The internet as an underlay?

In recent years, many global companies have switched to cloud computing and hybrid working models. In this context, they are modernising their network architecture to meet a variety of requirements. These include scalability and flexibility, global access, security and compliance, support for decentralised data and applications, business continuity and stable network performance. In the course of their cloud transformation, more and more companies are considering the Internet as the best and most cost-effective alternative to traditional underlay networks such as MPLS. The reasons for this are not surprising, as the Internet is available almost everywhere, provides seamless access to cloud services and reduces overall complexity.

However, it is often overlooked that the internet does not guarantee SLAs (service level agreements) for parameters such as latency and packet loss. And compared to MPLS, the internet offers lower and inconsistent network performance, especially for long-distance connections.

Data traffic from location to location

For site-to-site connections, PIU optimises traffic between interconnected sites. We offer global network coverage with more than 500 points of presence (PoPs) and a cloud-agnostic backbone, enabling even widely separated sites to be seamlessly connected. This guarantees maximum performance, reliability and security for sites with critical requirements.

Data traffic from location to private cloud

For site-to-private cloud connections, PIU speeds up access to resources in private cloud environments. By establishing a path-optimised connection to the private cloud's VPN gateway, access to private cloud applications and the use of real-time data are significantly improved. In this way, PIU enables an excellent user experience.

Data traffic from location to public cloud

With site-to-public cloud connections, the potential lack of PoPs is not an issue thanks to Telekom's global, cloud-agnostic backbone. Self-learning algorithms ensure optimal performance of public cloud applications such as 0365 and Salesforce.
