Cloud Direct

Direct, private connections between ZERO and your cloud – no middlemen.

Evolving Cloud Direct enables secure, high-throughput connections from the evolving ZERO platform to your cloud or partner environments via physical or virtual cross-connects in shared datacentre facilities.

Unlike Cloud VPN or Interconnect, Cloud Direct doesn’t rely on the public internet or a provider’s backbone. Instead, it uses private Layer 2 or Layer 3 handoffs – typically within colocation environments – to link your infrastructure directly into the ZERO fabric. Ideal for colocated workloads, private clouds, partner services, or high-speed east-west data flows.

Extra-low latency

With Cloud Direct, you get deterministic performance, complete control over routing, and full Zero Trust enforcement – without the overhead of tunnelling or reliance on third-party backbone policies.
