Multi-Cloud Connect Strategy via POPs Maximizing Business Value

CITIC Telecom CPC's Multi-Cloud Connect service is a completely controlled multi-cloud connectivity solution which renders a cost-effective and fast means for connecting to the most commonly used SaaS or IaaS providers. Our multi-cloud connect solution is built from these main components: Network Access Point, our global private network of 140+ PoPs worldwide, the customer service reporting and configuration portal, and distinct direct routes to leading IaaS and SaaS providers.

Industries are in the centre of a prominent Information Technology (IT) transformation driven by inventions like cloud, Internet of Things (IoT) and virtualization. As the number of applications increases and workloads are migrated to the cloud, industries are imposed with the challenge of boosting their wide area networks (WAN). Today, most industries depend on MPLS routers for their WAN, a technology that was initiated in the 1990s. Legacy MPLS networks are extremely inefficient in handling the sheer volume and variety of traffic that passes over modern business networks. An inadequately designed WAN can reduce the performance of cloud-based applications and adversely impact on the end-user experience.

Why go for our Multi-cloud Connect Service

Our Multi-cloud Connect service panders to the demands of both SaaS and IaaS rollouts. Whilst IaaS connectivity is dealt with utilizing private connections (i.e. Azure ExpressRoute, AWS Direct Connect), SaaS connectivity and performance are controlled using our distinctive Virtual Office (VO) solution.

A virtual office is just what it signifies. It is virtual, instead of using a physical site, handing off traffic from our multi-cloud service PoP to the nearest SaaS entry point. The industries SaaS traffic thus traverses our multi-cloud connect backbone from the end to a SaaS co-location point, assuring application performance.

What makes our Multi-cloud Connect service differ

In contrast to our solution, conventional connectivity solutions depend on either IPSec through the Internet or private MPLS links, these links do not address the cloud connectivity challenge. Issues dealt with these methods are detailed here.
