  • Patent number: 10275416
    Abstract: In some examples, a method includes obtaining, by a recommendation engine executing at a computing device, a list of prospective interconnection facilities administered by an interconnection facility provider and a list of prospective interconnection facility customers; identifying, by the recommendation engine, based at least in part on querying telemetry data that indicates interconnections of interconnection facility customers within the list of prospective interconnection facilities, sets of interconnection facilities from the list of prospective interconnection facilities in which respective interconnection facility customers are configured with existing interconnections; generating, by the recommendation engine and based at least in part on the list of prospective interconnection facilities, the sets of interconnection facilities, and the list of prospective interconnection facility customers, scoring data for the prospective interconnection facilities; and outputting, by the recommendation engine and f

  • Patent number: 8751323
    Abstract: A web-enabled user interface is provided to enable the carriers of private networks to interact and to offer services to one another. The web-enabled user interface is integrated to a switch fabric configured to provide interconnection services for the carriers. The web-enabled user interface is configured to enable the carriers to assign different roles to different representatives. Each of the representatives is granted certain rights and permissions by an administrator representative based on the representative's role. The web-enabled user interface is configured to present to each representative a unique interface based on their roles thus providing each representative a unique experience.

  • Patent number: 8509249
    Abstract: An Ethernet exchanger is coupled to two or more Ethernet networks to exchange information among the two or more Ethernet networks using virtual circuits. A first Ethernet network is associated with a first carrier and a first port of the Ethernet exchanger. A second Ethernet network is associated with a second carrier and a second port of the Ethernet exchanger. Network information of the first Ethernet network and network information of the second Ethernet network are provided by the respective first carrier and the second carrier and stored in a database. A virtual circuit is provisioned to interconnect the first Ethernet network and the second Ethernet network based on a partnership between the first carrier and the second carrier and based on the stored information about the first network and the second network. The virtual circuit is associated with the first port and the second port.
