It has now expanded its connection options from 1Gbps and 10Gbps to 100Gbps. The expansion will enable high availability and lower latency access to the biggest and intensive applications like blockchain, augmented reality, the internet of things, virtual reality, etc.
The access to 100Gbps ports will help improve cost, performance, and security in the Portland Edge Data Center.
