Low latency connectivity - Optical Connect
Business critical connectivity, low latency connections
Choosing the right type of connectivity is crucial to maintaining the efficiency of your business systems. This is why Pulsant has a range of data centre connectivity options available to connect customers to our data centres and connectivity hubs, and will work with you to find the right option that suits your needs.
When low latency and high bandwidth are required for high-performance systems, optical fibre is the only answer. Pulsant’s Optical Connect service provides low latency optical waves for the customer to “light” their desired networking protocol.
Low latency connections for optimum performance
Optical Connect provides an optical wave between Pulsant’s data centres, giving you the best possible results for latency and bandwidth. We impose no networking equipment as part of the service, so the fibre connects directly to the customer’s equipment in the data centre for maximum performance.
Optical wavelength services provide protocol transparency, low latency connections with dedicated optically isolated bandwidth and fully documented diversity between Pulsant’s data centres and points of presence.
Each customer is given a dedicated optical wave on the Pulsant-owned fibre network that connects our data centres with each other and with third-party PoPs (points of presence) for connectivity to the wider internet.

Your questions answered
Q: With Optical Connect, is my capacity guaranteed?
A: As part of the service you will receive your own optical wave and not share it with another customer. As a result, the bandwidth is solely yours.
Q: Can I select my own network protocol as part of the Optical Connect service?
A: Yes you can. Pulsant doesn’t impose a network protocol so you are able to select your own option.
Q: What redundancy options are offered as part of Optical Connect?
A: We run diverse fibre routes into most of our data centres. Both connections are active therefore that gives you flexibility in terms of management of your network loads and simplifies the configuration ensuring that there’s no failover mechanism managed by Pulsant.
