Model to monitor the circuit
* Native and non-native IP traffic on the same circuit with unique IP signaling addresses.

The centers are part of the company’s expansion of its global data center footprint, which includes the addition of more space at six existing centers in the U.S. and around the world. The centers support application services, fully managed hosting, advanced monitoring, hosted storage, colocation and other services.
