Multicloud Network Connectivity: Direct & Simplified

TABLE OF CONTENTS:

As cloud strategies mature, most enterprises are no longer relying on a single provider. Instead, they’re distributing workloads across multiple clouds to enhance resilience, improve performance, and avoid vendor lock-in. This shift has become the norm rather than the exception. 

In fact, 87% of enterprises now operate in a multi-cloud environment, combining public and private cloud platforms to run critical services (source: Flexera 2024 State of the Cloud Report). While this architecture offers greater control and agility, it also brings new networking challenges—particularly in enabling seamless, secure, and high-performance connectivity between disparate cloud environments. 

Conventional methods, such as public internet routing or site-to-site VPNs, introduce latency, increase operational overhead, and lack the visibility required for effective network management. These limitations become more pronounced as it relies on real-time data exchange across providers like AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. 

The growing complexity of multi cloud network connectivity calls for a simpler, more predictable architecture—one that enables direct cloud-to-cloud communication, reduces latency, and scales efficiently with business needs. That’s where solutions like Orixcom CloudConnect are redefining how multi-cloud networks are built and managed in the Middle East and beyond. 

Why Legacy Cloud Connectivity Fails in a Multi-Cloud World 

While multi-cloud adoption continues to accelerate, most businesses still rely on legacy connectivity models that were never designed for inter-cloud performance. These models introduce inefficiencies that limit the very benefits multi-cloud aims to deliver. 

• High Latency and Inefficient Routing 

Routing cloud-to-cloud traffic over the public internet often results in unpredictable paths and unnecessary hops, increasing latency and degrading application performance. Site-to-site VPNs might offer basic encryption, but they don’t address performance inconsistency or the limitations of best-effort internet routing. This becomes a major concern for real-time workloads—such as collaboration tools, analytics, or transactional systems—where even minor delays can impact user experience and business outcomes.

• Security and Visibility Limitations 

Without a unified, purpose-built framework, traditional multi-cloud networking not only limits performance and agility but also creates significant barriers to effective multi cloud network connectivity.
