Managed Cloud Exchange vs. Existing Cloud Exchange
The existing Cloud Exchange offering requires a Do It Yourself (DIY) approach where it is available to customers at no charge and they deploy and manage the solution using in-house resources whereas Managed CE is provided as a hosted solution by Crest Data via AWS Marketplace to customers on a Contract + Pay-as-you-go basis, removing the need for customers to deploy and manage CE on their own. Customers must subscribe for a monthly or an annual subscription (that includes support). The customer's CE instance will be hosted in Crest Data AWS environment. Below are the key benefits of Managed CE.
- Managed Offering - Cloud Exchange is Hosted, Monitored, and Maintained 24x7 by Netskope-certified Consultants.
- Freedom of Managing - Free up your Security Personnel from the need to Provision, Deploy, and Manage.
- Save Money - Managed CE is at least 30% cheaper compared to on-prem Cloud Exchange.
- Faster Updates - Managed CE gets updates, bug fixes, and upgrades 3X faster than the on-prem CE.
- High Availability & Uptime - Managed CE assures a 99.9% Uptime across 2 availability zones.
