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.
Providers not currently on-net can be brought into the facility, subject to their own build timeframes.
$0 to set up. $70 a month.
Cross connects carry no setup fee.
Providers reachable by cross connect
Providers not listed can be brought into the facility. Lead time is determined by the provider's own build.
Cross connects
Single-mode fibre run between racks within the facility, terminated at both ends. Cross connects are single-mode fibre only — copper cross connects are not offered, and your equipment must be able to terminate 1 Gbps SMOF.
| Item | Setup (ex GST) | Monthly (ex GST) | Basis |
|---|---|---|---|
| Structured cabling, rack to carrier room | $0 | Included | No build or installation charge |
| First cross connect with a colocation rack | $0 | Included | One per rack |
| Additional cross connect — fibre (SMOF) | $0 | $70/mth | Per connection, per month |
Ordering process
What carrier neutrality means here
Provider choice
Order from any of the thirteen providers on-net, or bring in one that is not. Caznet transit is optional.
Diverse building entries
The building has two separate entries, front and rear, with independent fibre paths running through it. A carrier can deliver two services to your rack on physically separate paths, rather than two circuits sharing a single point of entry.
Path diversity
Providers terminating on separate infrastructure within the facility support genuinely diverse services. Diverse circuits ordered from a single carrier may still share infrastructure upstream of the building.
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
Private connections to the major cloud providers, delivered from your rack rather than across the public internet.
Dedicated private circuit to AWS. Consistent throughput, lower latency than internet-based access, and predictable data transfer charges.
Private connection to Microsoft Azure for hybrid workloads, Microsoft 365 data flows and Azure Virtual Desktop traffic.
Private connectivity to Google Cloud for GCP workloads, BigQuery and Cloud Storage.
Bandwidth and cloud region determine the design.
Three ways to take connectivity
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.
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.
Caznet-delivered
Rack space, internet and private WAN on a single invoice. Optional.
Frequently asked questions
-
Telstra, Optus, Caznet, Colocity, Vocus, TPG, Aussie Broadband, Falcore, SABRENet, Megaport, IX Australia, EdgeIX and Host Universal. Each is reachable from your rack by single-mode fibre cross connect — copper cross connects are not offered.
-
One cross connect is included with every colocation rack. Additional cross connects are $70 per month each, ex GST, with no setup charge. All cross connects are single-mode fibre — copper is not offered.
-
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. Lead time is set by that provider's own build, and should be established before committing to a service agreement.
-
No. Connectivity can be taken from Caznet, from any other carrier on-net, or from a provider brought into the facility.
