  • The challenge


  • Connecting your cloud ecosystem

    You’re moving more workloads to the cloud. It provides you with the scalability you need, without the high costs of in-house data centers and related expertise. But you don’t just have one cloud. You have one for application development, one for your CRM, and another for your ERP — and they’re all hosted by different providers.

    How do you connect to those clouds? If you’re using the public internet, you could be increasing the risks of sensitive data being compromised — and you’ll have little control over performance. Private connections can be expensive and complex to manage, with little flexibility. With either approach, you can end up with little visibility of your network traffic and performance.

  • The solution

  • Verizon’s Secure Cloud Interconnect enables you to connect securely to your growing cloud ecosystem over connections that are completely separated from the public internet. You can connect to leading cloud service providers including Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud Platform, Microsoft® Azure™ ExpressRoute® and more.

  • Secure, scalable connectivity

    With Secure Cloud Interconnect, you don’t have the headache of managing multiple point-to-point connections. Better yet, you have visibility and control over each of your workloads traveling to the CSPs.

    You don’t want to wait weeks to get new cloud services up and running. When added to an existing Verizon Private IP service, Secure Cloud Interconnect provides pre-provisioned access to cloud resources. This means you can deploy new services in days not weeks.

    You want to be able to add scale fast, but pay for what you need. Secure Cloud Interconnect doesn’t make you pay for fixed bandwidth built out for peak usage. It manages spikes in application use without the need for manual intervention or monitoring. You get truly scalable bandwidth, designed for the cloud. And our consumption-based pricing plans mean you pay for the bandwidth you need without large investments upfront.

    You can also choose redundancy options for your CSP connections to help your applications stay running. And we offer a suite of complementary solutions so you can further strengthen security and performance.
