How RackConnect Global Can Help You

Secure Connectivity

Use RackConnect Global to securely transfer data without going over the Internet, using a private circuit that isn’t shared with others — for an additional layer of protection for your business data and apps. You can connect your other data center locations or cloud providers to Rackspace through a RackConnect Global-enabled Equinix or Megaport location in North America or Europe. We can also connect multiple Rackspace data center regions in North America and Europe.

Disaster Recovery

Looking for a secure backup, failover or redundancy option to support your disaster recovery plan? RackConnect Global provides a reliable private connection between Rackspace and your data center or other cloud providers, enabling you to bypass the Internet while you back up and recover application data.
