Unlike many of its SDN competitors, who have to lease bandwidth from network operators, Console Connect runs on the worldwide PCCW Global MPLS network. This high-quality, uncontended, redundant core network with multiple diverse paths between countries gives Console Connect customers the agility and control of SDN with the security and service resilience of dedicated infrastructure.
Customers now can purchase a 1G or 10G access port into the Console Connect SDN platform from multiple locations throughout the region. Once connected, it only takes a few seconds to set up, change or upgrade their own virtual circuit across the Console Connect network to any connected user or service – for a day, a week, a month, or a year – and only pay for what’s used, with no lock-in contract.
Service providers and enterprises around the globe can order services directly into all Asian regions on the one SDN platform, with no more restrictions by geography or the technical difficulty of connecting securely to multiple networks. It’s simple and easy for partners or customers using Console Connect to self-manage cost-effective, reliable and flexible connectivity throughout the Asia, and satisfy more of their customers’ business needs.
Carriers hop across the Pacific
Carriers now can integrate Console Connect using an API NNI or traditional NNI Interconnect between their network and Console Connect.
With the ability to provision secure virtual circuits directly across the global platform or directly into multiple global cloud providers on the network, Console Connect represents amazing new opportunities for carriers to boost their customers’ capabilities with cloud, without incurring massive bandwidth costs or the headaches of the general internet.
In today’s cloud-first world, Console Connect has quickly emerged as the wholesale partner of choice for the world’s regional networks, and made global connectivity between data centers and regional clouds easier than ever to provision and control.
