Cloud Data Centers are Bursting with Connectivity

What happens when clouds communicate with each other? What if you need to tap into public clouds to meet sudden surge in demand? The provisioning of bandwidth is becoming as fluid as the need for bandwidth. This new capability of Cloud interconnectivity is becoming pervasive for cloud providers both private and public.

Companies can leverage cloud interconnectivity with greater efficiency, and tap into the fabric of cloud infrastructures. This is more commonly referred to as Elastic Cloud Connectivity. Having the ability to instantly connect to public cloud services like Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud Platform and Office 365 are essential to success within the ecosystem of a Cloud Data Center.

What is Elastic Cloud Connectivity?

Let’s say you run a business that’s seasonal, and even regional, with huge fluctuating demands for bandwidth. You need a Cloud Data Center offering Elastic Cloud Connectivity allowing you to ramp up or down from 50 Mbps to 10 Gps in less than a minute. Virtually real time. It’s as simple as flipping a switch. Use only what you need and pay for only what you use. It’s called usage-based pricing, and it can help you reduce costs like never before.

You get to reduce bandwidth costs. You get consistent network performance. You get elasticity and flexibility. You get the idea.

Cast a huge net.

Cloud Data Centers need to reach a multitude of providers. The more connected, the more efficient. Imagine if you could connect to more than 250 service providers, clouds and enterprises. You would be able to burst into a public cloud when demand spikes, back up data between two core facilities, and avoid spending capital that can be used for business growth.
When you hear about Cloud Connectivity Enablement, think about the ability to deliver quick-to-provision, seamless and easy-to-use cloud access to, from and between data centers in the United States and around the world.
