Unlocking the digital economy with interconnectivity
73% of mid to large businesses lack an interconnectivity strategy, but without it, multi-national corporations leave themselves open to application disruption.
Network as a Service (NaaS) is a cloud-based model for providing network services. It eliminates the need for traditional network infrastructure by offering scalable, flexible networking solutions like VPNs, SD-WAN, or bandwidth on demand.
How does Global Fabric support cloud connectivity and multi-cloud environments?
Provisioning new connections and scaling bandwidth can be done within minutes through the digital platform. The platform is designed for multi-cloud connectivity, allowing businesses to seamlessly connect to multiple cloud providers with unified control. It simplifies workload distribution across different environments whilst maintaining security, performance and compliance.
What makes Global Fabric different from traditional networking solutions?
Unlike traditional static networks, BT Global Fabric offers a flexible, software-defined approach to connectivity. It enables real-time provisioning, automated traffic management, and built-in monitoring, all while eliminating the need for costly and time-consuming manual configurations. This results in greater agility, cost efficiency, and improved application performance.
What API capabilities does Global Fabric offer and how can I integrate with existing workflows?
BT Global Fabric provides a comprehensive set of APIs that allow businesses to automate network provisioning, real-time monitoring and configuration management. With RESTful APIs, users can seemlessly integrate the platform into their existing systems, enabling tasks such as automated bandwidth scaling, connection health checks, and traffic optimisation - all from their preferred tools and dashboards. The API is designed to integrate easily with existing IT and cloud management tools, including automation frameworks like Terraform, Ansible, and cloud-native orchestration platforms.
How does the platform help managing costs?
With real-time utilisation insights and customizable alerts, businesses can proactively manage bandwidth to prevent unexpected costs. The flexible pay-as-you-go model ensures that companies only pay for what they use, helping them optimise expenses and avoid bill shocks.
How quickly can I deploy and scale connectivity?
Provisioning new connections and scaling bandwidth can be done within minutes through the digital platform. With just a few clicks, businesses can adapt their network to changing needs without long lead times or complex configurations.
