Incorporating Oracle Network Cloud Service FastConnect into the AT&T NetBond for Cloud ecosystem gives business customers another cloud service migration option. It allows organizations to manage and access Oracle Cloud services through secure and dedicated connectivity.
This model provides highly secure connectivity, strong reliability, and an improved end-user experience for organizations running Oracle workloads in cloud environments.
With this alliance, customers get secure access to a major cloud provider while also supporting business strategies that require high-bandwidth connectivity. By connecting through an Oracle FastConnect Partner, such as an IP VPN, MPLS VPN network service provider, or data center exchange provider, businesses can build reliable access to Oracle Cloud services.
For organizations managing Oracle-based enterprise workloads, this type of connectivity can also support hosted Oracle Primavera environments and broader cloud modernization goals.
Steps
1. Log in to the AT&T Cloud Service Portal.
2. Go to Home, then My Cloud Dashboard, then AT&T NetBond for Cloud service management.
3. Choose Oracle Cloud from the CSP list and select the region where FastConnect should be enabled.
4. Click Create VNC (Virtual Network Connection) and enter the required parameters:
● Routing domain
● VNC type
● VNC name
● VPN name
● Minimum bandwidth commitment in Mbps
5. Wait for the VNC to be created.
6. Once the VNC is ready, create the VLAN inside the VNC.
7. After the VLAN is created, access the Service Key that must be sent to Oracle through an SR.
8. Open the SR on the Oracle side:
● Service type: Oracle Network Cloud Service - FastConnect
● Problem type: Issues with account or provisioning of your FastConnect
9. Wait 1 to 2 business days for Oracle to complete the configuration. Once completed, the status in the OCI Web UI changes to Provisioned.
