Public Cloud
Connect

Private, dedicated onramps into AWS, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud — bypassing the public internet for predictable performance, lower egress costs and a single SLA from your office to the cloud edge.

  • Private layer-2/3 onramps to AWS, Azure & GCP
  • Speeds from 50Mbps up to 10Gbps
  • Bypass the public internet entirely
  • Predictable latency and zero contention
  • Reduce egress and data-transfer costs
  • Multi-cloud and hybrid topologies

Direct onramps to every major cloud

We're a partner with all three hyperscalers and most of the second-tier clouds. Pick one — or connect to several over a single bearer.

AWS Direct Connect

Private VIFs to your VPCs, public VIFs for S3/DynamoDB and transit VIFs for hub-and-spoke. Hosted connections from 50Mbps.

Microsoft Azure ExpressRoute

Private peering into Azure VNETs and Microsoft peering for Microsoft 365, Dynamics and other SaaS workloads.

Google Cloud Interconnect

Partner Interconnect VLAN attachments straight into your GCP VPCs, with sub-5ms latency to London regions.

Other Clouds & SaaS

Oracle FastConnect, IBM Cloud Direct Link, Salesforce Express Connect and Equinix Fabric on request.

What's included

Private connectivity, end-to-end SLA

Every onramp ships with hard committed bandwidth, BGP peering, resilience options and a single UK NOC owning the whole path to the cloud edge.

Bypass the Public Internet

Traffic stays on our private MPLS core all the way to the cloud edge — no IPSec, no internet jitter, no surprises.

Predictable Performance

Hard CIR with sub-5ms latency to UK cloud regions and consistent throughput, even during peak hours.

Lower Egress Costs

Cloud providers charge less for data leaving over a private interconnect than over the public internet — savings scale fast at volume.

Multi-Cloud Ready

Connect to AWS, Azure and GCP simultaneously over a single bearer with VLAN-tagged sub-interfaces.

Resilient by Design

Active/active dual links across diverse fibre paths and provider edges for true 99.99% availability.

End-to-End SLA

We own the circuit from your kit to the cloud handover — one SLA, one number to call, no finger-pointing.

Burstable Bandwidth

Scale your committed rate as workloads grow without re-installing the bearer or renegotiating the contract.

UK NOC, 24/7/365

Real engineers answer the phone — no offshore call centres, no scripts, no hand-offs.

Live Reporting

Real-time bandwidth graphs, NetFlow analytics and SLA reports through the customer portal.

Who it's for

Built for hybrid and multi-cloud workloads

Hybrid Cloud

Extend your on-premise or colocated kit into AWS, Azure or GCP as a private layer-2 LAN segment.

Backup & DR

Replicate VMs and databases off-site to public cloud over a fast, predictable private circuit.

Microsoft 365 & SaaS

Dedicated ExpressRoute Microsoft peering for Teams, SharePoint and Exchange — without the public internet.

Data Lakes & Analytics

Move large datasets between on-prem storage and cloud analytics platforms at line rate.

A predictable delivery process

  1. 1

    Scope & design

    Tell us your cloud regions, target bandwidth and resilience needs. We'll design the topology and quote the right service.

  2. 2

    Provision the onramp

    We order the cloud-side VLAN attachment, manage any wayleaves on the access tail and project-manage the build.

  3. 3

    Configure BGP & test

    Our engineers stage your edge router, configure BGP peering with the cloud provider and validate end-to-end routing.

  4. 4

    Live & monitored

    Go live with 24/7 NOC monitoring, SLA reporting and a single UK number for both the circuit and the cloud handover.

12 common questions

An IPSec VPN runs over the public internet — lower cost but unpredictable latency, jitter and bandwidth caps on your internet circuit. Public Cloud Connect is a private layer-2/3 onramp with dedicated committed bandwidth, sub-5ms latency to UK cloud regions, no encryption overhead on the bearer and a hard SLA from your site or rack to the cloud handover point.
