Frequently Asked Questions

Cloud Connect

  • Cloud Connect is a Layer 2 private network service that establishes a dedicated, secure connection between your on-premises infrastructure (e.g., data centers) and public cloud providers (e.g., AWS, Azure). Unlike public internet links, it bypasses the public internet for consistent performance and reduced latency.

  • Secure Data Transfer: Move large volumes of data (e.g., backups, analytics) between your premises and cloud providers without exposing traffic to the public internet.

    Optimize Costs: Significant cost savings on data transfer, especially for organisations with large volumes of data moving between on-premise networks and cloud.

  • Low Latency: Guaranteed latency <30ms, critical for real-time applications (e.g., VoIP, live analytics).
    Enhanced Security: Traffic is isolated from public internet threats.
    Cost Efficiency: Lower data egress charges vs. Direct Internet Access (DIA).
    Reliability: SLAs up to 99.99% uptime.

  • Enterprises with:

    • Hybrid cloud environments requiring private connectivity.
    • Bandwidth-intensive workloads (e.g., video rendering, AI/ML).
    • Compliance needs (e.g., RMIT, HIPAA) for secure data transfers.


    Independent Software Vendors (ISVs): Deliver SaaS applications with guaranteed performance.

  • Bandwidth: 100Mbps to 10Gbps (scalable).
    SLAs: 99.7% (standard) to 99.99% (premium).

    • Hybrid Cloud Deployment: Extend your corporate network to Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC).
    • Cost Savings: Reduce AWS data transfer fees by up to 50% compared to internet-based connections.
    • Consistent Performance: Dedicated bandwidth for predictable throughput.
    • Enhanced Security: Private connectivity minimizes exposure to DDoS attacks.
    • Global Reach: Access AWS regions worldwide through AWS Direct Connect locations.

     

    • Organizations using AWS-native workloads (e.g., SAP on EC2, real-time databases).
    • Businesses requiring low-latency access to AWS services (e.g., financial trading platforms, anti-money laundering systems).
    • Enterprises with hybrid architectures needing regulatory compliant secure, high-volume data transfers.
  • Yes. AWS Direct Connect supports virtual interfaces (VIFs):

    • Public VIF: Access AWS public services (e.g., S3, DynamoDB) via public IP.
    • Private VIF: Connect to Amazon VPC resources (e.g., EC2 instances) using private IP addresses.
    • Transit VIF: (Optional) Connect to multiple VPCs across AWS accounts.
