Public Internet

A public internet connection provides connectivity to the cloud over a standard internet connection using our standard IP Access product.

 

IP Access works well:

  1. Where dedicated fibre is not required, and public internet will suffice
  2. Where the priority is a simple, low-cost solution to connect to the cloud
  3. For non-critical applications, where SLA-backed performance is not required
 

Guaranteed Performance

Public internet with cloud prioritisation provides guaranteed cloud connectivity over a standard internet connection using our cloud prioritisation product.

IP Access with Cloud Prioritisation works well:

  1. For more critical applications but where public internet will suffice
  2. Where cloud connectivity is being used predominantly for Microsoft applications (Teams, Office 365, Azure or Windows Virtual Desktop)
  3. When a consistent, SLA-backed user experience is required
 

Dedicated Connectivity

A dedicated fibre connection provides a secure, high performance, end-to-end connectivity for mission critical traffic to major cloud providers.

Dedicated access works well:

  1. Where you do not wish for your traffic to traverse the public internet, and a dedicated fibre connection is required
  2. For mission critical applications
  3. Where SLA-backed performance is a must
