About IBM Cloud Direct Link

The IBM Cloud Direct Link solution is designed to seamlessly connect your on-premises resources to your cloud resources. The speed and reliability of IBM Cloud Direct Link helps enable you to extend your organization’s data center network and provides consistent, higher-throughput connectivity, without touching the public internet. Use IBM Cloud Direct Link to connect and extend resource capacity to your existing on-premises data centers. IBM Cloud Direct Link Dedicated makes it easier to establish a single-cloud fiber cross-connection in an IBM Cloud network point of presence (PoP). Use the low-latency, highly available connections to reliably transfer data between your on-premises and IBM Cloud virtual private cloud networks. See fewer network disruptions and connectivity drops, as traffic between your on-premises and IBM Cloud networks never touches the public internet. With options from 50 Mbps to 10 Gbps, get the right amount of bandwidth to your organization.

Azure Virtual Network
Azure Virtual Network
Azure Virtual Network gives you an isolated and highly-secure environment to run your virtual machines and applications. Use your private IP addresses and define subnets, access control policies, and more. Use Virtual Network to treat Azure the same as you would your own datacenter. Traffic between Azure resources in a single region, or in multiple regions, stays in the Azure network—intra-Azure traffic doesn’t flow over the Internet. In Azure, traffic for virtual machine-to-virtual machine, storage, and SQL communication only traverses the Azure network, regardless of the source and destination Azure region. Inter-region virtual network-to-virtual network traffic also flows entirely across the Azure network. Use Virtual Network to extend your on-premises IT environment into the cloud, like you set up and connect to a remote branch office. You have options to securely connect to a virtual network—choose an IPsec VPN or a private connection by using Azure ExpressRoute.

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure FastConnect
FastConnect allows customers to connect directly to their Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) virtual cloud network via dedicated, private, high-bandwidth connections. Then, based on the amount of data, customers simply choose an appropriate port speed and pay a consistent, low price each month. Other providers charge for the amount of data moved, which can be expensive and unpredictable. Extend your on-premises environment to Oracle Cloud by choosing one or more than 50 Fast Connect partners representing the top carrier and network providers globally, and get responsive access for your cloud-based workloads. Connect to Oracle Cloud using a FastConnect partner, a third-party provider, or from within a colocation environment.
