Carrier neutrality is one of the factors with the biggest impact on the cost, resilience and freedom of an infrastructure project.
Carrier neutrality, in one sentence
A Carrier Neutral data center does not belong to any telecommunications operator and lets its clients connect with the provider they choose, or several at once.
Why it matters
In a data center tied to a single operator, the client is locked into its prices and terms. Neutrality changes that equation:
- Freedom of choice: contract the operator that best fits each service.
- Resilience: combining several operators removes single points of failure.
- Cost: competition between providers works in your favour.
The Tedra case
The LE01 data center in León is the first commercial Carrier Neutral data center in Castile and León. Together with our RIPE NCC membership and DE-CIX partnership, this gives our clients connectivity freedom that is uncommon outside the major hubs.
