Which protocols does CTX support?
CTX is different from other solutions because we provide end to end connectivity, being able to extend your On-Premises network to the cloud regardless of the network protocols used by your company. Extend to the cloud networks using protocols such as MPLS, L3VPN, BGP, GRE, IPSec, EVPN Segment Routing, IS-IS, OSPF among many others.
What is CTX-Reflector?
CTX-R is our unique cloud route reflector solution. It synchronizes the BGP route tables of your local and cloud environments automatically, supporting BGP families such as: VPNv4, VPNv6, IPv4 Unicast, IPv6 Unicast.For more information, visit CTX-Reflector
What is the CTX-Controller?
The CTX-Controller is our centralized solution that will allow you to manage the entire CTX product portfolio.
How many connectors can I have on a CTX?
You can have as many connectors as you need, as long as the contracted bandwidth matches the capacity of the CTX-Hub
Do you offer consulting services to help companies design and implement a multicloud and hybrid connectivity strategy with CTX?
Yes, we offer personalized consulting services to help companies design, implement, and optimize their multicloud and hybrid connectivity strategy. No CTX is the same as another.
What is the SLA offered by CTX?
The SLA varies depending on platform customization factors, such as the connectors used, the number of backbone routes chosen, among others. We can offer SLAs of up to 99.95%.
Multi-cloud and hybrid connectivity
What is multicloud and hybrid connectivity?
Multicloud and hybrid connectivity is a strategy that involves using multiple cloud services (public cloud, private cloud, or different providers) and interconnecting these environments to optimize performance, security, and flexibility.
What is the difference between a public, private and hybrid cloud?
A public cloud is owned and operated by a third party and shared with other users. A private cloud is a cloud infrastructure dedicated to a single organization. A hybrid cloud combines elements of public and private clouds, allowing flexibility and control.
Why is multicloud and hybrid connectivity important for businesses?
Multicloud and hybrid connectivity allows businesses to leverage the best of each cloud platform, optimizing performance, security, and scalability while reducing costs and increasing flexibility.
What are the benefits of adopting a multicloud and hybrid connectivity strategy?
Benefits include data redundancy, flexibility to adapt to changing needs, cost optimization, improved performance and security, and risk mitigation.
What challenges do companies face when implementing a multicloud and hybrid connectivity strategy?
Some challenges include the complexity of managing multiple environments, interoperability between platforms, data security, and the need for careful planning and management.
Networking
What is Transitive Routing?
Transitive routing addresses limitations inherent in native VPC (Virtual Private Cloud) peering mechanisms, such as those observed in AWS, where transitive peering configurations are not directly supported. This restriction prevents direct communication between two VPCs that are only connected through a third intermediate VPC, rather than directly to each other. By facilitating indirect communication paths, transitive routing simplifies network management and reduces the need for establishing multiple direct connections, making it a versatile solution applicable to various cloud platforms, not just AWS.
What is GRE?
GRE is a tunneling protocol used to encapsulate a wide variety of network protocol packet types within point-to-point virtual links over an Internet Protocol network. It is used to carry packets of one protocol across a network that uses another protocol. For example, GRE can be used to carry IPv4 packets over an IPv6 network.
What is OSPF?
OSPF is a link-state routing protocol used to find the shortest path between a source node and a destination node in a multiprocess network, such as IP. It is a dynamic routing protocol primarily used in internal networks or intranets. It uses Dijkstra's algorithm to calculate the shortest path.
What is IS-IS?
IS-IS is a link-state routing protocol, similar to OSPF, used to determine optimal routes for packet forwarding across a network. It is mainly used in large and complex networks such as those of Internet service providers. Like OSPF, IS-IS also uses Dijkstra's algorithm for route selection.
What is MPLS?
MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching) is a packet-switching protocol used in telecommunications networks. It allows for efficient data traffic direction and prioritization by assigning labels to packets. These labels are used to route packets through the network according to predefined routes and quality of service (QoS) policies. MPLS is used in enterprise and service provider environments to create secure virtual private networks (VPNs) and software-defined wide area networks (SD-WAN), among other use cases.
What is Segment Routing?
Segment Routing is a routing technique in telecommunications networks that simplifies and improves the efficiency of data transmission. Instead of using traditional routing protocols, it assigns a unique identifier called a "segment" to each node or set of nodes along the transmission path. This allows for more direct and optimized routes, improving performance and reducing complexity in network management. Segment Routing is increasingly being adopted in software-defined networking environments and cloud infrastructures due to its ability to improve scalability and operational efficiency.
What is L3VPN?
L3VPN (Layer 3 Virtual Private Network) is a service that allows organizations to create virtual private networks using public or shared network infrastructure. It uses layer 3 routing technology to establish secure and private connections between multiple geographical locations, facilitating secure and reliable connectivity between dispersed business locations. This service is offered by network service providers and is useful for companies that need to efficiently and securely share network resources and data between different locations.
