Cloud Usage and Management Trends: Where’s the Money Going?
Read white paper: Cloud Usage and Management Trends: Where’s the Money Going?
High-capacity connectivity between sites, data centers and clouds
Some workloads need more than standard internet routing. They need raw bandwidth and control. When you are moving massive datasets, replicating servers for disaster recovery or connecting your data centers, you can’t afford the latency variations or congestion of the public internet. You need a pipe that’s yours, ensuring your data gets where it needs to go, fast and secure.
GTT Ethernet services provide private, high-capacity links across regions. Whether you need to connect two office sites or link a data center to a cloud provider, we deliver the dedicated throughput you need to keep your heavy-hitting applications running smoothly.
When bandwidth is the priority
Teams turn to Ethernet when the public internet just can’t cut it. Maybe you’ve hit a performance wall, or maybe security compliance demands a private line.
- You need clean Layer 2 connectivity to extend your LAN across multiple locations
- Your data backups are taking too long because your current bandwidth is choking
- You are tired of managing complex routing for traffic that just needs a straight path
- You need direct, high-speed access to cloud platforms or internet exchanges
GTT delivers Ethernet globally, backed by a strong backbone and clear SLAs. We give you the “heavy lifting” capacity your network needs, without the complexity.
With Ethernet, you can:
- Get clean Layer 2 connectivity that acts like a long cable between your sites
- Scale up to large capacity links (10Gbps, 100Gbps, and beyond) easily
- Simplify traffic handling by keeping your internal routing logic internal
- Access key cloud and exchange points privately and securely
The GTT difference
Performance without the noise
Sharing bandwidth is fine for email, but not for your most critical data flows. Oversubscribed
links mean your performance drops when everyone else gets online. That unpredictability is
a killer for real-time replication or large file transfers.
Without GTT
- You rely on oversubscribed links that slow down during peak times
- Performance fluctuates wildly, making it hard to plan capacity
- Your reach is limited to where your local provider has fiber
With GTT
- You get dedicated, high-capacity circuits that perform consistently 24/7
- Our global footprint lets you connect sites around the world on one network
- We offer optional cloud and Internet Exchange (IX) access on the same port
Results
Traffic flows without surprises. Your backups finish on time, your databases stay in sync and your users don’t complain about “the slow network” when accessing large files.
Global reach, local feel
Connecting sites in different countries often means stitching together contracts with multiple
carriers. This creates a management nightmare where you are stuck in the middle, translating
technical specs between vendors who don’t talk to each other.
Without GTT
- You have to manage relationships with different carriers in every region
- Troubleshooting a circuit issue involves multiple phone calls and finger-pointing
- You get different SLAs and billing formats for every link
With GTT
- GTT aggregates the best local access partners into one global service
- You get a single contract, a single SLA, and a single invoice for all your circuits
- Our team manages the end-toend path, so you don’t have to
Results
A global network that feels like a local one. It’s easier to manage, easier to budget for and easier to fix if something breaks.
How it works
1
Design
We look at your map. Our team helps you plan the endpoints, choose the right bandwidth for each link, and decide on the best protection options for redundancy.
2
Delivery
We handle the hard part. GTT coordinates the physical cross-connects or local loop builds with local providers. We configure the service, test the path, and hand it over only when it meets our standards.
3
Support
Our operations center constantly monitors the network, keeping an eye on your circuits, handling any underlying carrier maintenance and responding immediately to outages so your data keeps moving.
Our WAN portfolio
MPLS
Backed by end-to-end SLAs and high-speed broadband, our multiprotocol label switching services open up a connected network with leased lines for all your business locations, whether down the street or across the globe.
VPLS
Our VPLS services allow for any-to-any connectivity, expanding your business network’s reach anywhere in the world. This flexible and scalable solution gives you total network traffic control with no shared routing or IP addressing and real-time reporting.
Managed SD-WAN
Transform your WAN with dynamic network traffic management. SD-WAN technology benefits include flexibility, speed, security and cost control.
Our Gartner rating
Rely on serious bandwidth
Be done with the inconsistencies of shared connections. Ethernet delivers the power you need to get your sites connected properly.
