Cloud & EPL Connectivity

Your infrastructure doesn’t end at your router. We engineer the connections that tie it all together — on-premise, in the cloud, and everywhere in between.

The Cloud Is Only as Good as the Network That Gets You There.

The public internet is a remarkable piece of engineering. It is also fundamentally unsuitable for carrying your most business-critical traffic to the cloud.

Variable latency. Unpredictable routing. Shared infrastructure. Best-effort delivery. These are acceptable trade-offs for casual traffic — they are not acceptable for database replication, financial transaction processing, real-time collaboration platforms, or any workload where performance and availability are non-negotiable.

Dedicated cloud connectivity changes the equation entirely. AWS Direct Connect, Azure ExpressRoute, Google Cloud Interconnect — these are private, high-bandwidth, SLA-backed connections that bypass the public internet and put you in direct control of how your traffic reaches its destination.

At AMROTS, we don’t just know the theory — we know the ecosystem. We have deep, practical experience working with Points of Presence (PoPs), Carrier Hotels, and Cloud On-Ramp providers like Megaport — the companies and facilities that sit at the heart of how dedicated connectivity is actually provisioned and delivered. That knowledge makes the difference between a connectivity project that runs smoothly and one that stalls for months waiting on circuits that nobody is managing.

Understanding Your Connectivity Options

The dedicated connectivity landscape has evolved significantly over the last decade. What was once a world of long lead-time circuits ordered through a handful of telcos is now a rich ecosystem of options — from traditional carrier circuits to software-defined Network-as-a-Service fabrics that can provision cloud connectivity in minutes. Navigating this landscape intelligently requires knowing not just what each product does, but where PoPs are located, which carrier hotels provide the best reach, and how Cloud On-Ramp providers like Megaport fit into a broader connectivity strategy.

Cloud Direct Interconnects

AWS Direct Connect, Azure ExpressRoute, and Google Cloud Interconnect provide dedicated, private connectivity between your infrastructure and the world’s three largest cloud platforms. Consistent latency, guaranteed bandwidth, and SLA-backed availability — all without a single packet touching the public internet. We design, deploy, and manage these connections end to end.

Cloud On-Ramp Providers

Cloud On-Ramp providers like Megaport operate a global software-defined fabric that interconnects major cloud platforms, Carrier Hotels, and internet exchanges. Instead of ordering a separate dedicated circuit to each cloud provider, you connect once to the Megaport fabric and provision virtual connections to AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and others in minutes — from a single physical port. We have hands-on experience with Megaport’s platform and know how to get the most out of it.

Points of Presence (PoPs)

A Point of Presence is a physical location where a carrier or cloud provider has infrastructure — routers, switches, cross-connects — that you can connect to. Choosing the right PoP for your connectivity needs depends on geography, available providers, latency to your target destinations, and co-location options nearby. PoP strategy is one of those things that looks simple on a diagram and turns out to be enormously consequential in practice.

Carrier Hotels

Carrier Hotels — also known as internet exchanges and co-location facilities — are the neutral ground where carriers, cloud providers, content networks, and enterprises meet and interconnect. Buildings like Equinix, Digital Realty, and their regional equivalents house the physical infrastructure that underpins a huge proportion of the world’s internet connectivity. Knowing which Carrier Hotel to co-locate in, and how to connect to the providers present there, is fundamental to building a serious connectivity strategy.

The move to dedicated cloud connectivity

Why Enterprises Are Moving Away From Internet-Based Cloud Connectivity

The public internet works well for most things. It does not work well for enterprise cloud workloads that have real performance, availability, and security requirements. Here’s why

Latency

Consistent and deterministic — the same at 2pm on a Monday as at 2am on a Sunday.

Bandwidth

Guaranteed — dedicated bandwidth that doesn't degrade when others are busy.

