The internet is familiar territory, so it’s the default connectivity choice for many enterprises – despite spikes in usage, slow speed, broken connections, outages and security vulnerabilities. These conditions can create uncertainty, lower productivity, damage business reputation, affect service delivery and trigger user and customer dissatisfaction.
According to Gartner®, “Direct internet access into CSP ports doesn’t scale well, since each CSP has unique administrative and management portals, billing, SLA and security requirements.” As internet traffic increases, the glitches and gaps are likely to increase and contribute to performance issues and management headaches.

The Recipe for Cloud Success
Many IT leaders realize they can’t or don’t want to deal with connectivity on their own. Provisioning and maintaining internet-based connectivity takes time away from other IT priorities. The equipment needed to route packets is expensive. Lead times to get a service up and running can be lengthy. And it’s complicated to figure out how to move traffic between cloud providers efficiently and cost effectively.
When you colocate your IT infrastructure with CoreSite, you can leverage the Open Cloud Exchange to solve common challenges.
