Private Backbone — Advanced Connectivity
Take full control of your network with extended level 2 connectivity, designed for hybrid architectures and custom configurations.
Cloud Temple's Private Backbone is our legacy connectivity product, designed for experts. Based on a level 2 (VPLS) network infrastructure, it allows you to create extended private networks between availability zones within a region. It is the ideal solution for companies looking to build complex hybrid cloud architectures and maintain total control over their network topology.
Concepts
VPLS architecture, regional private networks, Internet access, IPv4/IPv6 public addressing.

The Private Backbone provides a comprehensive set of low-level services to interconnect and expose your infrastructures in a sovereign cloud. It consists of two pillars:
- Private Networks (VPLS): Creation of extended and isolated level 2 networks between availability zones, ideal for complex hybrid architectures.
- Internet Access: High-performance Internet connectivity with public IP address allocation (IPv4/IPv6) and native Anti-DDoS protection.
For more automated network management, our VPC (Virtual Private Cloud) product is the recommended solution.
