IBM Direct Link

Enabling the foundation for hybrid cloud

IBM Direct Link products enable private, secure connections from your private architecture housed within a Digital Realty data centre.

  • Protect sensitive and regulated data to meet stringent compliance and security concerns
  • Backup and store massive amounts of data by provisioning a dedicated connection with predictable throughput
  • Optimise performance of hybrid cloud applications by avoiding the public Internet
