How it works

Google customers need simple and highly available connectivity solutions to reach Google resources such as Workspace and other internet-facing applications. But managing Direct Peering connections can be complex and it might not be the right approach for everyone.

Connecting with a Verified Peering Provider (VPP) like Colt to reach Google means that you can leverage the same set of infrastructure that delivers highly-reliable services including Search, Ads, YouTube, and more. By leaving Direct Peering to the ISPs, the VPP program lets you access all Google services without the complexities of peering. As a VPP, Colt manages Direct Peering with Google over dedicated private connectivity like IP Transit or Dedicated Internet Access. When Google customers connect to a VPP to reach Google they are choosing a provider that has verified diverse connectivity to Google, which enables highly available access to Google services.
