Cloud connectivity refers to the ability to establish secure, reliable connections between your network and cloud service providers (CSPs) such as AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and many more. Ensuring businesses can access cloud-based applications and resources efficiently.
What is Cloud Connectivity?
Cloud connectivity refers to the process of linking your on-premises infrastructure, or network directly to cloud service providers such as AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud and many more. These providers host computing resources, storage, and applications in their data centers and deliver them over the internet, allowing businesses to scale without investing in physical hardware. Instead of relying solely on the public internet, cloud connectivity uses dedicated, private, optimised routes to ensure faster, more secure, and more reliable access to cloud-based applications and resources.
Why Connecting Directly to the Cloud Matters
Connecting to cloud services via the public internet can introduce performance, security, and reliability challenges. When businesses rely on standard internet routes, data often travels through multiple networks, increasing latency and exposure to risks. Direct connectivity matters because it provides a faster, more secure way to access critical cloud services.
Connecting directly to cloud service providers ensures:
- Higher Performance: By avoiding multiple network hops, businesses experience lower latency and faster access to cloud applications.
- Improved Reliability: Dedicated paths provide predictable bandwidth and consistent uptime.
- Enhanced Security: Private connections keep your data away from the public internet, offering a more secure and controlled way to access cloud services.
