RackConnect Global
Unify your cloud spaces into a homogenous multicloud
Our backbone, your private network
Today, almost every business, whether by accident or design, is operating in a multicloud environment. But optimizing that situation for the lowest costs and best possible customer and employee experience in the most business efficient way can be daunting.
RackConnect Global securely networks all of your premises, data centers and cloud services together into a unified private network, avoiding the expense of dedicated circuits or the vagaries of the public Internet.
If you are looking for a way to securely connect multiple data centers and want to include multiple public cloud providers, such as AWS, Microsoft® Azure®or Google Cloud Platform™ (GCP) RackConnect® Global is a highly reliable and secure way to connect multiple geographically disparate IT platforms.
Use Cases
Keep your DC and cloud connections private
Avoid relying on public Internet connections or multiple dedicated circuits to access your applications and data wherever they are; no matter if they are in one of your DCs, in a COLO or in a public cloud.
RackConnect Global provides you with resilient virtual private backbone network.
Add or drop cloud services quickly and easily
Spin up almost as many virtual connections as you need when you need them
Un-limited geography
Rackconnect Global leverages the power to Equinix Cloud Exchange, Megaport and Unitas Global to connect you to almost any city location in the world
Minimize the number of Telco relationships
With RackConnect Global, the mesh of end to end connectivity to all the locations of your choice that you need are fulfilled and managed by Rackspace and its key partners.
Predictable costs
RackConnect Global charges a fixed monthly cost for service — rather than estimates based on varying bandwidth use — which makes your planning much easier.
Blended bandwidth costs
RackConnect Global is a private fiber backbone which blends the tariffs from multiple telecom carriers and thus significantly reduces average data transit costs and is far more cost effective than procuring point-to-point connections between all your chosen end-points from multiple telecommunications carriers.
