Dimension Data, which is the global ICT solutions provider owned by NTT, will begin offering a Cloud Private Network Connection (CPNC) add-on service for its enterprise-class public, private and managed hosting cloud offerings.
CPNC services allow clients to establish a dedicated network connection between their own network and Dimension Data’s Managed Cloud Platform locations to provide greater control and security over their data in the cloud.
Dimension Data offers two options for clients wanting a global, high-performance and secure method to access their Dimension Data cloud and managed hosting environments without traversing the public Internet:
- Direct Connect – access to a dedicated, physical port at the MCP location at a speed of 1Gbps
- Private Connect – access to a virtual port via a partner MPLS provider at flexible speed options
“CPNC replicates the security, connectivity and responsiveness that enterprises are accustomed to from their own wide area and local area networks. Enterprises that have delayed the migration of production systems and applications to the cloud due to connectivity concerns can now utilize this new service to deliver certainty in network performance and throughput,” stated Gerard Florian, director of product management at Dimension Data.
