Besides Internet services, Arelion’s Cloud Connect solution provides a direct, secure, dedicated, and scalable connection to major Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) throughout Europe, The Americas, and Asia to ensure quick implementation of private Cloud Connectivity. These CSPs include Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), IBM Cloud, and OracleCloud. Customers can also connect to multiple datacenters or clouds at Layer 2 using protected Ethernet connectivity from single or multiple locations, enabling multi-cloud access, while leveraging the same connectivity infrastructure the hyperscalers use at terabit scale.
The addition of Arelion increases DataVerge customer access to long haul transport providers that – along with direct access to the facility’s dark fiber, metro, and other long haul transport providers – enables DataVerge to offer an unbeatable interconnection advantage.
