General information about the Direct Connect service
Direct Connect is a connection between external network infrastructure and infrastructure within Servercore. With Direct Connect, you can connect equipment in a Servercore data center to any external infrastructure, as well as connect to the internet through a telecom operator in a Servercore data center.
Servercore's infrastructure may include dedicated and cloud servers, cloud databases, Managed Kubernetes cluster nodes, file storage.
How it works
A port is provided on a Servercore access switch. This port is used to connect a telecom operator line that leads to your external infrastructure or provides internet access. Equipment used to set up the connection depends on the bandwidth—1 or 10 Gbps—as well as the connection type: copper or optical.
To set up network connectivity between a telecom operator and your equipment within Servercore infrastructure, a global router is used. The operator line is connected to a port on the access switch. Connectivity with your equipment is organized at the L3 level via the global router. A direct connection of the telecom operator line to your equipment is not supported.
You choose the telecom operator yourself, lease and pay for the line, and verify the cross-connect to the operator. To connect to external infrastructure, the selected operator must be present at the facility where the external infrastructure is located and in the availability zone where the Servercore switch is located.

Pricing
The cost of the Direct Connect — physical port service depends on:
- port speed — 1 or 10 Gbps;
- whether you need redundant channels.
You can view pricing for the Direct Connect—physical port service at servercore.com.
If you need a telecom operator line or a cross-connect to connect to a physical port, these services are paid for separately.
