Cerberus has been delivering high performance connectivity and cloud services since 2006. By joining LINX early in their network journey, they’ve been able to enhance resilience, optimise performance and scale to meeting growing customer demands.
As an independent UK provider, they combine technical depth with a clear focus on reliability, security and service quality. From full-fibre networks to managed cloud, voice and cyber security solutions, Cerberus help organisations modernise their infrastructure and stay resilient.
Establishing the Groundwork for Scalable Connectivity
Cerberus are currently completing the migration from legacy copper services to full fibre ahead of the UK’s switch off, but its long term focus is firmly on supporting faster speeds and rising customer demand.
To achieve this, Cerberus operates its own network end-to-end, giving the team full control over resilience, routing and performance. As bandwidth requirements grow, they’re ensuring infrastructure stays ahead of demand, delivering high quality experiences for their customers.
To maintain this level of performance and continue optimising traffic flows as they grow, the right partnerships are essential, and this is where LINX plays a crucial role.
Why Cerberus Selected LINX for Interconnection
As Cerberus built its own network, ensuring traffic always took the most efficient and reliable path became essential. Relying on alternative traffic routes can lead to unpredictable routing, increased latency and limited visibility when issues arise, all factors that can directly impact customer experience.
LINX provided a clear solution. By joining early in their network journey, Cerberus gained direct access to a wide peering ecosystem of major content, cloud and service networks. This enabled faster, more efficient traffic exchange, improved performance and a cost-effective way to reach the destinations their customers depend on.
“There is no life before LINX, it’s been central to our network from the very beginning” Erin Carlson, Operations Director, Cerberus Networks
As their requirements have evolved, scaling has remained just as straightforward, upgrading ports, increasing bandwidth, and adopting additional services without disruption.
Today, LINX underpins key elements of Cerberus’ network strategy, enabling access to valuable peers, improved performance, and greater cost efficiency. By connecting to LINX across both LON1 and LON2, Cerberus benefits from geographic diversity, physical redundancy, and local traffic routing. Delivering the high-reliability, low-latency connectivity their customers expect.
Strengthening Connections for the Future
Cerberus plans to scale its port capacities over time to meet growing customer demand for higher speeds, taking advantage of the flexible options LINX provides such as 100GE partial and shared ports. At the same time, the company has strengthened its cloud connectivity by adopting Azure Express Path through LINX.
With traffic volumes increasing and more customers coming online, LINX remains a trusted partner, helping Cerberus maintain fast, reliable, and efficient connectivity.
As a member owned organisation focused on performance, transparency, and value, LINX continues to deliver services shaped around member needs.
