CloudConnectTM, a service that allows enterprises the
ability to leverage their dedicated and private connections to connect

“Enterprises are demanding private and secure connections to the cloud
to ensure optimal performance and scalability,” said Mark Winther, group
vice president and consulting partner of Worldwide Telecommunications at
IDC. “RingCentral CloudConnect helps eliminate the bottlenecks
associated with cloud access over the public internet and enables a
secure path for enterprises.”
While for most organizations Over-the-Top (OTT) for cloud connectivity
works perfectly well, some large enterprises are looking for a way to

to offer bandwidth up to 10Gbps per connection and redundancy options to
deploy in a cloud-redundant or geo-redundant fashion.
The addition of CloudConnect to RingCentral’s product portfolio is
designed for enterprises that require predictable network performance,
the ability to better manage network availability and reliability and
want additional security. Customers can also use CloudConnect to
establish connections in different global locations for international
reach and geo-redundancy.
“RingCentral’s CloudConnect makes it easy to establish a dedicated
network connection from your headquarters or large regional offices to
RingCentral,” said Curtis Peterson, senior vice president of operations
at RingCentral. “We’re pleased to offer our CloudConnect service to meet
the needs of enterprise customers, who often have bandwidth intensive
work environments and require fast performance and a connection to their
dedicated carrier-provided network.”
