With Cross Connects, Don’t Forget to Read the Fine Print

Looking for more connections? No matter who your data center services provider is, you’ll need to find a way to physically connect with the partners and services you need to make your operations work.

Before you make the jump, however, remember: not all cross connects are created equal. The physical cable only accounts for part of the equation. In seeking more connections, we urge you not to forget to read the fine print.

At Telx, a cross connect is much more than a physical connection. The true value comes not just from the physical cable, but also from everything else that’s included when you leverage our interconnection solutions to help your business. Read our fine print, and you’ll find that our cross connects are backed by:

You’ll have access not just to cross connects, but also our entire connection portfolio, which better positions your business for success.

Like most other things in life, with a cross connect, you get what you pay for! Free interconnection solutions may seem enticing, but they will not bring you the same level of value as a Telx cross connect. Let Telx help launch your business to the next level.

So don’t brush off the fine print. Often, a connection is more than just a connection.
