CLOUD CONNECTIVITY
Cloud Connectivity Services
Our platform securely connects you to any Cloud Service Provider (CSP), including Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP)
What is Cloud Connectivity?
Cloud connectivity refers to the network infrastructure and services that enable secure, reliable connections between your organisation's infrastructure and cloud service providers. Unlike basic internet connections, professional cloud connectivity solutions provide:
Private, dedicated pathways to cloud resources
Enhanced security through encrypted connections
Predictable performance with guaranteed bandwidth
Compliance-ready infrastructure for regulated industries
Multi-cloud capabilities for vendor flexibility

Traditional connectivity challenges plague NHS trusts, local councils, and government departments:
Lengthy deployment times (30-90 days with legacy providers)
Vendor lock-in with inflexible contracts
Compliance complexity across HSCN, PSN, and NHS Digital standards
Limited visibility into network performance and security
Our cloud connectivity platform solves these pain points with a unified approach that combines connectivity, security, and management in one solution.
