To ensure the highest levels of speed, security, and reliability, AccountTECH leverages Optical Cross-Connect (OCX) connections to link our AWS-hosted infrastructure with your SQL Server data at CoreSite. This direct connection provides a high-speed, secure solution for managing the flow of data between our darwin.Cloud and on-premises servers.
Why We Use OCX Connections Between AWS and Our SQL Servers at CoreSite
To ensure the highest levels of speed, security, and reliability, AccountTECH transmits using Optical Cross-Connect (OCX) connections to link our AWS-hosted infrastructure with SQL server data servers at CoreSite. This direct connection provides a high-speed, private, secure highway for managing the flow of data between our AWS hosted API servers and on-premises environment.
The Advantages of OCX Connections:
-
Ultra-Low Latency for Maximum Speed
The OCX connection establishes a dedicated high-speed link, eliminating the delays associated with public internet traffic. This ensures:Faster data transfers, enabling real-time between your key strokes in darwin.Cloud and your data stored in SQL servers at Coresite.
The ability to handle high volumes of traffic seamlessly, even during peak usage.
-
Enhanced Security
By bypassing the public internet, OCX connections offer a private, secure pathway for sensitive data. This protects against:Unauthorized access and interception.
Potential vulnerabilities that could arise from using traditional internet connections.
Consistent Performance
Unlike internet-based connections, which can be impacted by congestion and unpredictable routing, OCX guarantees consistent and predictable performance, which is essential for mission-critical applications like darwin.Cloud.
Why CoreSite and AWS?
CoreSite provides a reliable on-premises data center environment with state-of-the-art facilities and proximity to key cloud regions.
AWS offers unparalleled scalability and flexibility in the cloud, enabling us to combine the strengths of both environments.
The OCX connection ensures these two infrastructures work in harmony, enabling fast and secure interactions between AWS API cloud servers and on-premises databases.
The Result: A Secure, High-Speed Hybrid Infrastructure
By using OCX connections, we provide our customers and internal teams with a hybrid infrastructure that balances the scalability of the cloud with the control of on-premises systems—while enhancing both speed or security. This investment in advanced connectivity is expensive, but it ensures that we can deliver reliable, secure, and efficient services every step of the way.
