Introducing our new cloud partner: Vultr.

We recently welcomed Vultr to the Console Connect ecosystem. In this blog we share some insights into our new cloud partner and explain how Console Connect can privately connect businesses on-demand to Vultr cloud services globally. 

Who is Vultr? 

Founded in 2014, Vultr is on a mission to empower developers and businesses with its own suite of robust cloud infrastructure offerings. 

Run by a small team of industry veterans, Vultr is strategically located in 32 cloud data centres around the globe through partnerships with the likes of Digital Realty, GTT, Interxion, and Equinix, and provides public cloud services and single-tenant bare metal servers. 

With a focus on speed and ease of use, Vultr customers can spin up a high performance SSD VPS (Virtual Private Server on a Solid State Drive), and develop on the location closest to you before deploying at the locations closest to your customers, whether that’s Tokyo or London or any of their other 32 locations.

In September 2022, Vultr launched in cloud data centre locations in Bangalore and Delhi NCR, to complement an existing Mumbai presence, giving it more regions within India than AWS, Google, or any of the other global independent clouds.

Over the last six months, the company has made an effort to expand its global footprint, particularly in underserved regions of the world, with a point of presence in Johannesburg, South Africa, followed by Santiago, Chile, Osaka, Japan, and most recently in Tel Aviv, Israel. 

What is Vultr Direct Connect?

Vultr Direct Connect is a physical Ethernet connection, setting up Layer 2 connectivity from Vultr to your own network. 

This means companies can bypass the public internet and extend their corporate or co-located infrastructure environment to both public and private Vultr compute resources across the globe, ideal for decreased latency and higher network performance. 

Benefits of a private connection include: 

• Applications that transfer data via the public internet can be slow and unreliable. Private connections deliver guaranteed bandwidth and a minimal number of hops.
• For bandwidth-heavy applications, a direct connection can significantly cut costs. 
• By using a trusted network partner like Console Connect, your data keeps safe.
