Element Critical’s interconnection services give your business direct, low-latency access to the ISPs, carriers, cloud providers, and partners your operations depend on. All of those connections are available within the dense, digital ecosystems of our facilities. We empower you to stop relying on the public internet for every interaction.
As an Element Critical customer, you can connect within a secure, shared multi-tenant environment built for high-performance network access. Instead of sending traffic across the public internet or investing in expensive last-mile circuits, your organization can establish direct physical connections to the networks that support your business. That can improve performance, reduce latency, and strengthen overall reliability.
The model is flexible as well. You may need a cloud on-ramp, a direct connection to an important business partner, or a broader multi-carrier strategy. Element Critical offers a complete range of interconnection options that can be configured around the specific requirements of your organization.
Get faster, more reliable access to the services, cloud platforms, and partners your business depends on. Element Critical Cross Connects create a dedicated physical link for secure, high-performance connectivity. They are also backed by industry-leading SLAs and dedicated pathway options for businesses with more demanding network requirements.
By bypassing the public internet, these connections give colocation customers a direct route to one another or to a broad range of service providers. That means lower latency, stronger reliability, and the infrastructure needed to support more complex disaster recovery and hybrid colocation strategies.
We engineered a complete suite of Point-to-Point (P2P) direct connect solutions to provide customers complete control over how they connect. Our network architecture ensures you have dedicated, zero friction access to service providers, carriers, and enterprise clients, and wherever else your business needs to reach.
Whether you’re linking to carriers, connecting facilities, or bridging your headquarters to your data center environment, EC Direct Connect delivers the dedicated, reliable connectivity your business depends on.
Element Critical provides a complete interconnection strategy. We offer direct connections between Element Critical data centers, links to third-party carrier hotels, direct P2P connections from our facilities to your corporate home office or in-house data center and cross connects to ISPs, carriers, cloud providers, and other business partners within our data centers.
By routing your data through private, direct connections rather than the public internet, customers can minimize exposure to cyber threats while maximizing network performance. Additionally, these direct connections significantly reduce standard data transfer and cloud egress costs.
With buy-on-behalf circuits, Element Critical acts as the single point of contact for your carrier connections — we place the order, manage the billing, and handle ongoing support on your behalf. Instead of coordinating directly with multiple carriers and juggling separate invoices and support tickets, you get one consolidated relationship, one bill, and one team to call, simplifying how you procure and manage connectivity.
Cross Connects are dedicated, physical connections that bypass the public internet, providing secure, direct access to clouds, partners, and service providers. This dedicated pathway delivers the increased reliability and significantly lower latency required to execute seamless hybrid colocation and robust disaster recovery strategies with zero friction.
