What is Cloud & Data-Centre Connectivity?
Dollu Cloud & Data-Centre Connectivity gives your network a private path into the public cloud. Instead of sending replication, database calls, VDI sessions and voice over the internet and hoping, you connect once to Dollu - from an MPLS VRF, an Ethernet circuit, an SD-WAN edge or a cross-connect in a data centre - and we deliver private virtual circuits into AWS Direct Connect, Microsoft Azure ExpressRoute, Google Cloud Interconnect and Oracle Cloud FastConnect from on-ramp PoPs in Europe, North America, India and Asia-Pacific.
Latency to the cloud becomes an engineered number rather than a variable, and egress bills fall because hyperscalers charge less for data leaving over private interconnects than over the internet. Hosted connections from 50 Mbps to 10 Gbps and dedicated 10G or 100G ports are available per cloud, per region, and can be resized as workloads grow. Because the on-ramps sit on the same backbone as your MPLS and Ethernet services, a branch in Pune can reach an application in Azure South India or AWS Mumbai without traversing head office or the public internet.
The same fabric connects data centres to each other and to the clouds. We are present in the major colocation campuses in London, Frankfurt, Amsterdam, Ashburn, Mumbai and Singapore and in regional facilities across our footprint, so you can interconnect a private cage with a public cloud region, join two clouds through a cloud router for multi-cloud designs, or extend a data-centre VLAN to a disaster-recovery site - each as a virtual circuit on ports you already own.
Everything is provisioned through the Dollu network-on-demand portal and API. Once your physical port or VRF hand-off is in place, virtual circuits to any cloud or data centre are ordered, resized and removed in hours rather than weeks, billed monthly or, for temporary migrations and test environments, by the hour. Utilisation, latency probes and BGP session state are visible in the same portal, and our 24×7 NOC monitors every port and virtual circuit against the SLA.
Hybrid WAN: MPLS, internet and 5G under one SD-WAN policy.
Why choose Dollu for cloud connectivity.
The advantages of buying from a carrier that owns its network, interconnects and operations - rather than a reseller.
Predictable performance to the cloud
Private circuits with engineered latency and no internet congestion make cloud-hosted ERP, VDI, voice and storage behave like they are in your own data centre.
Lower egress bills
Hyperscalers discount data transfer over private interconnects; for data-heavy workloads the saving on egress often covers the cost of the circuit.
Private by design
Traffic never touches the public internet, MACsec is available on dedicated ports and your address space stays private end to end, which simplifies audit and compliance.
Multi-cloud without re-cabling
One physical port, many virtual circuits: add Azure alongside AWS, connect Oracle to Google Cloud through a cloud router or reach a new region without ordering new fibre.
Change in hours, not months
Provision, resize and tear down virtual circuits from the portal or API; spin up 10 Gbps for a migration weekend and drop back to 1 Gbps on Monday.
Capabilities in detail.
Everything included with Cloud & Data-Centre Connectivity - the platform features, options and controls you get from day one.
- 01
Hyperscaler on-ramps
AWS Direct Connect (hosted connections and dedicated ports), Azure ExpressRoute (Standard and Premium, Microsoft peering), Google Cloud Partner and Dedicated Interconnect and Oracle FastConnect, at Dollu on-ramp PoPs in each region.
- 02
Data-centre campus interconnect
Ports and cross-connects in the major colocation operators' campuses in London, Frankfurt, Amsterdam, Ashburn, Mumbai and Singapore plus regional facilities, with Layer-2 or Layer-3 virtual circuits between them.
- 03
Multi-cloud fabric
Virtual circuits between clouds and between clouds and data centres, a managed cloud router for Layer-3 route exchange between VPCs, VNets and on-premises networks, and per-VC bandwidth control.
- 04
Network-on-demand portal and API
Self-service ordering, resizing and deletion of virtual circuits, BGP session configuration, real-time utilisation and latency views, and REST API for infrastructure-as-code pipelines.
- 05
Integration with your Dollu WAN
Extend an MPLS VRF straight into a cloud VRF, terminate an Ethernet private line on a cloud port, or land SD-WAN tunnels on virtual edges reachable through the private on-ramp.
