The blog post discusses the innovative approach taken by Zayo’s DynamicLink service, which eliminates the need for heavy on-premise equipment by utilizing lightweight demarcation devices at customer locations. These devices serve as clean handoff points without any processing logic, with all network services and management handled by Zayo’s infrastructure.
One of the key features of DynamicLink is its service model, which revolves around port-based pricing. Customers can purchase ports at various locations where connectivity is required, such as headquarters, branch offices, and colocation facilities. Each port offers flexible capacity that can be allocated to different services, allowing for efficient resource utilization and easy reconfiguration through a self-service portal.
Previously, organizations had to order separate services for dedicated internet access, point-to-point Ethernet connections, and other network functions, each requiring manual provisioning and fixed configurations. With DynamicLink, customers can utilize a single port for multiple functions simultaneously, streamlining the process and providing greater flexibility in managing their network connectivity needs.
