Get started

Secure, Scalable and AI-ready cloud connectivity

IBM Cloud® Transit Gateway is a secure, scalable, and cost-efficient network service that simplifies connectivity across VPCs, Power Virtual Server, VMware, and on-premises environments. It is built to support high-performance, AI-driven architectures—enabling seamless data movement for GenAI, hybrid cloud, and enterprise applications.

 

 

Benefits

Connectivity

Connect VPCs, PowerVS, VMware, and on-prem across regions via a private network with global routing and 99.99% SLA.

Security

Keep traffic off the public internet using private routing to reduce exposure.

Agility

Scale workloads dynamically across multiple regions, with no single point of failure.

Efficiency

Simplify operations and reduce overhead by centralizing routing, no need for manual peering or multiple VPNs.

Features

AI-ready connectivity

Enable secure, high-speed data movement across VPCs and regions to support distributed AI and generative AI workloads.

Private routing

Ensure end-to-end data security through isolated network paths and IAM-controlled access, maintaining private connectivity without relying on public networks.

Global network reach

Connect workloads across 43 availability zones with built-in multi-region routing and no replication lag.

Resilient architecture

Ensure fault tolerance and high availability with zone-local prioritization and automatic failover routing.

Hybrid cloud integration

Seamlessly extend on-premises networks into IBM Cloud using Direct Link and GRE tunnels, ideal for AI data pipelines.

Simplified operations

Avoid VPN sprawl and manual peering with centralized, scalable network management for cloud-native and legacy apps.
