The digital landscape is evolving at a rapid pace, and businesses are constantly seeking agile, high-performance connectivity solutions to stay ahead. Recognising this, data centres are shifting beyond their traditional role of offering just space and power. Today, they must deliver real-time access to clouds, other data centres, and applications.
Platforms like Console Connect make this possible by enabling data centres to offer seamless, on-demand connectivity without the cost or complexity of major infrastructure buildouts. The result is greater flexibility, scalability, and performance, all available in just a few clicks. A great example of this evolution is how Digital Realty has extended its ServiceFabric™ offering in partnership with Console Connect.
Extending ServiceFabric™ with Console Connect
ServiceFabric™ is Digital Realty’s interconnection and orchestration platform, designed to help customers reach their critical infrastructure, cloud, and edge environments through a unified experience.
To expand the reach and capability of ServiceFabric™, Digital Realty has integrated further with the Console Connect platform through a seamless API integration, enabling customers to set up Console Connect services via ServiceFabric™. This has unlocked:
- Access to 100+ third-party data centres
- 75+ new cloud on-ramps around the world
- Fully automated provisioning via Console Connect’s Layer 2 and Layer 3 services
- The ability to interconnect across locations in minutes instead of days or weeks
The API integration significantly boosts the flexibility and coverage of ServiceFabric™, enabling Digital Realty to offer richer, more dynamic connectivity options to its customers — globally and on demand.
What this means for ServiceFabric™ customers
By building on Console Connect, ServiceFabric™ customers now benefit from:
- Greater reach, connecting to more clouds, partners, and geographies
- Faster time-to-value, with instant provisioning through a self-service portal or API
- More agile hybrid and multi-cloud architectures, thanks to automated, high-performance connectivity
- Optimised support for AI and edge workloads, requiring low latency and high bandwidth
In partnership, Console Connect and Digital Realty are delivering the kind of agile, globally connected experience enterprises now expect from modern infrastructure providers. This is exemplified by Kenny Wong, Technical Consultant at Azonne, who shared,
Console Connect and Digital Realty offered Azonne a seamless, one-stop solution for our networking needs. Setting up Console Connect via a ServiceFabric™ port at our existing data center location was incredibly easy, and this collaboration has enabled us to interconnect effortlessly with other data center locations, internet exchanges, and office sites across Asia."
