Systems and methods for management of cloud exchanges

A system, comprising:

• a cloud exchange configured to provide an enterprise with a private connection to a first cloud provider and a second cloud provider, wherein a first peering agreement is established between the cloud exchange and the first cloud provider and a second peering agreement is established between the cloud exchange and the second cloud provider;
• a first application executing in the first cloud provider;
• a second application executing in the second cloud provider;
• a Path Computation Engine (PCE) configured to find a Central office Re-architected as a Data Center (CORD);
• and
• a cloud exchange management application operatively connected to the PCE and being configured to:
• receive application monitoring data for the first and second applications;
• perform traffic latency analytics using the received application monitoring data;
• determine, based on the traffic latency analytics, that at least the first peering agreement should be moved to the CORD;
• request the PCE to find the CORD that meets a required set of criteria;
• move at least the first peering agreement to be between the first cloud provider and the CORD;
• and
• forward at least a portion of the traffic originating from the first application in the first cloud provider directly via the CORD.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions for performing a method, the instructions comprising functionality for:

• receiving application monitoring data for a first application executing in a first cloud provider and a second application executing in a second cloud provider, wherein both the first and second cloud providers communication via a cloud exchange;
• performing traffic latency analytics using the received application monitoring data;
• determining, based on the traffic latency analytics, that at least one peering agreement between the first cloud provider and the cloud exchange should be moved to a Central office Re-architected as a Data Center (CORD);
• requesting a Path Computation Engine (PCE) to find the CORD that meets a required set of criteria;
• establishing a private link between the CORD and the cloud exchange;
• moving the at least one peering agreement to be between the first cloud provider and the CORD;
• and
• forwarding at least a portion of the traffic originating from the first application in the first cloud provider directly via the CORD.
