Cross Connect

IONOS Cross Connect feature helps you to establish a dedicated connection between Virtual Data Centers (VDCs) located in a specific region (location) using a private LAN. A region (location) refers to a selectable VDC location via the Cloud API or the Data Center Designer (DCD). These regions are represented in the form of codes, such as, de/fra, de/txl, es/vit etc.

Note: Cross Connect is generally available in the Frankfurt region.

Note: Cross Connect is currently in the Early Access (EA) phase in all regions except Frankfurt and is available on a restricted early access basis. To access this feature, please contact your sales representative or customer support. We recommend keeping usage and testing to non-production critical applications as there might be possibilities of data loss during the EA phase. Cross Connect is free-to-use and does not incur any additional costs. Cross Connect has its own set of limitations in the EA phase. For more information, see Limitations of Cross Connect.
