IBM Cloud Direct Link Description
The IBM Cloud Direct Link solution facilitates a smooth integration between your local infrastructure and cloud resources. By offering high speed and dependable connections, IBM Cloud Direct Link allows organizations to effectively expand their data center networks while maintaining consistent, high-throughput connectivity that bypasses the public internet entirely. This solution empowers users to enhance capacity at their existing on-premises data centers by leveraging IBM Cloud Direct Link. With IBM Cloud Direct Link Dedicated, establishing a direct fiber connection within an IBM Cloud network point of presence (PoP) becomes straightforward and efficient. These low-latency, highly reliable connections ensure that data transfers between your on-premises facilities and IBM Cloud virtual private cloud networks are both secure and efficient. As traffic remains insulated from the public internet, disruptions and connectivity issues are significantly minimized. Furthermore, with bandwidth options ranging from 50 Mbps to 10 Gbps, you can select the optimal capacity that suits your organization's specific needs. This flexibility allows businesses to adapt to evolving demands while ensuring robust performance.
