Leaseweb’s Cloud Connect provides secure, fast, and cost-effective connectivity to public cloud providers from selected Leaseweb Data Centers.
Description
Cloud Connect is a connectivity service which offers fast and secure connectivity to the Public Cloud providers from selected Leaseweb Data Centers.
The service is based on Megaport’s Software Defined Network (SDN) technology and their cloud interconnection capabilities. Megaport provides the physical connection and transport from a Leaseweb Data Center to Public Cloud provider edge locations.
Leaseweb provides the routing services required to connect with a Public Cloud provider. The routing services are provided by our Cloud Connect router. In the Leaseweb Data Centers where Cloud Connect is available, there is a Cloud Connect router which is connected to Megaport and the Leaseweb Private Network.
Currently, the Private Network offers Data Center wide layer2 connectivity between Leaseweb services (Dedicated Servers in Dedicated and/or Shared Racks, Colocation racks, Leaseweb Public Cloud, Elastic Compute and VMware vCloud) by allocating a single VLAN per customer. As the purpose is to offer secure connectivity to the Public Cloud providers, Cloud Connect is delivered on top of the existing Private Network infrastructure of a Data Centers.
Connection speeds range from 100Mbps to 10Gbps with the possibility to order with full network redundancy over two diverse paths between Leaseweb and the Public Cloud provider.
When choosing Cloud Connect Redundancy, your services will be connected via two diverse paths and independent devices to the hyperscaler, ensuring maximum availability and reliability.
Cloud Connect initially provides private connectivity to AWS, Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure with more Public Cloud providers to be added in the future.
The benefits of using Cloud Connect to access your VPC in AWS and/or Google Cloud or Azure include:
- Security and higher performance
- Savings on egress traffic costs from your VPC network to your Leaseweb services
- Scalable connectivity
- Reliable direct connection to the Public Cloud providers
