Today we'll look at AWS Direct Connect, Azure ExpressRoute, and Google Cloud Interconnect, three most popular solutions.
Compared to internet connections, private connections can often increase bandwidth throughput, reduce overall network costs, and ensure a more secure and stable network experience.
Let's go!
➡️ AWS Direct Connect
AWS has built a reputation as a robust cloud platform and attracted a large number of cloud users. With Direct Connect, you don't need to rely on local internet providers. In contrast to weakly secured public connections, Direct Connect customers can circumvent public internet connections while accessing AWS. This improves connectivity and minimizes network costs.
You are able to boost bandwidth speed without much effort, including data centers and backup servers. You can add more AWS tools while Direct Connect handles the increased load.
➡️ Azure ExpressRoute
As with Direct Connect, ExpressRoute allows on-premises infrastructure to be connected to Azure. ExpressRoute has the benefit that Microsoft is a global giant whose solutions adhere to the law. So Azure users do not have to route customer data over the unencrypted internet or worry if their connection complies with the GDPR.
As Microsoft invests in equipment such as undersea cables, as well as the fact that its tools are widely used around the globe, users can rest assured that the chance of latency and compatibility issues is minimal.
➡️ Google Cloud Interconnect
While similar to its other two rivals, Interconnect offers something extra.
🟢 Dedicated Interconnect connects the organization's on-premises infrastructure with Google Cloud resources and enables heavy data transfer. As Google's Interconnect is a physical connection, it eliminates the need for additional bandwidth to transfer massive amounts of data.
🟢 Partner Interconnect offers a link between the customer's on-premises network and their virtual private cloud (VPC). Ideal for when the customer's data center is not reachable by Dedicated Interconnect or if the data needs do not exceed 10 GBPS.A major advantage of Interconnect over others is its ability to reach clients via third-party service providers. With your local internet provider already in place, you can establish Interconnect with ease.
