When should we choose direct cross-connects versus software-defined interconnection?

Direct cross-connects are the right choice for high-volume, predictable traffic flows where the connection will be in place for years and consistency is critical. Software-defined interconnection makes more sense when traffic patterns are variable, you need short-term connectivity to many endpoints, or you want to provision and scale links programmatically. Most mature interconnection strategies use both depending on the use case.
