Site connections to the InterCloud platform are multiservice ready and can be leveraged to connect privately to other clouds for IaaS.
A large organization engaged with InterCloud as it recognized it was limited with the volume of workloads running in the public cloud.
They needed to develop a new way of powering global connectivity across their business that reduced egress fees and optimized routing of traffic across the business.
Running multiple clouds was leading to poor optimization of internal resources and a lack of harmony for security and data exchange between regions, business units, users, data and applications.
With such complexity, the enforcing of security rules and other peripheral functions was holding the company back from a common governance approach.
With a growing reliance on the cloud, the company could not risk increasing latency due to public cloud computing.
High volumes of data exchange across the clouds was resulting in unacceptable and unsustainable levels of data egress fees.
Network Hubs, placed in selected InterCloud Edges and at colocation hubs of the customer’s choice, provide lower latency points to interconnect with the required locations.
