Next-Generation Connectivity, Today
Build a True Hybrid Cloud
Seamlessly integrate your XLC bare metal servers with public cloud services like AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure. Run your high- compute workloads with us to save costs, while leveraging the cloud's native services for a flexible, powerful hybrid architecture.
Bypass the Public Internet
Your data travels over a private, uncongested network backbone. This means lower latency, no packet loss, and stable, predictable performance backed by our 99.99% uptime SLA.
Private and Secure by Design
By avoiding the public internet, you drastically reduce your exposure to cyber threats like DDoS attacks and data sniffing. Your critical data remains on a private, trusted network path between your infrastructure and the cloud.
Eliminate Cloud Egress Fees
Data transfer costs from major cloud providers can be massive and unpredictable. Our private connections can significantly reduce or even eliminate these expensive egress fees, leading to substantial savings.
When Private Interconnect Beats a Typical Public-Internet Breakout
Many stacks still need the public internet—but for steady cloud adjacency, a dedicated interconnect or managed private path often wins on latency, security posture, and spend predictability. See how XLC Cloud Network compares to a generic ISP / public breakout pattern.
Cloud Network FAQ
Direct Cloud Connect focuses on the hyperscalers your teams already use—AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and additional partners where available. Tell us your target regions and VPC topology and we will validate on-ramp options in Los Angeles, Tokyo, or Hong Kong.
Site-to-site VPNs are encrypted but still traverse the public internet, so they inherit its congestion and routing variability. Private interconnects reduce those variables by using provisioned capacity and controlled peering—better for steady-state sync and latency-sensitive control planes.
Yes—hybrid designs are common. Keep databases and latency-sensitive tiers on dedicated hardware, extend subnets or routing to cloud with Direct Cloud Connect, and use our global IP network for public-facing anycast or transit needs.
Interconnect pricing depends on port speed, commit level, cloud partner, and facility. Share your throughput profile and regions; our sales engineers will return options and realistic provisioning windows.
