid and
simple interconnection solution that improves performance and
significantly lowers costs," said Jon
Greaves, Chief Technology Officer for QTS. "A key
addition to our Service Delivery Platform, Switchboard is one of
the industry's first software-defined interconnection solutions and
delivers unprecedented value to QTS customers."
In late 2017, QTS introduced the industry's first
software-defined, API-driven Service Delivery Platform that
empowers customers to interact with their data and QTS services by
providing real-time visibility, access, and dynamic control of
critical metrics across hybrid IT environments from a single
platform.
In addition, customers gain additional cloud visibility,
cost-containment, analytics capabilities via new SDP tools such
as CloudCheckr, Power Analytics, Asset Manager, and
Online Ordering and are benefiting from greater control,
increased security, ease of compliance, and reduced risk.
