(Pixabay) When Hong Kong-based telecoms company PCCW Global delved into the world of Silicon Valley VC-based tech start-ups to acquire a company called Console Connect in 2014, it is unlikely that too many cloud service providers or users took too much notice. But now the term multi-cloud has established itself, many of them may well be glad that it happened. PCCW Global owns and manages what it claims is one of the most diverse global fiber networks in the world, enabling it to operate a global IP and MPLS network that connects cities across Asia, Australasia, Middle East, Africa, Europe and the Americas. The acquisition of Console Connect added the ability to provide users with uncontended SLA-based services across this global fabric, with the ability to provide highly-scalable and flexible, high-speed point-to-point connectivity on demand.
