Google Cloud Partner Interconnect. The Cloud just got one step closer.

Macquarie Cloud Services today announced support for Google Cloud Partner Interconnect, a service from Google Cloud that allows customers to connect to Google’s Cloud Platform from anywhere.

You can now choose Macquarie Cloud Services to provide connectivity and RFC1918 communications from their own sovereign Australian IC1, IC2 and IC4 Data Centres to the nearest Google edge point of presence. In addition, they will be able to select from a variety of subrate interface speeds varying from 200Mbps to 10Gbps. “Partner Interconnect gives Google Cloud customers even more choices for Hybrid environments” said John Veizades, product manager, Google Cloud. Customers with hybrid Cloud designs are in good company. 91% of all Australian organisations are, or plan to be, multi-cloud¹.

With Cloud Services Gateway for Google Cloud Partner Interconnect, your office, Colocated services, and LAUNCH^TM Hybrid and Private cloud services can all be connected directly to Google Cloud for:

• Increased security – your link is your own, and part of your wider defence-in-depth framework
• Lower latency – with a direct, known, short path straight from your service to Google
• Heavily reduced data egress charges. Interconnect enables you to transfer large pools of data between networks, which can be more cost effective than VPN tunnels or purchasing additional bandwidth over the public Internet

Connectivity is at the heart of everything we do.
