What is a Data Centre?
A Data Centre is a facility composed of networked computers that businesses use to organize storages, store data’s and disseminate a large amount of data. A Data Centre is usually considered as the heart and centre of a business. Everything circulates through the Data Centre that’s why it is very important and critical part of a business.

So what is a Data Centre Interconnect?
To explain it technically, Data Centre Interconnect is a layer-2 Ethernet based point to point connectivity product for a domestic and global data centre. It leverages the existing global footprint of PEN data centres (20) and expands our domestic footprint to 10 data centres.
Once a customer is connected to this service, they can now configure flows/virtual circuits between any DCs on-the-fly with bandwidths ranging from 1 mbps to 10Gbps, sounds great isn’t it?
Now, for you to understand it much easier, Data Centre Interconnect is actually the networking or the device that connects 2 or more Data Centres to achieve the objective of the Business. This connection enables different Data Centre to communicate, share information, and work together as one.
That’s why it is important because it enables different branches to work as one for a common objective.
