Service Overview

Samsung Cloud Platform provides the Direct Connect service to support secure and fast connections between customer networks and the Samsung Cloud Platform environment.

Through Direct Connect, you can allocate and use the internal private network range of existing systems to Samsung Cloud Platform resources. You can place backend systems such as application servers in private network ranges without Internet access, and enhance security by applying Samsung Cloud Platform network services such as Security Groups.

Through Direct Connect, customers’ existing systems can naturally migrate to Samsung Cloud Platform even if they have IP hardcoding on devices or architecture dependencies on IPs.
