HOW DOES CLOUD EXPRESS WORK?

A business’s need to move and utilize workloads constantly fluctuates depending on the changing demands of the organization.

Most businesses access the cloud with their internet service provider (ISP) and public internet connection. Even though the public internet is easy and inexpensive, it isn’t always reliable, secure or efficient to move your business data.

Greater security and low latency are achieved by moving off of the public Internet. Plus, partnering with Glo Fiber Business is far more cost and time efficient than a customer trying to directly connect to cloud service providers on their own.

Your best bet for your business is using a cloud direct connect, like Glo Fiber’s Cloud Express. A cloud direct connection establishes a private, dedicated connection from your business to the cloud provider.

Cloud direct connections help get rid of network bottlenecks, giving you the speed and ease you need to keep your business running.

Currently, there is a huge industry shift in the migration towards cloud service providers. Now is the perfect time to offer our customers a secure direct connection that most of our competitors don’t have.

Glo Fiber’s Cloud Express allows for a faster and more secure connection to provide the scalability and agility your business demands.

Glo Fiber Business sets up and manages the services through Megaport, which saves your business time and money while reducing the risks involved when carrying cloud services over a DIA connection.

Your Glo Fiber Business Fiber Account Executive will work with you on your direct business cloud connection to develop the best network configuration and Ethernet speed.

Glo Fiber Business then works with Megaport’s software platform to get you connected to the cloud service provider, or providers, of your choice.

The Glo Fiber Business team does all the work and all the heavy lifting at a fraction of the cost it would take to set up on your own.

Once services are installed, most changes can be completed in a matter of minutes. It’s that easy.
