Connectivity marketplace and circuit management. Discover providers, manage circuits, and streamline network procurement.
What It Is
Carrier Exchange is the connectivity and network procurement platform. It provides a marketplace for discovering connectivity providers, managing circuits, and streamlining the procurement of cross-connects, wavelengths, and other network services. Data center operators and tenants use Carrier Exchange to find providers, compare offerings, and track circuit lifecycle.
The platform supports circuit inventory, provider directories, and procurement workflows. It complements ComputeComplete for power and connectivity planning and integrates with facility and tenant workflows.
Why It Matters
Connectivity procurement is complex. Multiple providers, varying service types, and fragmented ordering processes create friction. Carrier Exchange centralizes discovery and management, reducing time-to-connect and improving visibility into circuit inventory and costs.
