Cloud Connect

A private on-ramp to every cloud.

Fast, private layer 2 links from your sites straight into AWS, Azure, Google Cloud and the rest of the world's platforms, bypassing the public internet entirely.

Why Cloud Connect

The Cloud, Without the Internet in the Way

Public internet paths are shared, congested and unpredictable. A private interconnect makes the cloud behave like part of your own network.

Performance That Holds

Bandwidth from 100 Mbps to 100 Gbps, reserved for you, so a busy internet does not slow you down.

Direct Data Routes

Your traffic crosses our network and our partners' straight onto the cloud provider's own network.

Fast To Provision

Connections are set up in days, not weeks, over a service you already have with us or a new one.

Private and Hybrid-Ready

Your traffic stays separate from end to end, on private addressing between your racks, offices and cloud, and is invisible from the internet.

How It Works

Three Hops, All of Them Private

1. Your SiteWe connect your office, rack or data centre presence to our carrier core: NBN, Metro Ethernet, Dark Fibre or a cross connect in any facility we operate in.
2. The FabricA private virtual circuit crosses our network and partner cloud interconnection fabrics spanning 1,200+ enabled locations worldwide.
3. Your CloudThe circuit lands natively in your VPC, VNet or tenancy through the provider's own on-ramp, with BGP handoff and private addressing.
  • Bandwidth from 100 Mbps to 100 Gbps per virtual circuit, changeable as workloads grow.
  • Multiple virtual circuits on one port: AWS, Azure and Google side by side.
  • Pairs naturally with our colocation racks, Business NBN, Metro Ethernet and Dark Fibre.

Cloud Connect Questions Answered

The practical detail our engineers get asked most.

What exactly is Cloud Connect?

A private connection from your sites straight into the cloud providers you use. Your traffic never touches the public internet, so speeds stay consistent, bandwidth is guaranteed, and there is one less way in for anyone else.

Which clouds can we reach?

All the majors: AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Oracle, IBM, Alibaba and more, plus 400+ service providers, SaaS platforms and internet exchanges available across the partner fabric. If your provider has a private on-ramp, we can almost certainly reach it.

Can we connect to more than one cloud?

Yes. One physical connection can carry multiple virtual circuits, so AWS and Azure can sit side by side on the same port. Cloud-to-cloud circuits are available too, keeping multicloud traffic entirely private.

Does it help with cloud costs?

Usually. The big cloud providers charge much less to move data out over a private connection than over the internet, so heavy users like backup, replication and video often save more than the connection costs.

How does it improve disaster recovery?

Replication to a second region or provider runs over guaranteed private bandwidth, so RPOs are predictable and a failover event does not depend on internet conditions at the worst possible moment.

Do we need to be in a data centre?

No. Cloud Connect can terminate on any Managed Networks service: an office on Business NBN or Metro Ethernet, your colocation racks, or dedicated fibre. We design the path to fit where your infrastructure actually lives.
