Global Connect

Global Connect is a connection via a partner cloud aggregator (with guaranteed access speed) of any global cloud platform to the infrastructure within Selectel, built on the basis of the following Selectel products: Dedicated servers, Colocation, Cloud platform, Cloud powered by VMware. Lists of connectable global cloud platforms are available on the websites of the partner operators.

A pre-configured, reserved connection between Selectel and partner operators is used to establish the connection. In Europe, connectivity is accomplished through cloud aggregators that provide a reserved connection to global clouds. The connection has high bandwidth and is only used to enable Selectel Connect services. The network connectivity in the connection between partner infrastructures and Selectel is provided by allocating VLANs, and a Selectel global router (formerly L3VPN) is created within the Selectel infrastructure.

Selectel takes up to three working days to establish the connection.
