Office Connect for Hybrid Cloud Enterprise Networks
Once an organization adopts cloud services, office-to-cloud connectivity directly affects ERP, CRM, file synchronization, backup, databases, VDI, and internal systems. Office Connect uses Chunghwa Telecom last mile into the Server Plus backbone to integrate offices, branch sites, and cloud providers into a more stable hybrid-cloud network.

Server Plus Office Connect uses Chunghwa Telecom last-mile circuits to reach the Server Plus backbone, helping offices connect with GCP, AWS, Microsoft Azure, Aliyun, and other cloud services through a more stable, manageable, and cost-controlled hybrid-cloud design.
Why Office-to-Cloud Connectivity Needs a New Design
Many organizations have moved part of their systems to GCP, AWS, Microsoft Azure, Aliyun, or other cloud platforms while their offices still rely on ordinary business broadband or public-internet VPN. As users, branches, backup volumes, and cloud services grow, latency, jitter, unstable routing, and cross-border performance become operational issues.
Hybrid cloud is not simply placing servers in the cloud. Offices, branches, stores, data centers, and cloud services need stable, manageable, and cost-controlled connectivity.
- Office users accessing cloud ERP, CRM, or SaaS
- Integration between internal systems and cloud VMs or databases
- NAS and backup synchronization with cloud storage
- Stable branch-to-cloud application access
- Routing and latency management for cross-border cloud services
Office Connect Positioning for Hybrid Cloud
Office Connect brings the office in through a Chunghwa Telecom last-mile circuit, then into the Server Plus backbone. Server Plus can plan routing from there to cloud providers, IDC, VPS, enterprise static IP space, or other locations according to requirements.
This shifts cloud connectivity from individual services using the public internet to an enterprise network architecture planned as one system, making routing, bandwidth, static IPs, redundancy, and security boundaries easier to manage.
- Office access through last mile into the Server Plus backbone
- Traffic planning toward GCP, AWS, Azure, Aliyun, and other cloud services
- Optional static IP, static routing, BGP, and firewall policy
- Integration with Taiwan VPS, IDC, backup, and vulnerability-scanning services
How It Differs from a General Public-Internet VPN
Public IPsec VPN and GRE tunnels are easy to deploy, but their quality depends on both ISPs, internet routing, peak congestion, encryption overhead, and cross-border paths. That may be acceptable for infrequent management traffic, but long-term stability and troubleshooting efficiency become important for daily cloud systems, file synchronization, and backups.
Office Connect brings office access and backbone routing into the design so enterprise cloud connectivity has stronger stability, routing control, and operational responsibility boundaries.
- Reduces uncertainty from relying only on public internet routing
- Improves management of latency, jitter, and cross-border routing quality
- Plans cloud services, static IPs, and firewall policy together
- Easier to troubleshoot and operate than multiple public VPNs
Suitable Enterprise Scenarios
If an organization already uses cloud VMs, cloud databases, cloud backup, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, cross-border SaaS, ERP, CRM, or cloud monitoring, office-to-cloud quality is not just an internet issue. It is an infrastructure issue.
Office Connect suits organizations seeking a more flexible model than traditional leased lines and more stable connectivity than a general public-internet VPN.
- Interconnection between offices and GCP, AWS, Azure, or Aliyun resources
- Hybrid-cloud architecture during gradual internal-system migration
- Stores or branches requiring stable cloud-service access
- Stable transmission for backup, file synchronization, and monitoring data
- Planning static IPs, routing control, firewall, and cloud services together
Availability and Planning
Office Connect can currently be evaluated for Taipei City, New Taipei City, and Keelung. The final design is planned around office address, target bandwidth, cloud platforms, static IP needs, routing method, firewall policy, and redundancy requirements.
For an inquiry, prepare the current cloud platforms, key applications, traffic directions, bandwidth requirement, need for static IP or BGP, and any branch, store, or data-center interconnection requirements.
FAQ
Is Office Connect the same as AWS Direct Connect or Azure ExpressRoute?
No. Office Connect is an enterprise access solution that reaches the Server Plus backbone from an office and plans connectivity to cloud services, IDC, VPS, or other locations. If a native cloud private-connect product is required, its architecture can be evaluated separately.
Is a VPN still needed after using Office Connect?
That depends on security policy. Office Connect improves access and routing quality, while IPsec, SSL VPN, firewall rules, or zero-trust controls can remain as required at upper layers.
Which areas can be served?
Taipei City, New Taipei City, and Keelung can currently be evaluated. Actual service depends on address, circuit resources, construction conditions, and required speed.
