What are the FastConnect connectivity models?

FastConnect offers three connectivity models: Colocation with Oracle means your equipment is in the same data center as Oracle (direct cross-connect). Partner network uses a third-party network provider (like Equinix, Megaport, or AT&T) to connect your data center to Oracle. Third-party provider offers pre-established connectivity through select providers. Each model supports both private peering (access VCN resources) and public peering (access Oracle public services over the private link).

How do I achieve redundancy with FastConnect?

Oracle recommends provisioning at least two FastConnect virtual circuits, ideally through different providers or in different physical locations. Each virtual circuit establishes an independent BGP session with your on-premises router. If one circuit fails, BGP automatically reroutes traffic to the remaining circuit. For maximum resilience, combine FastConnect with IPSec VPN as a backup path that activates if both FastConnect circuits are unavailable.

About This Tool

OCI FastConnect provides dedicated, private, high-bandwidth connections between your on-premises data center and OCI, bypassing the public internet for lower latency and more consistent throughput. FastConnect supports 1 Gbps, 10 Gbps, and 100 Gbps circuits through Oracle partners, colocation providers, or direct cross-connects at Oracle data centers. This builder helps you configure FastConnect virtual circuits with BGP settings, bandwidth shapes, cross-connect groups, and redundancy configurations for production-grade hybrid connectivity.

When to Use This Tool

•Planning a redundant FastConnect setup with two virtual circuits through different providers for high-availability hybrid connectivity
•Configuring a private peering virtual circuit with BGP ASN settings and route filtering for selective on-premises route advertisement
•Building a FastConnect configuration through an Oracle partner network when your data center is not colocated with Oracle
•Setting up public peering to access Oracle services (Object Storage, OCI APIs) over the private FastConnect connection instead of the internet
