Enterprise IT is rapidly decentralizing. As workloads shift across hybrid cloud and multi-cloud workflows, relying on the unpredictable public internet is a massive vulnerability. At Element Critical, we serve as your high-performance central hub, seamlessly connecting your enterprise data to the world’s leading cloud and SaaS providers.
Whether you are bursting hybrid enterprise workloads or transferring multi-terabyte datasets for AI and GPU-
accelerated pipelines, EC Cloud Connect delivers the ultra-low latency required for high-density compute. By bypassing
public routing, your data moves directly between your colocation footprint and public cloud storage at maximum
speed.
Unpredictable internet performance is more than just an operational headache. It is a financial liability. High-volume
data transfers across the public internet result in exorbitant egress fees from major cloud providers. By shifting your
strategy to Element Critical’s direct, private cloud on-ramps, you actively optimize your network economics. Our direct cloud connections drastically reduce standard data transfer costs, allowing you to reinvest those savings back into your core infrastructure.
Managing cloud complexity shouldn’t require manual routing through a dozen different providers. Element Critical
leverages a powerful Software Defined Network (SDN) to put the control directly in your hands.
Order new connections through a self-service portal and instantly scale your capacity in tandem with your bandwidth requirements. Provision connections to any cloud endpoint in minutes, not months.
Mask geographic complexity through advanced virtualization. Establish highly secure, low-latency connections to multiple Cloud Providers, SaaS Platforms, and Network Service Providers from a single physical port.
Shrink your attack surface instantly. Our direct, private cloud connections ensure your mission-critical data never touches the public internet, protecting your core systems with enterprise-grade reliability.
Scale capacity dynamically with full operational oversight through a Cloud Connect portal.
Unlike software-only connection brokers, EC Cloud Connect is deployed within our data center facilities. Our on-site operations teams provide 24/7 monitoring, rapid cross-connect readiness, and hands-on remote support to guarantee uptime.
A data center cloud on-ramp is a direct, private physical or virtual network connection that links your colocation infrastructure directly to major public clouds (like AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud) and SaaS providers, entirely bypassing the public internet for faster, more secure data transfer.
Major public cloud providers charge significantly lower egress fees when data is transferred over a private, direct connection rather than the public internet. By utilizing Element Critical’s cloud on-ramps, high-volume users instantly reduce their cloud networking costs.
AI and GPU-accelerated workloads require moving massive amounts of data between colocation infrastructure and public cloud environments. EC Cloud Connect provides private, low-latency cloud on-ramps that accelerate dataset transfers, eliminate public internet bottlenecks, and reduce egress fees when moving data between AI clusters and cloud storage providers.
Yes. Element Critical utilizes a robust Software Defined Network (SDN) that allows enterprises to manage hybrid-cloud and multi-cloud workflows seamlessly. Through a single physical connection in our data center, you can virtually provision and manage secure connections to multiple different cloud and SaaS providers simultaneously.
