An uplink port consists of one or two (redundant) LAN ports that are directly connected to the public Internet without filters or firewalls.
Redundant uplink ports are provided on separate infrastructures, both of which allow full access to the Internet. In the event of a fault, each of these uplink ports can assume full functionality. If there is a switch to the redundant port, the same bandwidth is available there as on the primary port. The bandwidth provided and the transfer port to the customer vary depending on the product.
A loop-through link consists of one or two redundant connections between a physical and a logical environment.
A physical environment consists, for example, of physical servers, firewalls, etc., while a logical environment consists, for example, of VMs (virtual machines), virtualised systems (e.g. virtual firewall), etc.
Redundant loop-through links are provided on separate infrastructures. If there is a switch to the redundant link, the same bandwidth is available there as for the primary link.
Patch connections are connections between individual racks within the same section of the data centre, between racks in different data centre sections, from the data centre rack to the carrier room or between the SpaceNet data centres.
The patch connections can be implemented as a single connection or a number of connections. If required, redundant routing of individual connections can be taken into account. Different technologies are offered depending on the distance.
The bandwidth provided, the patch type and the transfer interface of patch connections depend on the product variant ordered.
A transceiver is required to translate electrical network signals bidirectionally into optical network signals. A separate transceiver is required for each connection.
In addition to individual transceivers per connection, there are also transceiver units for n-connections, coupled in one transceiver device.
Bandwidth, wavelength, distance bridging, etc. differ or depend on the product variant ordered.
We send and receive data via the Internet using the uplink port provided. The desired billing method for traffic or inclusive packages depends on the product variant provided.
