Private, Low-Latency Connections to Your Cloud Infrastructure
Lastcluster Direct Connect enables secure, high-performance private network connections between your on-premises data centers or colocation environments and Lastcluster’s cloud infrastructure — bypassing the public internet entirely.
Key Features
-
Consistent Low Latency:
Ideal for latency-sensitive applications like real-time analytics, trading platforms, and video conferencing.
-
Increased Security:
Traffic stays off the public internet, reducing exposure to DDoS attacks, eavesdropping, and data leaks.
-
Higher Bandwidth Options:
Dedicated links support bandwidths ranging from 1 Gbps to 100 Gbps.
-
Reduced Data Transfer Costs:
Lower egress charges compared to internet-based connections.
Integration Options
Lastcluster Direct Connect integrates with your existing on-premises and cloud infrastructure through the following connectivity options:
-
Colocation Facilities
Partnered with major data center providers for faster provisioning.
-
Virtual Interfaces (VIF)
Use public VIF for internet-based services and private VIF for VPC access.
-
Redundant Links
Deploy secondary connections for failover and high availability.
Monitoring & Management
-
Real-time bandwidth and traffic analytics
Live circuit utilisation metrics, per-second throughput graphs, and latency measurements for all Direct Connect circuits, accessible from the Lastcluster management portal.
-
Connection health checks
Continuous BGP session monitoring, physical link state verification, and automated alerting for degradation events, packet loss threshold breaches, or unexpected circuit failures.
-
Automated provisioning with APIs
Programmatically order Direct Connect circuits, configure virtual interfaces, adjust bandwidth tiers, and manage BGP routing policies through Lastcluster's RESTful management API.
Compliance Support
Lastcluster Direct Connect supports compliance-aligned private connectivity for regulated and security-sensitive workloads:
-
Data Sovereignty by Design
Private circuit connectivity ensures your enterprise data never traverses the public internet, directly supporting UAE PDPL, GDPR, DIFC, and sector-specific data residency requirements with a verifiable, auditable network path.
-
Regulated Sector Ready
Pre-validated Direct Connect configurations for financial services, healthcare, and government workloads requiring demonstrable network isolation, traffic integrity guarantees, and documented access control.
-
Audit-Ready Connectivity
Comprehensive traffic logging, BGP session history, and circuit event audit trails provide the evidence base required for compliance reporting, security investigations, and regulatory examinations.
Get Started
Your data should never travel a path you haven't approved. Lastcluster Direct Connect gives you a private, dedicated, and fully auditable network connection to your cloud.
