Data Center Interconnect can end the survival of smaller ISPs, supplanted by the use of the IXP as the centers of connection. Data Center Interconnect is quite hot topic at this moment this article is published. We talked about IXP or Internet Exchange Point. The market for Data Center Interconnect is experiencing an explosive growth, but this boom will bring serious problems for the ISP causing them to shut down.
Data Center Interconnect : Why it Can Bring Farewell to the Smaller ISPs
The providers of content, the colocation and hosting service providers are looking at the ways to connect directly with users in order to provide the requested data with increasingly lower delays, excellent performance and access from the everywhere. This change is due to the new rules that cloud computing, mobile devices and the continuous sharing of multimedia content are imposing on the market, thereby creating a new need for the Internet and Web.
And all this organized at the level of the data center is causing some controversy on net from a neutral point and there are issues related to the payment of peering agreements. In addition to the growth on a global scale and long the national and international backbone, the market for Data Center Interconnect seems to want to build their own link layer also at the metropolitan level, especially for all the hosting and colocation provider that in time they see the business grow tied their own data center. The force that was driving providers to organize links between enterprises and data centers would be the same with IXP/Internet Exchange Point, which we have discussed before.

Technologies for the optimization of network traffic, transmission and caching content is the highest preference now, scalability, properties of routing, dynamic on demand bandwidth and the new safety initiatives excite the network operators and thus contribute to the further growth of the Data Center Interconnect Market.
