Simplifying complex connectivity for the modern enterprise

That’s why Flexential developed Interconnection Mesh, now available on our software-defined Flexential Fabric. Designed to simplify and accelerate connectivity across hybrid IT environments, Interconnection Mesh enables customers to create a multipoint transport topology, connecting multiple data centers or cloud endpoints through a single port.

With it, enterprises gain on-demand, software-defined control of their interconnections, making it easier than ever to adapt, expand, and optimize their digital infrastructure.

A smarter way to interconnect

Traditional point-to-point interconnection models often struggle to keep up with modern demands. As organizations expand into new markets, adopt multiple clouds, and distribute workloads globally, linear network topologies can’t deliver the flexibility, scalability, or control required to stay ahead.

Interconnection Mesh changes the game. It enables customers to connect multiple data centers or cloud endpoints through a single port on the Flexential Fabric. That means you can instantly connect to any site or node within the mesh, with no need to establish and manage multiple circuits.

In short: one port, many possibilities.

How it works

With Interconnection Mesh, you can:

• Provision multipoint connectivity from a single port: Streamline the process of building complex network topologies.
• Select Layer 2 or Layer 3 routing options: Match connectivity to your specific network architecture and workload needs.
• Leverage self-service automation: Configure and manage connections directly through the Flexential Xperience Portal (FXP), with near real-time visibility and control.
• Scale with ease: As your organization grows, new sites and endpoints can be added without re-architecting the entire network.

This software-defined approach gives IT teams more speed, flexibility, and resilience than traditional networking models can offer.

Built on the strength of Flexential Fabric

Interconnection Mesh extends the capabilities of Flexential Fabric, our nationwide, software-defined interconnection platform that already powers services like IP Bandwidth and Data Center Interconnect.

By combining those capabilities with the dynamic control of mesh networking, customers gain a new level of interconnection agility across the Flexential FlexAnywhere® Platform, which integrates colocation, cloud, data protection, and professional services within a unified ecosystem.

This means your entire IT footprint—across data centers, public clouds, private clouds, and edge locations—can operate as one interconnected fabric.

Innovation that scales with you

Enterprises today need infrastructure that can keep pace with change, without requiring constant reinvention. Interconnection Mesh is built to scale as your digital ambitions grow, providing:

• Speed to deploy. Create and modify connections in minutes instead of days or weeks.
• Operational simplicity. Centralized visibility reduces management overhead and human error.
• Resiliency and redundancy. The mesh topology removes single points of failure and supports diverse routing paths for uptime assurance.
• Cost efficiency. Fewer ports, less complexity, and reduced manual provisioning all lead to measurable savings.

It’s a future-ready foundation that helps businesses move faster while maintaining the control and performance their workloads demand.

A milestone in connectivity evolution

The launch of Interconnection Mesh on Flexential Fabric underscores our ongoing investment in software-defined, automated infrastructure that supports customer agility. It follows recent milestones such as:

• Expanding access to network-as-a-service (NaaS) through our partnership with Lumen Technologies.
• Strengthening global connectivity with initiatives like the Bifrost subsea cable system, which links North America and Asia.
• Continuing development of advanced capabilities across our data center and interconnection portfolio, serving enterprises that rely on high-performance hybrid environments.

Together, these efforts advance our vision for interconnection everywhere, so customers can innovate anywhere.

Why it matters now

As organizations adopt AI, edge computing, and hybrid multicloud architectures, the demand for reliable, flexible interconnection has never been higher. Applications demand low latency, rapid data movement, and dynamic scalability—requirements that static, hardware-bound networks simply can’t meet.

Flexential Interconnection Mesh bridges that gap. Whether you’re linking colocation facilities, hybrid clouds, or disaster recovery environments, it empowers your team to orchestrate connectivity in real time and on your terms.
