How do we plan for redundancy in a cross-connect architecture?

Real redundancy means diverse physical paths, diverse providers, and diverse hardware on both ends of the connection, not just two cables ordered from the same carrier. The right design typically uses cross-connects to at least two distinct carriers, separate meet-me rooms where the facility supports it, and active monitoring to detect path-level failures. The cost is meaningfully higher than a single connection, but it is the only way to keep critical workloads online during a carrier outage.
