<div dir="ltr">Yes DG... one of the services I recently arranged for an ISP is capacity with another ISP over Megaport, but the VxC is not up.<div><br></div><div>So what the deal was.. and I am happy to give specifics without saying who..</div>
<div><br></div><div>$250/month holding fee which included pre-configuration such as routes, VLANs, BGP, ACL's, upstream announces all ready, but VxC is not up or configured (Megaport will hopefully be doing connections at some point which can be in 'sleep mode' but configured and presumably not being charged). The capacity was for 100mb and the price was charged at $2.50 per Mb per day.</div>
<div><br></div><div>The whole point of this was as emergency capacity with no term involved. So yes, if you used it you'd be paying $75/mb/month - but the benefit of being able to bring up another provider on demand within minutes is very valuable.</div>
<div><br></div><div>These kinds of creative offerings are what excites me about the future of VxC. At the moment you wouldn't build a permanent core on a VxC, but with multiple fabrics combined with physical infrastructure, I could see this as a very viable method to building a network in the next year or two.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Combine that with things like Cisco's InterCloud where you may be able to get access to capacity for Cisco technology from layer 3 functionality, LNS, CGN, firewalls, etc etc all from a X-Connect (virtual or otherwise). I am sure that other vendors will also be paying close attention to what Cisco offers and figuring out how to 'on demand' their kit/technology/products.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I wonder when I will be able to build a small ISP, not VISP as such, but ISPaaS using multiple IaaS providers, wholesalers without having any physical infrastructure whatsoever.</div></div><div class="gmail_extra">
