What Is a Carrier-Neutral Data Center?

---

When considering a data center, there are many options to think about, but one that should be looked at is whether or not the data center is carrier neutral. A carrier-neutral data center offers multiple options for connectivity, whereas a non-carrier-neutral data center only has one option.

Here are some reasons your business in Orlando, Space Coast, Tampa, and other Florida areas should consider using a carrier-neutral data center for your colocation provider.

Why Is Carrier Neutrality Important?

Carrier neutrality is very important to a data center customer, as it gives options for blended connectivity. A non-carrier-neutral data center only leaves you with one service option and limited connectivity options. With a carrier-neutral data center, the business gets several advantages over a non-carrier-neutral data center.

Advantages of Using Carrier-Neutral Data Centers

Using a carrier-neutral data center has many advantages, including:

• It is cost-efficient to the consumer
• Offers increased flexibility
• More competition means there is a better rate negotiating position
• More capability for the data center to interconnect
• Reduces the risk of downtime as multiple connectivity options can step in should the first one fail for any reason
• Redundancy
• Increased scalability means that depending on the business needs, you can easily extend your network and/or grow it faster
• The more carriers at a facility means it’s better for the overall ecosystem
