BT is partnering with Oracle to help organizations across the world to be able to leverage the high performance, reliability, and security features of the BT Cloud Connect environment to gain direct connectivity to the Oracle Cloud. BT will connect directly to Oracle’s Cloud locations in Amsterdam and London, giving customers access from anywhere in the world to services provided in European data centers. Through pre-provisioning via BT Cloud Connect, BT said that it can cut the typical dedicated connection deployment time from months to days.
While organizations understand the promise and many benefits of the cloud, many are concerned about security and performance issues associated with cloud technologies. This is especially true for business-critical enterprise workloads that frequently demand high levels of availability, security and performance. Together, BT and Oracle are aiming to remove those barriers to cloud adoption by providing options for connectivity from hybrid enterprise data centers to the Oracle Cloud.
With BT Cloud Connect for Oracle FastConnect, customers can use a private connection based on BT’s IP Connect VPN service to securely and consistently exchange large volumes of data between the Oracle Cloud and their own on-premises environment.
