About AWS Direct Connect

AWS Direct Connect is a cloud service that establishes a dedicated network connection between your on-premises infrastructure and AWS, bypassing the public internet to deliver consistent, low-latency performance. This direct link enhances application performance and can reduce networking costs through lower data transfer rates. With connection speeds ranging from 50 Mbps up to 400 Gbps, AWS Direct Connect offers flexibility to meet diverse bandwidth requirements. It supports multiple encryption options, including MACsec for point-to-point encryption on higher-speed connections and AWS Site-to-Site VPN for IPsec-based security, ensuring data protection during transit. The service also features AWS Direct Connect SiteLink, enabling private, end-to-end network connections between your global offices, data centers, and colocation facilities, facilitating efficient data transfer across your network. Deployment options include dedicated connections directly from AWS.

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure FastConnect
FastConnect allows customers to connect directly to their Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) virtual cloud network via dedicated, private, high-bandwidth connections. Then, based on the amount of data, customers simply choose an appropriate port speed and pay a consistent, low price each month. Other providers charge for the amount of data moved, which can be expensive and unpredictable. Extend your on-premises environment to Oracle Cloud by choosing one or more than 50 Fast Connect partners representing the top carrier and network providers globally, and get responsive access for your cloud-based workloads. Connect to Oracle Cloud using a FastConnect partner, a third-party provider, or from within a colocation environment.
