Google Cloud Interconnect provides enterprises with dedicated and secure access to Google Cloud Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) networks
EdgeConneX®, a pioneer in Edge data center® development, announces the availability of Google Cloud Interconnect at its Portland Edge Data Center® (EDC) campus. The carrier-neutral Portland EDC now serves as a direct edge cloud on-ramp node from which customers can establish secure, scalable and affordable links to Google Cloud Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) networks. Bypassing the public Internet allows customer traffic to take fewer hops, so there are fewer points of potential failure where traffic might get dropped or disrupted. Moreover, these connections are often more cost-effective than purchasing additional bandwidth over the public Internet.
“Portland is a great example of a historical Edge market that has quickly become a major interconnection hub in the region, the Silicon Forest,” says Aron Smith, Vice President for Interconnection Product Management at EdgeConneX. “By offering premium, dedicated local private access to the cloud in Portland via Google Cloud Interconnect, our customers can enjoy all the benefits of the cloud with a secure, dedicated and local access solution. The fact that customers can simultaneously optimize performance and reduce costs, makes it even better.”
