Google Cloud Dedicated Interconnect

Open Coconut is a Google Cloud Dedicated Interconnect. As such our team of network engineer experts can help you to build the missing bridge between your on-prem infrastructure and your Google Cloud infrastructure.

Thanks to our platform you can deploy connect your hybrid infrastructure in less than a minute. However if you feel more comfortable to talk to one of our experts, feel free to reach out. We will be happy to answer all questions you might have before proceeding.

When it comes to interconnect these two worlds, it's important to take into account all the aspects in order to cover all the gaps.

Benefits

Here are few benefits of using Open Coconut for your Dedicated Interconnect Connection:

• The physical ports are yours, so it means they are not shared with other customers (unlike Google Cloud Partner Interconnect)
• Your traffic is securely transported over our international backbone
• We support bandwidth from 1mbps to 10Gbps with increment of 1mbps
• Your data will benefit of the lowest latency path between your on-prem infra and your Google Cloud infra
• We are multi-providers, it means if the performance you're looking for are not met, you can switch over another path/provider
• Your traffic will be DDoS free
• 24/7 support available at no extra costs

Architecture

There are two types of architectures that exist:

• Single Google Cloud Dedicated Interconnect
• Redundant Google Cloud Dedicated Interconnect

We always advise our customers to go for the Redundant Google Cloud Dedicated Interconnect as this provides the most resilient solution. So if there is a hardware issue at either sides of the connection, the redundant path can take over and carry your traffic as if no outages had happened.

Single Google Cloud Dedicated Interconnect

This architecture relies on a single port on Google Cloud side and a single port on Open Coconut side (facing the customer). As you can see if there is an issue with an equipment at Google or Open Coconut or even at your on-prem site, the traffic will be disrupted.

So this scenario is advised for non-critical traffic only.

Redundant Google Cloud Dedicated Interconnect

This architecture relies on deploying a set of 2 ports at Google side, 2 ports at Open Coconut side (facing Google) and 2 ports at the customer's side. The service will be deployed between these pair of ports. Bandwidth is dedicated to a single customer's use, end to end, from 1mbps and up to 10000mbps.

With the Redundant Google Cloud Dedicated Interconnect, if the primary path (in green) fails, the backup path (in red) is ready to take over within a few milliseconds.

This scenario is advised for critical traffic, that must be up and running 24/7.

Note on this design:

• The customer side could be distributed over two physical locations and connected together (eventually by Open Coconut Networks or by the mean of another provider)
• The second Cloud Router in the EDGE location of Google Cloud is not strictly necessary as the dedicated interconnect in this location could be attach to the existing Cloud Router in the region where the VPC resides
• This design is just to demonstrate one of the solution Open Coconut Networks can put in place, but the final design always depends on the customer's needs and we're here to help
