We’re excited to announce the launch of 100Gbps ports on AXON – our national software defined connectivity network. The need for low latency, high bandwidth, safe and secure connectivity has never been more important than it is today. As the AI revolution continues to pick up steam, the innovations made possible depend on reliable, high-bandwidth infrastructure that can scale immediately and exactly when you need it.
Whether you’re running data-intensive AI workloads or ensuring real-time access to critical applications across multiple locations, your network connectivity is vital to leverage the maximum capacity from your infrastructure. The release of 100Gbps AXON ports now enables lower cost, higher bandwidth connectivity to more ecosystem clouds, partners and customers with lower complexity than ever before.
As the pace of innovation accelerates with new AI capability on an almost daily basis, the need for increased network capability increases with similar speed. The introduction of 100Gbps ports further supports what matters most for organisational agility:
- Operational Certainty – A network that is always on, built for mission-critical applications.
- Accelerating Strategic Advantage – Reducing complexity so you can focus on growth and innovation.
- Being Ready for Whatever Comes Next – Scalable, flexible connectivity that adapts to your evolving demands.
Meeting the Demands of High-Traffic Workloads
Data creation and transfer volume is exploding. The transition to 100Gbps and beyond will becoming increasingly critical. AI models, high-performance computing (HPC), and digital services are pushing the limits of traditional networks. So too is the need to continue to run multiple elastic interconnected services – each interconnected to another to leverage expansive multi-cloud, multi-platform environments.
Turning Data into Intelligence
100Gbps AXON ports support all the key elements needed for successful business transformation. Reduced time to ingest AI training data, faster inference at the edge, expanded multi-cloud capability and low latency connectivity between locations all benefit from the new bandwidth options. Next generation workloads become easier to implement and manage.
Scalability Without the Headaches
The pace of innovation is accelerating wildly. Substantial increases in connectivity bandwidth are regularly required to support organisational growth. So too is rapid deployment to immediately start to realise the benefits. The AXON platform has been built with self-service, extreme flexibility in mind with no long-term contracts and a platform that can be scaled by the day by you – the user. Simply log into the platform and dynamically adjust the network as required. Add elastic cross connects, increase and decrease bandwidth or add intercapital connectivity with very little friction.
Eliminating Complexity and Reducing Costs
Many enterprises manage multiple network providers and connections to a wide variety of services. The release of high bandwidth 100Gbps ports allows for a simplified network architecture, eliminating unnecessary hardware and reducing your total cost of ownership. With comprehensive redundancy and resilience embedded natively to the AXON platform, your ability to scale quickly and reliably has never been easier.
Scale up now
Need to scale to 100Gbps connectivity in days rather than weeks? AXON enables you to leverage a wide range of ecosystem partners directly like AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Oracle Cloud, IBM Cloud and many local partners to help you grow your organisation exactly as needed.
