Recommended solutions for media and entertainment
Dedicated Internet Access
Dedicated internet access (DIA) is a private, symmetrical fiber connection with guaranteed bandwidth and a service level agreement, so the speed you buy is the speed you get at all hours.
Wavelength Services
Wavelength services provide dedicated, very high-capacity optical circuits, typically 10 Gbps to 400 Gbps, between data centers and major sites.
Cloud Connect
Cloud connect services provide private, dedicated links from your network to public cloud platforms such as AWS, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud.
5G and LTE Wireless Internet
Cellular wireless internet uses 4G LTE and 5G networks to bring a location online in days, as a primary link, a temporary bridge or an automatic backup.
Private and Hybrid Cloud
Private and hybrid cloud infrastructure as a service provides dedicated or virtualized compute, storage and networking managed in a provider's data centers.
DDoS Mitigation
DDoS mitigation detects and filters distributed denial-of-service attacks before they overwhelm your internet connection, website or applications.
