CONNECTIVITY:

StormCloud also provides specialized wireless access and monitoring to hundreds of endpoints in Canada and the USA as part of the end-to-end managed solutions it provides to regulated industry sectors.

StormCloud can assist businesses with managed or unmanaged connectivity ranging from high bandwidth fibre to 5G standalone and private cellular networks.

HYPERSCALERS:

StormCloud has garnered praise for its work with Azure ExpressRoute. StormCloud is equally capable of implementing and, if desired, managing Direct Connect, GCP Interconnect and other hyperscaler connections.

The features and capabilities of Azure ExpressRoute, ASW Direct Connect, GCP InterConnect and other hyperscaler offerings differ somewhat. But more reliable connections, higher speeds, lower latencies and lower cost are common elements of these offerings. Important features such as high availability/redundancy, private or partner connections, and SLAs are also available depending on the hyperscaler option chosen.

StormCloud staff are also fluent in the technical and operation language of carriers which helps to ensure successful and timely deployment, particularly if the customer elects to go a direct connection route.
