Cloud connection: Public Internet vs. dedicated cloud access

Trusted Advisor for IT & Telecommunications Sourcing

Cloud connection Public Internet or dedicated access

When direct cloud access makes the difference

Many companies reach their limits when it comes to cloud access via the public internet. Dedicated connections to Azure, AWS, Google and more deliver security, predictable performance and stable accessibility.

In a nutshell:

Security: Private lines instead of shared paths
Performance: Guaranteed bandwidth and predictable latency
Stability: Avoiding bottlenecks and peering problems
Availability: Binding service levels for critical workloads
Multi Cloud: Direct connections to leading platforms

SAVECALL shows options and costs for direct cloud access and finds the right connection for your locations.

The question: Where does Internet access limit you today with cloud workloads and which application benefits first from dedicated access?

Access to the public cloud via the internet can be a problem for companies, not least for security and performance reasons. Dedicated cloud access can be the right solution here. The use of public cloud services from major providers such as Microsoft or Amazon by companies of all sizes and industries continues to increase. Until now, access to the large cloud platforms has been via the public internet. This type of access is not sufficient for many companies in terms of security, performance and reliability.

Where the problems lie

The reason for the concerns of many companies lies in the way in which the data packages reach the cloud provider.

The conventional route of the data packets to the cloud provider Problems can arise both in the backbones of the respective providers and in the peering between the providers. The data destined for the cloud must therefore share the bandwidth with all the other data, such as YouTube or mail traffic. It is particularly problematic if the internet provider does not peer directly with the cloud provider. The data is then routed via other peerings or via an Internet exchange node (e.g. DECX). Bottlenecks can always occur here.

Accessibility of major providers via dedicated cloud access

Due to the reasons mentioned above, more and more companies are switching to a dedicated connection. All major cloud providers such as Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure and Microsoft Office 365, Google, VMware and Softlayer can now be accessed via Dedicated Cloud Access.

What are the advantages?

The advantages of Dedicated Cloud Access over a connection via the public Internet are manifold.

Private connection: By using dedicated connections, users receive access that is exclusively available to them. The bandwidth does not have to be shared with anyone.
As the cloud platforms are not connected via the public Internet, but via private connections, the customer receives a significantly higher standard of security.
Speed and performance: Internet latency can fluctuate due to the vulnerabilities associated with best effort service. With a dedicated connection, customers get guaranteed speeds.