Security

Private circuit — your traffic never touches the public internet

Reliability

Carrier-grade SLA with defined availability targets and fault response commitments

Visibility

Full — you own the routing policy and have complete visibility of traffic paths

Our Cloud & EPL Connectivity Process

How We Engineer Your Cloud & EPL Connectivity

We provide the best services, ensuring your outstanding growth

Requirements, Assessment & Architecture

We map your existing infrastructure and cloud usage, assess PoP and Carrier Hotel options in your region, evaluate Cloud On-Ramp providers including Megaport, and design a connectivity architecture that meets your performance, redundancy, and budget requirements. Provider options and delivery timelines are assessed realistically — no promises we can't keep.

Provider Selection & Circuit Ordering

We engage your chosen provider — whether a traditional telco, a Carrier Hotel co-location facility, or Megaport — manage the circuit ordering process, and track delivery milestones. Cross-connect and MMR scheduling, LOA coordination, and test and turn-up planning are all handled on your behalf.

BGP Configuration & End-to-End Testing

On circuit handover, we configure BGP sessions and routing policy — applying the designed traffic engineering, redundancy, and failover logic. We test connectivity and failover behaviour thoroughly under both primary and backup conditions before declaring the service live.

Documentation, Handover & Ongoing Management

Full as-built documentation is produced and handed over — circuit details, BGP configuration, routing policy, IP addressing, and runbooks. Knowledge transfer is provided to your team. Ongoing monitoring, managed operations, and BGP management are available for clients who want continued AMROTS involvement post-deployment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Some frequently asked questions about the service that you may have questions about

What is a Cloud On-Ramp provider and why would I use one?

A Cloud On-Ramp provider like Megaport operates a global, software-defined network fabric that connects cloud platforms, Carrier Hotels, internet exchanges, and enterprise locations. Instead of ordering a separate dedicated circuit to each cloud provider — which means multiple contracts, multiple lead times, and multiple BGP sessions to manage — you connect once to the Megaport fabric through a single physical port and provision virtual connections to AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and others on demand. For organisations using multiple cloud providers, it's often faster, cheaper, and operationally simpler than traditional dedicated circuits to each provider individually.

What is a Carrier Hotel and why does it matter?

A Carrier Hotel — also called a co-location facility or internet exchange — is a neutral facility that houses the physical infrastructure of carriers, cloud providers, content networks, and enterprises. Buildings like Equinix, Digital Realty, and their regional equivalents are where the world's networks interconnect. Co-locating in the right Carrier Hotel puts you physically close to the providers you need to connect to — reducing cross-connect lead times, lowering latency, and opening up peering and interconnection options that aren't available elsewhere. Choosing the right facility is a strategic decision, not just a practical one.

What is the difference between EPL and a cloud direct interconnect?

An Ethernet Private Line connects two physical locations via a dedicated layer 2 circuit — typically used for site-to-site WAN connectivity between your own facilities. A cloud direct interconnect connects your infrastructure to a cloud provider's network directly — AWS Direct Connect, Azure ExpressRoute, or Google Cloud Interconnect. Both are private and bypass the public internet; they serve different connectivity purposes. Many organisations use both — EPL for site interconnection and direct interconnects for cloud access.

Should I use Megaport or order a direct interconnect from my cloud provider?

It depends on your specific situation. If you're connecting to a single cloud provider and have a co-location presence near a cloud PoP, a direct interconnect is often straightforward. If you're connecting to multiple cloud providers, need flexibility to change bandwidth or providers without long lead times, or want to avoid managing multiple provider relationships, Megaport's fabric is often the better choice. We'll give you an honest assessment of both options for your specific environment.

How long does circuit delivery typically take?

Traditional dedicated circuit delivery typically takes 4 to 12 weeks depending on provider and location — sometimes longer in regions with limited availability. Megaport virtual connections can be provisioned in minutes once the physical port is in place. Physical port installation at a Megaport-enabled facility typically takes 2 to 4 weeks. Managing these timelines and keeping delivery on track is one of the most valuable things we do during a connectivity project.

Can you manage our cloud connectivity on an ongoing basis after deployment?

Yes — ongoing management of your cloud and EPL connectivity is available as part of our managed operations service. We monitor circuit health, BGP session stability, traffic utilisation, and failover readiness — and manage routing policy changes as your cloud environment evolves. Many clients retain us for ongoing management after deployment, particularly where Megaport VXC changes or BGP policy updates are needed regularly.
