- 10 Gbps direct Ethernet connections from the Fastmetrics Core to the customer location. Facilitated over a 10G layer one single mode fiber connection. metricDIRECT is optically switched for optimal low latency performance.
The 10 Gbps customer demarcation switch provided and managed by Fastmetrics has the ability to traffic shape different speeds and services on different demarc switch ports. For example, the service can be delivered in the following configurations:
- 2 Gbps Direct Internet or;
- 2 Gbps Direct Internet + 8 Gbps Direct Cloud Connect
Or;
- 3 Gbps Direct Internet to Customer Site #1
- 1 Gbps From Customer Site #1 to Customer Site #2
- 5 Gbps Direct Cloud Connect
Other configurations are available as well.
These services can be handed off at different ports on the demarcation switch and / or managed with separate VLAN (Virtual LAN) numbers. The demarcation switch will traffic shape egress and ingress traffic to desired bandwidth.
Fastmetrics connects to the demarcation switch from the data center with a 10 Gbps Single Mode SFP+ transceiver. The customer can connect via different media, such as Twinax cables (3 to 6 feet). Or, 10 Gbps multimode fiber transceivers which are well suited for short distances. Or, customers can use a 10 Gbps single mode fiber transceiver better suited for long distances (more than 300 feet).
