Digital infrastructure strategies are no longer confined to static, market-bound connections. Today’s enterprises demand agility – the ability to dynamically connect across geographies, scale with demand and adapt network architecture without the friction of traditional provisioning. At the heart of this transformation is software-defined interconnection: a model that empowers organizations to create, manage and evolve their connectivity fabric in real time.
At Cologix, we’re proud to introduce a powerful new capability within Access Marketplace: customers can now create Layer 2 virtual connections between any Cologix U.S. market. This enhancement goes beyond local interconnection, unlocking the full value of your infrastructure across our U.S. national footprint.
Whether you’re building a distributed multicloud architecture, optimizing network efficiency or expanding partner connectivity across regions, Access Marketplace delivers the flexibility and speed needed to scale without compromise.
This is interconnection on your terms. Dynamically provisioned. Seamlessly managed. Ready when you are.
What Are Virtual Connections?
With Access Marketplace, virtual connections are secure, Layer 2, software-defined interconnections between any two Cologix U.S. markets. These direct, private connections are provisioned entirely through InLogix, the Cologix customer portal – eliminating the need for third-party contracts or delays from physical cross connects.
These connections offer private, secure paths that allow teams to scale infrastructure, reduce cost and expand reach in minutes.
Why It Matters: Modern Interconnection, Built for Business
Today’s infrastructure must meet modern expectations:
- On-demand, agile provisioning
- Access to a diverse ecosystem of services and providers
- Carrier- and cloud-neutral flexibility
- Intuitive, software-defined management through a unified portal
With Access Marketplace, Cologix delivers all of this in a platform tailored for regional reach, simplified self-service and seamless integration with the Cologix InLogix customer portal.
