Data center interconnects play an increasingly vital role in modern network infrastructure, as the demand for high-bandwidth, low-latency connections continues to grow. According to MarketsandMarkets, the global data center interconnect market is expected to grow 14.5% by 2026, driven by the expansion of cloud computing, edge deployments, and hybrid IT environments. 

Acting as a dedicated high-speed link between data centers, cloud providers, and enterprise locations within a metropolitan area, Metro Transport enables seamless data transfer to ensure critical workloads, applications, and services maintain business continuity and operational efficiency. 

This post will explore Evocative’s Metro Transport service and its benefits for businesses that require fast, secure, and scalable connectivity within a metro. 

Why Metro Transport? 

Without a reliable and efficient network transport solution, organizations risk experiencing latency issues, data bottlenecks, and unpredictable performance. Whether you’re managing workloads across multiple metro areas or need cost-effective, low-latency connections to cloud, choosing the right transport solution is essential. 

With Metro Transport in the picture, organizations can leverage a purpose-built network solution designed to support enterprises that require: 

• Low-latency connectivity between data centers, cloud providers, and enterprise locations. 

• High-capacity transport with bandwidth options ranging from 1 Gbps to 100 Gbps. 

• Diverse and redundant connectivity to ensure business continuity and eliminate single points of failure. 

• Flexible networking solutions, including unprotected or diverse path configurations to meet different business requirements. 

By leveraging a network of strategically located data centers and Points of Presence (PoPs), Evocative’s Metro Transport solutions provide enterprises with robust, high-performance connectivity designed for today’s most demanding workloads. 

How Businesses Can Use Metro Transport 

Metro Transport services are ideal for various use cases, including: 

• Data Center Interconnect (DCI): Businesses with multiple colocation or on-premises data centers within the same metro area can use Metro DCI to synchronize workloads between facilities. This is essential for organizations managing distributed computing environments, hybrid cloud deployments, and large-scale storage replication. 

• Cloud On-Ramps: Many enterprises rely on public cloud services like AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud but face performance issues when accessing them via the public internet. Metro DCI provides dedicated, direct cloud connections, ensuring low-latency, high-bandwidth access to cloud workloads while improving security and reducing network congestion. 

• Enterprise WAN Expansion: Growing businesses often need to connect office locations, remote branches, or edge computing sites to central data hubs within a metro area. Metro DCI enables fast, secure data exchange across these locations, ensuring reliable communication, application performance, and real-time collaboration across a distributed workforce. 

• Disaster Recovery & Business Continuity: Redundant network paths are critical for minimizing downtime and ensuring failover readiness in the event of an outage. Metro DCI provides high-speed, low-latency connectivity between primary and backup data centers, supporting data synchronization, failover systems, and disaster recovery strategies. Businesses can configure replication and backup policies based on their operational needs, ensuring critical applications remain accessible during disruptions.
