1: Infrastructure: GTT Unveils Access to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Through FastConnect
GTT Communications Inc., a leading provider of networking and security-as-a-service solutions for multinational organizations, has announced its new offering of connectivity to Oracle Cloud through Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) FastConnect. As a member of Oracle PartnerNetwork, GTT now enables customers to access OCI services, enhancing their cloud and networking capabilities.
Tom Major, Senior Vice President of Product and Technology at GTT, commented, “Multicloud environments are now the norm among most enterprises across all industries, which creates added complexity but also opportunities for more effective performance as these architectures mature.” With this new offering, GTT aims to simplify and optimize enterprise connectivity to Oracle’s cloud and AI services while offering flexible bandwidth Infrastructure options, scalability, and enhanced resiliency.
GTT’s connectivity offering leverages the GTT Envision platform, which combines the Infrastructure company’s global Tier 1 backbone. Envision simplifies the orchestration and management of global security, cloud, and networking solutions for enterprises. By incorporating this platform, GTT customers now have direct, reliable network access to Oracle Cloud, including more than 150 cloud and AI services such as Oracle Autonomous Infrastructure Database, which enables companies to unlock new opportunities for innovation and drive business growth.
OCI delivers best-in-class security, consistent high performance, and simple, predictable pricing, making it an attractive solution for organizations looking to streamline their cloud infrastructure. With Infrastructure GTT’s support, companies can quickly and efficiently move their enterprise workloads to the cloud, thanks to optimized connectivity and access to Oracle’s comprehensive suite of cloud services.
The integration of OCI FastConnect into GTT’s portfolio represents a significant Infrastructure advancement in its cloud connectivity capabilities. OCI FastConnect offers a dedicated, high-performance connection between a customer’s on-premise infrastructure and Oracle Cloud, bypassing the public internet for greater security, reliability, and consistent performance. This ensures that GTT customers can seamlessly integrate Oracle applications into their existing infrastructure, while benefiting from direct access to Oracle’s full range of cloud services.
“By providing access to OCI via FastConnect, GTT helps customers simplify and Infrastructure optimize their connectivity to Oracle’s cloud and AI services,” said Major. “We’re able to offer flexible bandwidth options, scalability, and increased resiliency, all of which are crucial in today’s fast-evolving multicloud environment.”
GTT’s broad portfolio of solutions includes SASE, SD-WAN, security, internet, voice, and other connectivity options. All of these services are built on GTT’s top-ranked global Tier 1 network, offering customers a comprehensive and unified technology platform. GTT Envision allows organizations to connect, orchestrate, virtualize, and automate their enterprise networks, ensuring they have the tools to meet the demands of the modern digital landscape.
As organizations increasingly shift toward multicloud environments, the ability to simplify connectivity and optimize cloud performance is becoming more critical than ever. GTT’s integration with Oracle Cloud through OCI FastConnect not only enhances connectivity but also streamlines access to a broad array of cloud services that drive operational efficiency and business innovation.
