Shift to the next generation infrastructure networks that achive seamless connection of Digital Infrastructures.
PrivateConnect connects your on-premise environment and IDC Frontier's Data Centers or clouds easily and quickly using the secure and reliable closed network.
Features
Secure connection using a closed VPN
A closed network gives you a secure environment with no direct access from the Internet, while connecting multiple sets of infrastructures.
You can have your systems highly configurable
The communication layer supports L2 connections, as well as L3 which provides reliable IP routing.

Use Cases
OnPremise x Cloud
OnPremise x Cloud
Data integration with or cloud migration of the mission-critical system
Connect the information system and a public cloud with closed network without going through the Internet, and operate it as hybrid. Optimization of resource usage, phased migration to cloud.
Cloud x Data Center
Cloud x Data Center
Hybrid usage of Data Center and Cloud services
Data requiring strict control is kept in the physical environment of a Data Center, accessed rapidly from Cloud through the closed network. Reduce device costs by migrating firewals and servers to the cloud.
Cloud Migration
Cloud Migration
"Pick the best" of every cloud
Web services or game apps which runs among more than one public clouds, such as IDCF Cloud and Private Cloud, sharing the same customer database.
Redundancy/Global Load Balancing
Redundancy/Global Load Balancing
By connecting different regions, you can configure a system of global load balancing cloud. You can avoid getting impacted by physical system faults. Using with GSLB (Global Server Load Balancing) enables you to have measures for BCP or DR, including load balancing and automatic switchover to the backup site.
