Overview

Service Overview

Samsung Cloud Platform provides a Direct Connect service that supports safe and fast connections between the customer’s network and the Samsung Cloud Platform environment.

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

Through Direct Connect, customers can seamlessly migrate their existing systems to Samsung Cloud Platform even if they hard-code IP addresses on devices or have architecture dependencies on IP.
