What is OCI FastConnect?

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) FastConnect revolutionizes cloud networking by offering enterprises a dedicated, high-performance network connection between their on-premises data centers and Oracle Cloud. This premium networking solution enables organizations to bypass the public internet, delivering consistent network performance with higher bandwidth options, lower latency, and enhanced security compared to standard internet-based connections. FastConnect provides flexible port speeds ranging from 1 Gbps to 100 Gbps, allowing businesses to scale their connectivity based on their specific needs while maintaining reliable and predictable network behavior. What sets FastConnect apart is its robust partner ecosystem, featuring numerous network service providers and exchange partners worldwide, making it easier for organizations to establish connections through their preferred telecommunications providers or directly at FastConnect locations.

 

The service supports both private peering for accessing OCI resources and public peering for accessing Oracle services like Object Storage and Oracle Autonomous Database, ensuring comprehensive cloud connectivity options. Organizations particularly benefit from FastConnect’s guaranteed service level agreements (SLAs), redundancy options for business continuity, and the ability to segregate traffic through multiple virtual circuits. For enterprises running mission-critical applications, handling sensitive data, or requiring consistent network performance, FastConnect serves as an essential component of their cloud infrastructure strategy, enabling them to harness the full potential of Oracle Cloud while maintaining the security and reliability standards demanded by modern business operations.

 

The service integrates seamlessly with OCI’s other networking features, including Virtual Cloud Networks (VCNs) and Dynamic Routing Gateway (DRG), creating a comprehensive networking solution that supports hybrid and multi-cloud architectures.
