Understanding Direct Connect

Direct Connect is a dedicated network connection service utilized to establish a private and high-bandwidth connection between an on-premises network and a cloud service provider, such as Amazon Web Services (AWS) or Microsoft Azure. This direct and secure connection bypasses the public internet, offering enhanced reliability, lower latency, and increased security compared to traditional internet-based connections.
