Direct Link: a sovereign bridge between your infrastructure and the OUTSCALE cloud, from France-IX’s 22 points of presence

Sur une scène marquée « OUTSCALE », un homme parle au micro à côté d’un homme assis, devant un écran qui affiche « Une collaboration de deux expertises », « Souveraineté, le meilleur des deux mondes » et les logos d’OUTSCALE et de France-IX.

50% of French Internet traffic travels over unidentified routes. This is data going who knows where. To address this, we have developed a solution with OUTSCALE.

France-IX points of presence in France

There is a lot of talk about digital sovereignty when it comes to the cloud, storage, certifications…

Yet it is on the transport side that part of the battle is being fought.

What good is a fortress if the drawbridge is down?

Today, half of French Internet traffic travels over unidentified routes.

The other half goes through direct interconnections with Netflix, Amazon and Google, which is very handy for streaming, but insufficient as soon as data becomes critical.

Especially when it comes to financial, medical or strategic data travelling over paths we do not control, through routers we do not know, subject to foreign jurisdictions.

Direct Link is a sovereign bridge between your infrastructure and the Outscale cloud, SecNumCloud-qualified and certified ISO 27001/17/18, HDS and TISAX.

From any of France-IX’s 22 points of presence in France, you can access the OUTSCALE infrastructure over a private, dedicated connection, with guaranteed bandwidth (from 200M to 10G) and ultra-low, ultra-stable latency.

The result? Your data never touches the public Internet.

We announced Direct Link on 9 June. The same day, we announced a first customer, the first to confirm market interest in securing not only data storage but the entire chain, data transport included!

You know where your data is hosted, but not which way it travels? If the answer is yes, Direct Link may be the right solution for you. Let’s talk!
