IBM Cloud Direct Link for Data Centers
With IBM Cloud Direct Link services, CyrusOne customers can execute hybrid cloud workloads, operate multi-cloud environments and transfer data with reliability, security, and speed as they continue along their hybrid cloud journeys.
Extend & Connect Resources
CyrusOne customers can use IBM Cloud Direct Link to connect and also extend resource capacity to their already existing on-premises data centers. The solutions provide a link between cloud capacity and data center capacity.
Store, Back Up, Recover
The Cloud Direct Link solution is ideal for data migration and can replicate data for business continuity and disaster recovery. It also allows customers to back up or store data from the data center to IBM Cloud directly.
Connect to Other Clouds
The Direct Link connection allows customers to connect from the IBM Cloud directly to a service provider-managed WAN or a client-managed cloud backbone to help facilitate multi-cloud connectivity.
