Reduce CAPEX without additional hardware investments and lower OPEX with reliable performance, security and pay-as-you-go monthly billing plans
Streamlined provisioning through APIs of cloud service provider partners (CSPs) allows quick turn up of connectivity between workloads
Access Tier 1 service provider private networks equipped with automated failover, redundant connections and rapid MTTR
• High-speed network performance and uptime across a global Tier 1 high capacity network
• Single or double-path delivery plus network redundancy result in near 100 percent availability
• Dynamically scale bandwidth from 2M to 10G as requirements change and add VLANs as needed to accommodate new locations or workloads
• Scale bandwidth on-demand through pre-provisioned on-ramps deployed at more than 40 key IBX data centers inside and outside of Mainland China
• Intuitive, self-serve portal allows customers to dynamically add CSPs and add or modify interconnect capacity on demand
• Quickly provision secure, high-quality multi-cloud connections in as little as 1 week (for cloud-to-cloud links within ECP data center); 2 weeks (for DC to cloud links within ECP data center); 20-30 working days (for local loop)
• Fast delivery, scalability, and flexible billing options allow customers to deploy the right solution for their applications
• Includes end-to-end encryption and dedicated connectivity for data transfer between data centers and private or public clouds for a secure hybrid cloud environment

China Telecom Americas’ ECP currently provides seamless integration into the APIs of several of the world’s leading providers, including Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud (GCP), Alibaba Cloud, and Tencent Cloud.
While provisioning time varies by deployment type, it typically takes 1 week to configure cloud-to-cloud links within an ECP data center, and 2 weeks to provision a data center to cloud link within the ECP data center.
In private cloud environments located in a data center which already has an ECP point-of-presence (PoP), a cross connect is required between the ECP PoP to the customer’s rack. For on-prem environments a local MSTP is required to connect to the nearest ECP cloud PoP.
Customers can easily build an any-to-any connection by connecting to our nearest ECP PoP via MSTP, Internet VPN or Cross Connect. For existing customers, a dedicated trunk will be assigned on the MPLS PE router for the traffic between MPLS VPN sites and CSPs nodes using a layer 3 connection in this scenario.
