Lumen® Ethernet Fabric Connect

Connect data centers, clouds and sites with SLA-backed Layer 2 Ethernet. Provision quickly, scale bandwidth on demand and simplify multicloud networking.

Overview

Enterprises are moving data and workloads across multiple clouds, data centers and distributed locations. But traditional networking can be slow to provision, difficult to scale and costly to operate. Lumen® Ethernet Fabric Connect provides private Layer 2 Ethernet connectivity with SLA-backed performance and a cloud-like experience via Lumen Connect and APIs—so you can provision connections on demand, adjust bandwidth as needs change and simplify multicloud networking.

 

  • Seamless private connectivity between data centers, clouds and enterprise locations
  • On-demand provisioning and elastic bandwidth to align capacity with business demand
  • Private, SLA-backed Ethernet services to support predictable performance and governance

FAQ

It is a private, SLA-backed Layer 2 Ethernet solution that connects data centers, cloud providers and enterprise locations with on-demand provisioning and scalable bandwidth.

It helps reduce multicloud complexity, maximize performance and reliability compared to public internet paths, and speed up deployment of private connectivity between sites, clouds and data centers.

Common use cases include data center-to-data center connectivity, data center-to-cloud on-ramps, premises-to-cloud/data center connectivity and premises-to-premises networking.

Ethernet Fabric Connect supports direct cloud connectivity to major providers including AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud and Oracle. Other providers may be available—confirm during design.

Connections can be provisioned and changed with a cloud-like experience through a self-service portal or APIs, helping you respond faster as requirements evolve.

Bandwidth options range from 50 Mbps to 100 Gbps, with readiness for 400 Gbps as needs grow.

Yes. Traffic stays on private Layer 2 Ethernet connectivity with SLA-backed service, supporting stronger data protection and governance than public internet-based approaches.

Public internet paths can introduce variability, latency and security risks. Ethernet Fabric Connect provides private connectivity designed for more predictable performance and control.

Yes. It is designed for high-capacity transport that supports AI modeling, training and inference, analytics, and real-time data movement across hybrid environments.
