The Challenge. Suffering Customer Experience
Public internet paths introduce variability, latency, and risk for cloud applications. Customer experience suffers when critical apps are jittery or slow.
Direct peering provides predictable performance, security, and control by connecting your network into Microsoft and AWS without traversing the open internet.
Our Expertise. Cloud Connectivity & Performance
We maintain direct peering with Microsoft (including Azure and Maps) and AWS, enabling optimised routes and consistent performance for cloud workloads. This is ideal for real‑time apps, data replication, and latency‑sensitive services.
Peering integrates with our private connectivity and security services for an end‑to‑end, controlled architecture.
