However, connecting different cloud environments securely and efficiently is a major headache. Many businesses struggle with unpredictable latency and complex VPN setups to keep their distributed workloads running smoothly. Without a seamless solution, managing cloud connectivity becomes a costly and time-consuming burden. At DigitalOcean, we’re committed to helping to eliminate these challenges by making cloud networking simpler, more scalable, and more accessible. Today, we’re excited to introduce the general availability of DigitalOcean Partner Network Connect, a cross-cloud connectivity solution that enables more secure, high-performance networking between DigitalOcean and other cloud providers or on-premise data centers. With Partner Network Connect, growing businesses can establish direct, private connections between DigitalOcean and other cloud providers or on-premise data centers or co-location facilities—bypassing the public internet to help improve security, minimize latency, and increase network performance. By integrating with Megaport, a leading Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) provider, we’re helping our customers connect their distributed workloads across multiple clouds easily, reliably, and affordably. As businesses scale, they often deploy workloads across multiple cloud providers or maintain hybrid cloud environments. Until now, cloud customers had to rely on VPNs or self-managed solutions to connect these environments, which can be complex to set up, costly, and difficult to maintain. DigitalOcean Partner Network Connect helps eliminate these challenges for cloud-to-cloud and on-premise connectivity. Key benefits include: Improved latency: Low latency, high-bandwidth private connectivity (1 Gbps to 10 Gbps) for faster, more reliable performance across cloud and on-premise environments.
