Elastic Interconnect

Take control of the Internet

‘Digitalisation’ and ‘moving to the cloud’. We’re all involved in the process, and the decisions we make today are fundamental for tomorrow. But how do you know you are making the right decisions? What exactly is the right strategy in a world that is moving so fast? Obviously, no one knows the future. But when it comes to internet, one thing is certain: speed and flexibility will always remain highly valuable elements.

For end-users interested in best-class Internet services as well as Cloud Connect and/or Saas Connect services, NL-ix offers a unique integrated service called Elastic Interconnect. Elastic Interconnect takes the uncertainty out of the Internet, tailoring a range of connectivity services to your needs.

Elastic Interconnect gives you the freedom to make the architectural adjustments needed to support digital transformation without changing the basic architecture of your business network. For flexibility and scalability, different levels of bandwidth are available that grow when you need them. The flexible and scalable foundation of Elastic Interconnect, combined with full network visibility and traffic segmentation capabilities, lets you unlock the ‘black box’ of the Internet and take complete control.

Traffic segmentation (slicing)
One of the most distinctive features of Elastic Interconnect is its ability to segment the Internet traffic before the traffic enters the corporate network. The 'Trusted Traffic Slice', creates a separate connection for networks that are important to your organisation and allows different “policy domains”. Traffic in the Trusted Traffic Slice is completely separated from 'normal' Internet traffic. This part of the traffic is therefore much less susceptible to DDoS attacks. In addition, these ports cannot be scanned from untrusted networks.

Clean-IX

Clean IX is a powerful service for DDoS mitigation, and it is constantly improved to keep ahead of the latest attack techniques. Normally the problem is detected and solved in a matter of minutes, well before the customer even sees it. If a customer is under attack, the attacked traffic is scrubbed clean and then re-routed back over a separate VLAN to the customer.

Clean IX is a cutting-edge collaborative anti-DDOS service offered by NL-ix and supported by NaWas, the anti-DDoS service provided by NBIP.
