What it is

PacketFabric is a web and API network-services platform for on-demand cloud access, Internet connectivity, and point-to-point links. Its hybrid cloud service offers hosted and dedicated connections from hundreds of data centers to cloud and SaaS providers, at 50Mbps to 100Gbps. PacketFabric describes a private optical network exceeding 65 Tbps, while each network port supports up to 4,000 virtual circuits. Listed partners include AWS Direct Connect, Google Cloud Interconnect, Azure ExpressRoute, IBM Direct Link, Oracle FastConnect, Salesforce Express Connect, Markley, and Webair. Customers can provision services, including Internet Exchange connections, through a self-service portal or automate them with a standards-based REST API and Terraform provider. The service supports multicloud connectivity, infrastructure as code, VPN management, and network monitoring. Cloud connectivity requires a physical cross-connect between customer equipment and the access port. Dedicated connections also need a cloud-provider LOA and may take several days. Pricing is handled in the portal, with terms from month-to-month to 36 months.
