Most organisations opt for hybrid cloud and multicloud strategies, with some workloads moving to one or multiple cloud platforms, and others staying within the company firewall. In Switzerland, the Study “Cloud Trends 2020” highlighted, that the 120 CIOs that answered the Survey expect a big move of applications in the various types of Cloud.
The distribution of data and applications across multiple private and public cloud platforms brings a new challenge. How to connect data and applications residing in multiple private and public clouds?
Whilst Internet connectivity is fine for some applications, there are other applications where private connections between private and public clouds are crucial to meet security and performance requirements. For example, customers with large data sets that require access to scalable cloud-based storage, such as Google Cloud Storage, and analytics engines such as Google Analytics 360 Suite. Also, accessing public clouds via the internet is seen as a challenge for IT security.
This is why Cloud Platforms are rolling out network nodes across markets, offering private connectivity into their cloud data centers. Typically, these network nodes are deployed in carrier-neutral data centres, where many networks and enterprises already colocate and interconnect IT systems.
