What is the primary benefit of using FastConnect in OCI?

The primary benefit of using FastConnect in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) is low-latency private connectivity. FastConnect provides a dedicated, high-speed network connection between on-premises data centers or co-location facilities and Oracle's cloud services. This direct connection allows for greater reliability and lower latency compared to traditional internet-based connections.

By utilizing FastConnect, organizations can achieve improved performance for their cloud workloads, especially for data-intensive applications that require consistent and fast data transfer rates. The private nature of the connectivity also enhances security by reducing exposure to potential threats associated with public internet traffic. This combination of low latency and high reliability makes FastConnect a compelling choice for enterprises looking to optimize their cloud networking experience.
