The cloud plays an important role in the digital transformation of companies. After all, that is mainly where innovation takes place and it is happening at a rapid pace. More and more companies are migrating their data to the cloud: private, public or hybrid. Trend of the moment? The hybrid cloud solution in combination with a data center, the best of both worlds. At LCL you get a user-friendly, fast and flexible solution thanks to our partnership with Equinix.
Many new applications are installed in the cloud immediately and then scaled when successful. Developers therefore think of containers (Kubenetes and Docker) so that they function in different architectures.
But when do you choose which cloud solution? For rapidly scalable applications, the public cloud would appear to be appropriate. For workloads that do not need to be scaled, the preference is for the private cloud, because it is cheaper. Hybrid cloud combines the best of both worlds for a successful digital transformation: scalable and reliable.
New sector-oriented clouds are on the rise. Companies are given a free choice via multicloud environments.
In the LCL data centers you find the best location for a platform that connects to the public cloud: Azure Stack, AWS Outposts, Anthos, etc. Via ECX Fabric, this is even done with direct connections.
LCL establishes a connection within minutes: a FastConnect to Oracle, Azure ExpressRoute, AWS Direct Connect, IBM Cloud Direct Link, Alibaba Express Connect, Google Cloud Interconnect, OVHcloud Dedicated Connect, etc.

In short, the success of your IT solution only starts with a move to an LCL data center thanks to our network and digital ecosystem.
The data center is key in the architecture for cloud, and the best resources can be found at LCL.
The GAIA-X framework was set up based on European values, data privacy, data sovereignty, European legislation and data location. LCL joins this federated ecosystem as a GAIA-X node and forms a neutral place for data sharing.
Thanks to GAIA-X, users know where the data is stored. This results in better legal control options.
The hybrid cloud solution is on the rise in the business world. Major challenge? Integrating the different applications in a user-friendly way.
LCL uses Equinix Fabric (ECX Fabric™) in order to retain the overview. Specifically? You can put together a multicloud IT solution via a single port. You connect with the largest providers (e.g. Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform, Oracle, AWS, Alibaba, etc.) via the LCL connection platform. And you also change instant settings, e.g. the available bandwidth.
