DC Connect

High bandwidth, cost effective connectivity services into Data Centres and Cloud providers.

The nature of research and business IT continues to evolve with the accelerated adoption of Cloud services to satisfy the needs of both business operations and research. Data Centre Connect (DC Connect) is a service that REANNZ can provide at selected Data Centre sites around the country, allowing for high bandwidth, cost effective connectivity into the REANNZ Network.

This is an alternative option to our Managed Access and Edge service that requires a dedicated Fibre from the Data Centre to the nearest REANNZ PoP. This service uses preinstalled equipment and diverse connectivity at the Data Centre, bringing the edge of the REANNZ Network into the facility which allows the quick delivery of new services and ensures high uptime and availability. DC Connect uses shared REANNZ infrastructure to then connect into the wider REANNZ Network and other Cloud providers.
