Overview

Service Overview

Cloud WAN is a service that provides network connections between Samsung Cloud Platform global regions and customer bases. This product provides services based on network traffic usage, and provides differentiated operation management services according to the selected service level.

Cloud WAN service consists of Cloud WAN Network, which is a customer virtual backbone, Segment, which provides logical network separation by purpose, and Attachment, which connects Samsung Cloud Platform Compute resources or receives a dedicated line from the customer’s business site and connects it to the Segment.

For example, to configure a backbone network connection from a system in the Samsung Cloud Platform region to a customer’s overseas base, the following settings are required in the user console. First, create a customer virtual backbone Cloud WAN Network. Next, select the access location, service level, and contract period to create a segment that suits the purpose. Then, by connecting the attachment to the segment in the relevant region or customer base, the backbone network between the relevant SCP region and the customer base is connected, allowing communication between them.
