We're going to implement another capacity upgrade between following Frankfurt sites:
- TornadoDC FRA1 - Digital Realty FRA16
- TornadoDC FRA1 - Equinix FR7
The said upgrade enhances connectivity by another 1.6 Tbps across the Frankfurt metro network based on tune-able coherent dwdm to provide sufficient future capacity for growing traffic demands in FRA, especially since we experience noticeable traffic growth compared to 6 months ago due to IP-Transit and Layer2 Transport needs.
Upgrade tasks are transparent, new wavelengths will be put into operation after light level verification. Transceivers have been ordered and are en-route to our office.

We're going to carry out physical migration of darkfiber capacity at TornadoDC FRA1 to a new building entry. The works are being carried out to further diversify network transport capacity between additional physical fibers strands.
To do the same, we will move two fiber strands across building entries in coordination with the darkfiber supplier. It's necessary to temporarily disable capacity on one Ciena based DCI unit to carry out the same, traffic on our network will be shifted onto other paths. We will proactively inform related customers using lit wavelengths at least four weeks beforehand.
