Enterprises using cloud, hybrid cloud and colocations solutions from any of the cloud and/or data center providers connected to Secure Cloud Interconnect can take advantage of Verizon’s Private IP networking solution that features consumption-based bandwidth, pre-provisioned on-demand resources, controlled application performance, multiple classes of service and usage-based billing models.

Rapid, on-demand provisioning via a centralized online portal reduces deployment time and maintenance requirements for Secure Cloud Interconnect customers.