- 06
Resilience options
Dual ports on separate devices, on-ramps in two locations, LAG on dedicated ports, BFD-enabled BGP for fast failover, and hyperscaler-side redundancy designs that meet each provider's SLA prerequisites.
- 07
Encryption and segmentation
MACsec on 10G and 100G dedicated ports, IPsec overlays where required, and per-VC VLAN isolation so multiple business units or environments share ports without sharing traffic.
- 08
Visibility and cost control
Per-VC utilisation, latency and packet-loss probes to each cloud region, BGP state and route counts, egress-volume reporting to reconcile against cloud invoices, and monthly SLA reports.
- 09
Migration and hybrid architecture support
Design assistance for landing zones, hub-and-spoke and transit-gateway patterns, temporary high-bandwidth circuits for bulk migration and coordination with Dollu cloud and managed migration teams.
How it works.
From first conversation to live traffic - a tracked, engineer-led onboarding with a named owner at every step.
- Step 01
Plan
We map your workloads, cloud regions and data centres, agree bandwidth and resilience per connection and confirm the on-ramp locations and hand-off type.
- Step 02
Connect
Your physical port, cross-connect or MPLS VRF extension is delivered to the on-ramp PoP and validated; cloud-side resources such as ExpressRoute circuits or Direct Connect gateways are prepared.
- Step 03
Provision
Virtual circuits are created in the portal, BGP sessions established with each cloud, routes verified and latency baselines recorded, usually within 24 hours of the port being live.
- Step 04
Scale
Add clouds, regions and data centres or resize circuits on demand; the NOC monitors every port and VC, and your account manager reviews utilisation and egress quarterly.
MPLS, DIA, broadband or 4G/5G.
No single transport suits every site. Most Dollu WAN designs mix them - an SD-WAN overlay stitches the underlays together and steers voice and critical apps onto the best path.
| Dimension | MPLS / IP-VPN | Dedicated internet access | Business broadband | 4G / 5G |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SLA | Highest - end-to-end latency, jitter, packet-loss and availability targets | High - availability and repair time on the circuit; the wider internet path is best effort | Best effort; consumer-grade repair times | Best effort; dependent on radio coverage and cell load |
| QoS | End-to-end classes of service across the Dollu core | Dedicated, symmetrical bandwidth; QoS to the network edge only | Contended and asymmetric; no QoS guarantees | Shared spectrum; private 5G adds on-site QoS and slicing |
| Cost position | Highest per Mbps | Mid | Lowest | Low - per SIM plus data |
| Lead time | Longest - new fibre and cross-connects; weeks to months | Weeks; faster where the building is already lit | Days to weeks | Days - hardware ships and activates on power-up |
| Best for | Voice-critical sites, regulated data, hub-and-spoke WANs | Head offices, data centres, cloud on-ramps, SIP trunks | Small sites, backup paths, SD-WAN underlay | Rapid deployment, temporary sites, resilience overlay, IoT and fleets |
Who uses this and why.
Typical deployments across carriers, enterprises, platforms and contact centres.
Cloud migration and hybrid IT
Move workloads to AWS, Azure, Google Cloud or Oracle over private, high-bandwidth circuits, then run steady-state hybrid architectures with predictable performance.
Data-intensive and AI workloads
Feed cloud analytics, data lakes and GPU clusters from on-premises data at 10G or 100G with low latency and materially lower egress cost.
Backup and disaster recovery
Replicate to cloud storage or a secondary data centre over private circuits with the throughput and consistency that recovery objectives require.
Regulated industries
Banking, healthcare and public-sector organisations that must keep data off the public internet and evidence private, encrypted paths for auditors.
SaaS and multi-cloud platforms
Interconnect services running in several clouds and colocation sites through a single fabric, with API-driven provisioning that fits infrastructure-as-code.
Cloud contact centre and UC
Private paths from sites to cloud-hosted CCaaS, UCaaS and Microsoft Teams so voice and video quality is not hostage to internet conditions.
