Observations since last summit
•As a industry we seem to like the concepts ecosystems but not sure this is resinating with enough value to buyers in the market.
•Ecosystems Models still largely immature
• We still talk and sell power and cooling
•Competitive market and availability of space has driven down prices (good for buyers)
•Growing trend of “Interconnect” offers on the market.
•Emergence of growing understanding of the value private connectivity into SaaS and other platforms
•A race is on to establish the power / value of your ecosystem as the primary means to sell DC space and services.
•Who will be the winner is unclear – the telco, the DC specialist or the new breed of business creating the enablement for connectivity.

PEN – The Network of the Future
PEN, built on Software Defined Networking (SDN) technologies utilizes OpenFlow – an open-source protocol, which deliver SDN capabilities from the top of the rack to the international backbone. It also builds flexibility and intelligence into the network across Pacnet infrastructure.
PEN is a platform enabling Customers to build network services (domestically and internationally) based on their performance and quality of service requirements.
PEN enables customers to dynamically build a network with a high level of control and flexibility.
The Power to Network the Way YOU WANT IT!
PEN Brings Cloud Provisioning to the Network
With PEN, Provisioning time is measured by in minutes rather than weeks
In PEN web-based GUI, Customers dynamically provision network services between two locations whenever they are needed
Customers can also make use of PEN platform to make changes such as bandwidth upgrade and extend contract term whenever they are required1 minute 1 minute 5 minutes 2 minutes
Select Location Select Switch Port Build Flow Provision Flow
Provisioning can be done in Minutes instead of Days!
Agile Deployment• Customers cannot wait for 2-
16 weeks for network provisioning
• Business need to define network characteristics the same way they do compute
Scalable Network• Bandwidth
Requirements are always changing
Breaking The Walls• Data needs to be
reachable everywhere• Allowing business to
share data

Use Case – Techno
Techno Group
The Techno Group, one of Australia’s leading systems integrators, is using PEN for its disaster recovery operation. It offers private cloud services hosted out of data centers in Melbourne and Sydney for clients throughout Australia and the wider Asia-Pacific region.
Prior to taking up PEN Techno Group used a permanent connection for its disaster replication requirements. It carried traffic only during disaster recovery, but incurred the same fixed bandwidth cost, 24 hours every day. With PEN, Techno Group is now able to provision network services between two locations in minutes via the PEN online portal.
The Techno Group is also using PEN to support design and printing companies that need to send large files across continents. The Techno Group is only billed according to the amount, quality and duration of its network usage while at the same time benefitting from industry-leading SLAs and secure private network.
