OCX connections are a private internet for darwin.Cloud

To ensure the highest levels of speed, security, and reliability, AccountTECH leverages Optical Cross-Connect (OCX) connections to link our AWS-hosted infrastructure with your SQL Server data at CoreSite. This direct connection provides a high-speed, secure solution for managing the flow of data between our darwin.Cloud and on-premises servers.

why we use OCX connections between AWS and our SQL servers at CoreSite

To ensure the highest levels of speed, security, and reliability, AccountTECH transmits using Optical Cross-Connect (OCX) connections to link our AWS-hosted infrastructure with SQL server data servers at CoreSite.

This direct connection provides a high-speed, private, secure highway for managing the flow of data between our AWS hosted API servers and on-premises environment.

AWS API servers

Cloud-hosted, load-balanced application logic.

1G OCX port

A dedicated connection that bypasses public internet traffic.

CoreSite SQL servers

On-premises data protected by redundant firewalls and network infrastructure.

the advantages of OCX connections

private connectivity built for critical workflows

ultra-low latency for maximum speed

The OCX connection establishes a dedicated high-speed link, eliminating the delays associated with public internet traffic.

Faster data transfers enable real-time interaction between darwin.Cloud and data stored in SQL servers at CoreSite, with capacity for high traffic volumes during peak usage.

enhanced security

By bypassing the public internet, OCX connections offer a private, secure pathway for sensitive data.

This protects against unauthorized access, interception, and potential vulnerabilities associated with traditional internet connections.

consistent performance

Unlike internet-based connections affected by congestion and unpredictable routing, OCX provides consistent and predictable performance.

That consistency is essential for mission-critical applications like darwin.Cloud.

the result: a secure, high-speed hybrid infrastructure

By using OCX connections, we provide our customers and internal teams with a hybrid infrastructure that balances the scalability of the cloud with the control of on-premises systems—while enhancing both speed or security.

CoreSite

CoreSite provides a reliable on-premises data center environment with state-of-the-art facilities and proximity to key cloud regions.

AWS

AWS offers unparalleled scalability and flexibility in the cloud, enabling us to combine the strengths of both environments.

The OCX connection ensures these two infrastructures work in harmony, enabling fast and secure interactions between AWS API cloud servers and on-premises databases. This investment in advanced connectivity is expensive, but it ensures that we can deliver reliable, secure, and efficient services every step of the way.
