Cloud Prioritisation
Cloud Prioritisation
Cloud Access via public Internet
More and more enterprises are looking at public Internet as their primary connectivity to the cloud. It offers high bandwidths at attractive prices and is easy to integrate into existing telecommunications infrastructure, including modern SD WAN.
But public Internet traffic can be subject to network contention and unpredictable routing which can affect cloud services’ user experience. This is particularly critical for productivity and enterprise communication SaaS applications such as Microsoft Office 365. Colt Cloud Prioritisation is changing this.
Colt Cloud Prioritisation
Colt Cloud Prioritisation combines the benefits of optimised routing and a direct peering infrastructure with traffic prioritisation between customer router and provider edge router.
Customers can reach Office 365 and Azure with a consistent and reliable user experience, backed by a guaranteed maximum Round Trip Delay (RTD) of 30ms. It is one of the first services of its kind to launch at scale in Europe and works best in conjunction with the new Microsoft Azure Peering Service.
Cloud Prioritisation customers can also decide how much of their Internet bandwidth is dynamically reserved for Microsoft. This will work for both incoming and outgoing traffic.
Colt has a unique direct interconnection infrastructure with Microsoft in 20 cities across Europe and Asia. This dense network of interconnections will make sure that the traffic gets to its destination quickly and without unnecessary intermediate stations.
