DynamicLink brings network connectivity, security, observability, and automation into a single self-service platform. Enterprises can provision and scale supported connectivity services in minutes, adjust bandwidth and configurations as needs change, and monitor network and application performance without relying on traditional ticket-driven workflows. DynamicLink embeds AI into network operations through DashAI, a conversational assistant that lets enterprises provision, scale, and manage connectivity using natural language. DashAI uses Retrieval-Augmented Generation to ground responses in Zayo's DynamicLink knowledge base and confirms user intent before executing changes.
DynamicLink stands apart in the NaaS market as the first solution that aligns with the definition of a true NaaS offering, providing a standardized, automated, self-service platform with dynamic scaling. It spans Zayo's entire network footprint of 90,000 enterprise locations and 1,700+ data centers in North America. Built-in network security includes DDoS protection, next-generation firewall, web filtering, and Zero Trust Network Access. Full-stack observability delivers end-to-end visibility across network and application performance, while real-time automation and control enable provisioning and scaling without tickets or delays.
"IT teams are being asked to support businesses that are changing quickly, and the network has to be able to keep up. We built DynamicLink to give IT teams more control over their networks so they can scale, adjust and respond as their needs change without adding more manual work," said Chris Ranalli, Chief Revenue Officer for Enterprise at Zayo. "For our customers, the real value is having the visibility and flexibility to make changes when the business needs them. And seeing DynamicLink recognized by CRN puts a spotlight on the kind of innovation enterprises need now: technology that gives them more control and flexibility without making the network harder to manage."
