The routing problem
Connecting multiple clouds and sites usually means placing a router somewhere to exchange routes between them — typically in your own data center. That router becomes a dependency: you buy it, rack it, power it, patch it and replace it.
A virtual alternative
Peer1ix Cloud Router runs inside the Peer1IX network. You create a routing instance and attach virtual circuits to it: one to each cloud, one to each data center, one to each partner. The router runs BGP with each endpoint and routes traffic between them.
What you control
- Which prefixes each connection may announce and receive.
- Route preferences and failover behaviour.
- Which connections can talk to each other.
Why it helps
- Traffic between clouds no longer detours through your data center.
- New connections are added in software.
- The router is managed and redundant, so you are not on the hook for hardware failures.
Typical uses
Multi-cloud routing, branch-to-cloud designs, partner extranets and migrations between platforms.
