On Demand APIs
Colt On Demand is a true game changer for businesses that require fully flexible connectivity solutions between data centres, cloud service providers, and enterprise buildings. With our feature-rich self-service portal and APIs, you can gain control over your network while benefiting from real-time service provisioning and flexible commercial models.
Key Features
Ethernet
Create an Ethernet connection using our APIs to over 31,000+ enterprise buildings in Europe and APAC that support any on-net or near-net location, as well as over 1000+ data centres in Europe, APAC, and the US, of which over 200+ support real-time delivery.
Cloud
Connect to the cloud via APIs from data centres and enterprise buildings with both API enabled hosted connectivity and dedicated port connectivity, to CSPs including Microsoft Azure, ExpressRoute, Amazon Web Services Direct Connect, Google Cloud Partner Interconnect, Equinix Fabric, IBM Direct Link, and Oracle FastConnect.
Internet Access
IP Access on Demand enables flexible connectivity to the public internet from data centres and enterprise buildings. Customers benefit from Colt's carrier-grade internet access service, which includes On Demand features like flexible commercials and real-time upgrades, which were previously only available in Europe up to 1Gbps.
Ports
Ports are a separate component in the On Demand model, as opposed to the traditional data networking model, where ports are an integral part of a circuit connection. Using VLAN segregation, all On Demand ports can support multiple service types, such as Multicloud, NNI for Ethernet Virtual Private Line, Internet access, and data centre connections
Connections
Connections are built upon one or more On Demand ports. On Demand ports can be dynamically configured to support either Ethernet Private Line ("point to point") or Ethernet Virtual Private Line ("hub and spoke") services through transparent handover.
Flex Bandwidth
Once your connections are created, you can dynamically scale your “flex” contract in line with your business requirements.
