For over 25 years, Google has pushed the boundaries of the network, with innovations that connect billions of users around the world to essential services like Gmail, YouTube, and Search. At the foundation lies Google's vast backbone network. With 202 points of presence (PoPs), powered by over 2 million miles of fiber, 33 subsea cables, and backed by a 99.99% reliability SLA, Google's network provides a robust and resilient global platform.?

That same planet-scale network infrastructure powers Google Cloud and our Cross-Cloud Network solutions. And today we are announcing that Google’s global network is available for all businesses and governments to use with our new Cloud WAN solution.

Cloud WAN is a fully managed, reliable, and secure enterprise backbone to transform enterprise wide area network (WAN) architectures. It leverages Google’s planet-scale network, which is optimized for application performance. Cloud WAN provides up to 40% faster performance¹ compared to the public internet, and up to a 40% savings² in total cost of ownership (TCO) over a customer-managed WAN solution.

The evolution of the enterprise WAN

Traditionally, enterprises relied heavily on multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) networks for secure and reliable site-to-site connectivity — a high-cost approach. However, the rapid adoption of SaaS and cloud applications necessitated a transformation, leading to the emergence of SD-WAN with direct internet access (DIA), a lower-cost alternative that leveraged the internet. Then, to enhance application performance, enterprises built colocation-based cloud on-ramps, which, while improving latency, introduced complexity and costs. This evolution led to a proliferation of security stacks, with a mix of security service edge (SSE) and self-managed appliances, creating an inconsistent security posture.?

Consequently, enterprise connectivity has become inherently complex and difficult to manage, marked by diverse networks with fragmented security, and requiring a constant balancing of reliability, speed, and cost.?

The rapid emergence of AI has placed additional demands on enterprise networks. AI-based applications require a highly distributed infrastructure that is often spread across different clouds and on-premises data centers, and need a global network that can scale massively, provide robust security and privacy, and make efficient use of resources, all while remaining cost-effective.

To address these needs, Cloud WAN offers a unified enterprise network solution for securely and reliably connecting across any enterprise site, application and user, while helping to ensure optimal performance and reducing costs.

Cloud WAN enables two key use cases: providing high-performance connectivity between geographically dispersed data centers, and connecting branch and campus environments over our Premium Tier network.

Use case 1: High performance, cross-region connectivity?

Large, global customers with extensive data center networks need to be able to move large amounts of data reliably. Cloud WAN offers flexible connectivity options for linking geographically dispersed data centers, providing a modern alternative to traditional solutions that have limited capacity, high cost of operations, and lower reliability.

This use case is enabled by these core capabilities:

Cloud Interconnect provides private and dedicated low-latency connections between Google Cloud regions and on-prem data centers, allowing you to connect your data center to Google Cloud from over 159 locations around the globe.

Cross-Cloud Interconnect enables multicloud connectivity between Google Cloud and other public cloud environments, including AWS, Azure and OCI, and is available in 21 locations.?

Now, with Cross-Site Interconnect, we’re enabling dedicated point-to-point layer 2 private 10/100G connectivity optimized to connect applications between data centers, and that is designed for enterprises, government agencies, and telecom operators. With Cross-Site Interconnect, Google Cloud becomes the first major cloud provider to offer transparent layer 2 connectivity over its network. Currently in preview in select countries, we’ll expand it to additional edge locations in the coming year.

Key benefits of Cross-Site Interconnect include:?

• Enterprise-grade performance: With an SLA and built-in redundancy, and Google’s high performance global network, Cross-Site Interconnect is a high-bandwidth (10/100G) data center interconnect solution.

• Global reach and capacity: Cross-Site Interconnect runs over Google Cloud's global backbone, a network of over 2 million miles of fiber, with international capacity for trans-Atlantic and trans-Pacific networks.

• Optimized for risk and cost: Cross-Site Interconnect leverages redundant fiber infrastructure to dynamically reroute network traffic around physical network and optical-fiber failures, helping to maintain consistent service availability.?

Note: Google Cloud additionally supports scalable layer 3 routing solutions with Network Connectivity Center (NCC). Please see the next section for details.?

“Having a scalable and reliable global network is critical as we continue to expand our research efforts and host performance sensitive workloads on Google Cloud. We look forward to leveraging the stability and reliability we have seen with Google’s Cloud WAN to meet the growing needs in our hybrid networks.” - Chris Dee, Head of Cloud Platform Engineering, Citadel Securities

Use case 2: Migrate branch and campus networks

Google’s Premium Tier network serves as a powerful cloud on-ramp, helping to securely connect branch offices and campuses to public cloud resources, SaaS applications, and the internet. Cloud WAN is a unified, fully managed solution that extends the performance and reliability of Google's trusted network directly to enterprises, enabling on-demand, any-to-any connectivity with inherent security and a lower TCO. Furthermore, our open yet tightly integrated ecosystem empowers enterprises with the choice of best-in-class security and network services, fostering flexibility and tailored solutions.
