What Should I Consider When Connecting My On-Premises Data Center to the Cloud Using Direct Connect?
Updated on 2025-01-22 GMT+08:00
Consider the following when you connect your on-premises data center to the cloud using Direct Connect:
- Port speed: Direct Connect supports 1GE, 10GE, 40GE, and 100GE single-mode optical ports. (Single fiber access is not supported.)
- Connection type: You can create standard connections or request hosted connections.
- A standard connection has a dedicated port for your exclusive use and can be associated with multiple virtual interfaces.
- If you request a hosted connection from a partner, you share a port with other users, and you can create only one virtual interface for your connection. The partner allocates the required VLAN and bandwidth for your connection.
- How a port is ordered: You can request a self-service connection or a full-service connection.
- Self-service connection: Huawei Cloud only provides the port. You need to create a connection on the console, lease a line from a carrier, and use the line to connect your on-premises data center to the Direct Connect location you have selected.
- Full-service connection: You only need to create a connection on the console, and Huawei Cloud will complete all operations required for network connectivity.
- Routing mode: There are static routing and BGP routing.
- Static routes are configured for access to the cloud over the connection.
- BGP is used for more flexible and efficient access.
