What is Intelligent Connected Cloud (ICC) Cloud Connect?
As more organisations connect to multiple cloud providers, the landscape of cloud adoption continues to evolve. Without a connectivity strategy in place, navigating this complex process can be expensive and time-consuming.
To keep up with the demands of modern business, Nasstar Channel has transformed its network, moving away from legacy networks to provide high-speed core network bandwidth and connectivity across the UK.
Intelligent Connected Cloud represents Nasstar Channel’s core network capabilities, providing both the core backbone and last-mile connectivity to ensure your customers can connect to the public cloud and the Internet through a single, secure solution.
About ICC Cloud Connect
ICC Cloud Connect simplifies multi-cloud architecture by providing a dedicated and secure private connection between your customer’s locations/branches and your customer’s chosen hyperscaler environments to effectively bring the hyperscaler “on-net” to your customer’s networks.
The offering has been developed to provide a dedicated cloud onramp that underpins a cloud workload and data migration strategy, delivering dedicated access into public cloud infrastructure for both cloud workload migration and consumption of cloud data and applications.
Using ICC Cloud Connect, your customers’ data can be transferred into all major hyperscalers including Azure, AWS, and GCP. This dedicated and secure connectivity solution between the Intelligent Connected Cloud network and a chosen hyperscaler environment results in centrally provisioned connectivity for a streamlined approach to data transfer.
Opting for ICC Cloud Connect means your customers have increased scalability and cost savings while having greater flexibility in choosing a hyperscaler. This freedom of choice is vital for determining and choosing the best public cloud environment for both their data and wider business needs.
With Cloud Connect, your customers can experience enhanced user experience and performance through the bringing together of applications and connectivity. They can look forward to dedicated links to cloud hyperscaler platforms, all with built-in security and end-to-end visibility.
How does it work?
Unlike the traditional approach that requires separate hyperscaler point solutions at each of your locations, ICC Cloud Connect centralises the procurement process.
Using a layered approach, it can be utilised to establish private, dedicated connectivity with cloud service providers from within your customers’ network. This streamlines the migration process and provides a cost-effective, scalable solution for organisations navigating the complexities of cloud adoption.
ICC Cloud Connect will save you and your customers valuable time and significantly reduce the cost of managing disparate solutions, providing the framework for a more efficient multi-cloud connectivity strategy.
