Direct Connect

Direct Connect (DC) provides you with a convenient method to connect your enterprise data center to Tencent Cloud. You can use Direct Connect to establish a private connection service completely isolated from the public internet. Compared to the public internet, Direct Connect offers characteristics such as higher security, greater stability, lower latency, and larger bandwidth. You only need a single carrier physical line to access Tencent Cloud at one point, and you can quickly create multiple dedicated tunnels to connect computing resources deployed on Tencent Cloud, achieving flexible and reliable Hybrid Cloud Deployment. In many cases, the diverse billing models of dedicated tunnels can also help you save on Direct Connect usage costs. As a mature core dedicated line interconnection product, the Private Connection Service creates a dedicated channel completely isolated from the public internet via a physical line, ensuring data transmission security. Hybrid Cloud Deployment leverages Direct Connect to achieve intranet convergence between On-premises IDC resources and Tencent Cloud resources, supporting communication across multiple data centers. Reliable Disaster Recovery adopts distributed cluster deployment and end-to-end high-availability configuration, meeting availability requirements of over 99.95%. On-premises IDC Connection leverages low latency and high bandwidth characteristics to enable rapid business data transmission and resource access. Dual-line Access, as a redundancy solution, can work with Hybrid Cloud Deployment and Reliable Disaster Recovery to further enhance network stability, preventing impact from single-line failures. Whether for building enterprise hybrid cloud architectures, enabling high-frequency communication between on-premises IDCs and cloud resources, or providing disaster recovery protection for core businesses, Direct Connect can become the core network support for enterprise digital transformation through the security of Private Connection Service, the flexibility of Hybrid Cloud Deployment, the stability of Reliable Disaster Recovery, the efficiency of On-premises IDC Connection, and the redundancy of Dual-line Access. Furthermore, the deep synergy between Hybrid Cloud Deployment and Dual-line Access significantly expands the scenario coverage and service resilience of Direct Connect.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: As the core interconnection foundation, how does the Private Connection Service synergize with Reliable Disaster Recovery and Dual-line Access to support the core needs of Hybrid Cloud Deployment and On-premises IDC Connection? Where are its technical advantages reflected?

 

A: Centered on "Dedicated Link + Security Isolation," the Private Connection Service provides foundational support for two core capabilities, solidifying the service base of Direct Connect. Firstly, it builds a dedicated channel isolated from the public internet via a physical line, providing a low-latency, highly secure transmission path for On-premises IDC Connection. Simultaneously, it coordinates with the distributed cluster deployment of Reliable Disaster Recovery and leverages Dual-line Access to form a redundant architecture, ensuring uninterrupted data transmission within Hybrid Cloud Deployment. Secondly, it empowers Hybrid Cloud Deployment to achieve interconnection across multiple data centers. Even if the network segments of the on-premises IDC and the cloud-based private network overlap, communication is unaffected. Dual-line Access provides dual-path assurance for Hybrid Cloud Deployment, further strengthening the capabilities of Reliable Disaster Recovery and preventing business stoppage due to a single-line failure. Technical advantages are evident in two aspects: First, "Secure & Stable + Exceptional Performance" – the exclusive link characteristic of Private Connection Service eliminates data leakage risks, and its low-latency, high-bandwidth advantages meet the high-frequency transmission demands of On-premises IDC Connection. Second, "Flexible Architecture + Comprehensive Disaster Recovery" – it adapts to the diverse architectures of Hybrid Cloud Deployment while providing multi-layer protection for core businesses through the synergy of Reliable Disaster Recovery and Dual-line Access.

Q: What is the core synergistic value between Hybrid Cloud Deployment and Reliable Disaster Recovery? How can On-premises IDC Connection and Dual-line Access be leveraged to strengthen the competitiveness of Direct Connect?

 

A: Their core synergistic value lies in the two-way empowerment of "Architectural Elasticity + Risk Mitigation," addressing the enterprise networking pain points of "inflexible deployment and weak disaster recovery capabilities." Hybrid Cloud Deployment breaks down the isolation barriers between on-premises and cloud resources, enabling flexible resource orchestration. Reliable Disaster Recovery focuses on fault self-healing and business continuity, avoiding losses from network interruptions. Their combination elevates Direct Connect from a "mere interconnection tool" to an integrated solution for "Architecture Optimization + Disaster Recovery Assurance." Their synergy with On-premises IDC Connection and Dual-line Access significantly enhances the competitiveness of Direct Connect: On-premises IDC Connection provides efficient transmission support for Hybrid Cloud Deployment, making data exchange between on-premises and cloud more seamless, and works with Reliable Disaster Recovery to achieve data backup and rapid recovery. Dual-line Access, as a redundancy solution, adds resilience to Hybrid Cloud Deployment and Reliable Disaster Recovery. It ensures the link stability for On-premises IDC Connection and enables automatic failover during a single-line failure, making the response of Reliable Disaster Recovery faster and meeting the high-availability requirements of industries like finance and government. This combination of "Elastic Architecture + Disaster Recovery Mitigation + Efficient Interconnection + Redundant Assurance" gives Direct Connect stronger market competitiveness.

Q: How does Dual-line Access address the link reliability pain points of Direct Connect? What benefits does its synergy with Direct Connect and the Private Connection Service bring to Hybrid Cloud Deployment and On-premises IDC Connection?

A: The core value of Dual-line Access lies in "Redundant Backup + Fault Self-healing," solving the traditional dedicated line pain points of "single-line dependency and slow fault recovery." By connecting to Tencent Cloud via two independent lines and coordinating with the end-to-end high-availability configuration of Reliable Disaster Recovery, it enables seamless failover during line failures, ensuring continuous network availability. Its synergy with the two core components brings significant gains to scenario-specific capabilities: Working with Direct Connect and the Private Connection Service, Dual-line Access makes the architecture of Hybrid Cloud Deployment more stable and the link for On-premises IDC Connection more reliable. Even if one line experiences congestion or failure, the other line can immediately take over the traffic, preventing business interruption. For Hybrid Cloud Deployment, Dual-line Access supports multi-data center backup. Combined with the security isolation characteristic of the Private Connection Service, it enables bidirectional redundant backup between on-premises IDCs and cloud resources. For On-premises IDC Connection, Dual-line Access can share the transmission load, improving the transmission efficiency for high-bandwidth services. Simultaneously, working with the monitoring mechanisms of Reliable Disaster Recovery, it helps quickly locate line issues, reducing operational costs. This synergy makes Hybrid Cloud Deployment more reliable, On-premises IDC Connection more stable, and establishes Direct Connect as the preferred solution for network interconnection of core businesses.
