Carrier selection

Thirteen providers terminate at the Adelaide CBD data centre. Access to any of them is by cross connect — single-mode fibre run between your rack and theirs, within the facility. Traffic does not traverse the public internet.

Rack pricing does not vary with the provider selected, and no surcharge applies to a cross connect reaching a provider other than Caznet. Providers not currently on-net can be brought in, subject to their own build timeframes.

Ordering process

1 · Notification

Advise support@caznet.com.au of the provider, the service ordered and any reference supplied by them.

2 · Order with the provider

The service agreement for the circuit is held directly with that provider. The facility address and rack location are supplied on request.

3 · Fibre run and terminated

Fibre is run between the racks and terminated at both ends. Overall lead time is generally determined by the provider's own provisioning.

4 · Test and handover

Light is confirmed and port details supplied. Subsequent work at the rack is available via remote hands.

What carrier neutrality means here

Provider selection

Rack pricing does not vary with the provider selected. No surcharge applies to a cross connect reaching a provider other than Caznet.

Path diversity

Multiple providers terminating on separate infrastructure within the facility support genuinely diverse services. Diverse circuits ordered from a single carrier may still share infrastructure.

Provider changes

Changing provider requires a cross connect and a cutover window. Relocation of equipment is not required.

Concurrent services

Services from multiple providers can be terminated in the same rack concurrently, across separate cross connects.

Private cloud connections

Megaport is on-net at the facility. Private connections to the major cloud providers are provisioned over the Megaport platform.

AWS Direct Connect

Dedicated private circuit to AWS. Consistent throughput, lower latency than internet-based access, and predictable data transfer charges.

Azure ExpressRoute

Private connection to Microsoft Azure for hybrid workloads, Microsoft 365 data flows and Azure Virtual Desktop traffic.

Google Cloud Interconnect

Private connectivity to Google Cloud for GCP workloads, BigQuery and Cloud Storage.

Cloud connectivity is quoted per requirement

Bandwidth, cloud region and Megaport account arrangements determine the design.

Three ways to take connectivity

Rack pricing is the same in each case.

Option 1

On-net provider

Order from any provider on-net at the facility. Caznet arranges the cross connect. The service agreement is held directly with the provider.

Option 2

Provider not currently on-net

A provider not currently terminating at the facility can be brought in. Lead time is determined by the provider's own build and should be established before committing.

Option 3

Caznet-delivered

Rack space, internet and private WAN on a single invoice. The cross connect to the Caznet network is included. Optional.

Frequently asked questions

  • Telstra, Optus, Vocus, TPG, Aussie Broadband, Falcore, SABRENet, Megaport, IX Australia, EdgeIX, Host Universal, Colocity and Caznet. Each is reachable from your rack by single-mode fibre cross connect.

  • Additional fibre cross connects are $70 per month each, ex GST. One cross connect is included with every colocation rack. The cross connect to the Caznet network is included with Caznet internet services.

  • The fibre run and termination within the facility is short. Overall lead time is generally determined by the provider's own provisioning of the ordered service. Raising the cross connect request at the time the service is ordered allows both to proceed in parallel.

  • Yes. A provider not currently terminating at the facility can be brought in. Lead time is determined by the provider's own build and should be established before committing to a service agreement.

  • No. Rack pricing is the same whether connectivity is taken from Caznet, from another on-net provider, or from a provider brought into the facility.
