DCNet

Providing Layer 2 Ethernet connectivity between Asian & U.S. data centres.

DCNet is a private Ethernet network solution connecting more than 70 of the top data centres (DC) in Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, and the United States. With network equipment already installed in these data centres, connectivity is pre-wired. DCNet is designed to meet the needs of business continuity planning (BCP), data center diversification, and business expansion by connecting enterprises with their customers, partners and suppliers.

Simplified & Cost Effective

Subscribe to a 1G or 10G port (100BASE-LX or 10GBASE-LR interfaces) and choose either a "pay-as-you-grow" model with usage billing or a committed bandwidth option. All 1G and 10G port charges are unified across all our data centres, with bandwidth charges being one of the most competitive and cost-effective in the market. 

Quick Delivery

Network provisioning between data centre sites can be completed between 5 to 10 business days. Customers will only need to simply cross connect to the respective Meet Me Rooms to seamlessly bridge multiple facilities over different countries. 

Wide Coverage

Bursting on-Demand

DCNet's usage-based bandwidth allows the user to dynamically burst their bandwidth to cater to traffic fluctuations between sites.
