RackConnect Global

Unify your cloud spaces into a homogenous multicloud

Our backbone, your private network

Today, almost every business, whether by accident or design, is operating in a multicloud environment. But optimizing that situation for the lowest costs and best possible customer and employee experience in the most business efficient way can be daunting.

RackConnect Global securely networks all of your premises, data centers and cloud services together into a unified private network, avoiding the expense of dedicated circuits or the vagaries of the public Internet.

If you are looking for a way to securely connect multiple data centers and want to include multiple public cloud providers, such as AWS, Microsoft® Azure®or Google Cloud Platform™ (GCP) RackConnect® Global is a highly reliable and secure way to connect multiple geographically disparate IT platforms.

Predictable costs

RackConnect Global charges a  fixed monthly cost for service — rather than estimates based on varying bandwidth use — which makes your planning much easier.

Blended bandwidth costs

RackConnect Global is a private fiber backbone which blends the tariffs from multiple telecom carriers and thus significantly reduces average data transit costs and is far more cost effective than procuring point-to-point connections between all your chosen end-points from multiple telecommunications carriers.
