What PacketFabric is
PacketFabric provides on-demand cloud access, Internet, and point-to-point connectivity through an API-driven platform. Its hybrid cloud service offers hosted and dedicated connections from hundreds of data centers to cloud and SaaS providers, with speeds from 50Mbps to 100Gbps. PacketFabric describes its private optical network as 65+ Tbps and supports up to 4,000 virtual circuits per network port. Cloud partners include AWS Direct Connect, Google Cloud Interconnect, Azure ExpressRoute, IBM Direct Link, Oracle FastConnect, Salesforce Express Connect, Markley, and Webair. Customers can automate services through a standards-based REST API and Terraform provider, or provision and manage services in a self-service portal. Internet Exchange connections are also available through that portal. For cloud connectivity, customers need a physical cross-connect between their equipment and the access port; dedicated connections also require a cloud-provider LOA and may take several days to provision. Pricing is handled inside the PacketFabric Portal; terms range from month-to-month to 36 months. Support is available 24/7, 365 days a year.
