General information about the Direct Connect service
Direct Connect is the connection of the external network infrastructure to the infrastructure within Servercore. With Direct Connect, you can connect the equipment in the Servercore data center to any external infrastructure, as well as connect to the Internet through the service provider in the Servercore data center.
Servercore's infrastructure may include dedicated and cloud servers, cloud databases, Managed Kubernetes cluster nodes, and file storage.
Principle of operation
A port on the Servercore Access Switch is provided. This port is used to connect the service provider's channel that leads to your external infrastructure or provides an Internet connection. The equipment used to establish the connection depends on the bandwidth - 1 Gbps or 10 Gbps, and the type of crossover - copper or optical.
A global router is used to organize network connectivity between the service provider and your equipment within the Servercore infrastructure. The carrier channel is connected to a port on the access switch. Connectivity to your equipment is organized at the L3 level through the Global Router. There is no direct connection of the carrier channel to your equipment.
You choose your own carrier, rent and pay for the channel, and check the cross-talk to the carrier. To communicate with the external infrastructure, the selected operator must be present at the site where the external infrastructure is located and in the availability zone where the Servercore switch is located.
