Extend your data center with a dedicated network connection to Amazon Web Services Direct Connect, Google Cloud Platform Partner Interconnect, and/or Microsoft Azure ExpressRoute. Internet2’s Cloud Connect offers direct connections by combining your regional network and the Internet2 high-speed national network. Four geographically diverse connection points ensure the best performance.

Don’t need the dedicated network offered through Cloud Connect? The Internet2 Peer Exchange provides robust access to the same three cloud providers as Cloud Connect and many other cloud providers, including multiple high-capacity paths for virtual private networks.

However you connect to cloud providers, access control and security are essential. Through InCommon, Internet2 offers a suite of identity and access management tools developed by the community specifically for research and education.

Need to explore the cloud solutions themselves? Internet2 has community-developed agreements in place with both Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud Platform through the NET+ program.
