Who is InterCloud?
InterCloud is a private cloud connectivity provider that delivers managed, software-defined access between enterprise networks and public cloud services for multi-cloud and hybrid-cloud architectures.
- Managed private connectivity services to major public cloud platforms (cloud networking).
- Software Defined Networking (SDN) layer for routing enterprise traffic to multiple cloud regions and providers (SD-WAN / SDN).
- Performance, availability, and routing control for business-critical applications hosted across hybrid and multi-cloud environments (application networking).
- Security-focused connectivity models that keep traffic on private links rather than the public internet (network security).
- Consulting, design, and managed operations around enterprise cloud connectivity strategies (professional services).

More About InterCloud
InterCloud provides managed connectivity services that link enterprise data centers, branch sites, and private networks to public cloud platforms through private or dedicated links. Its services are used by enterprises that operate multi-cloud or hybrid-cloud environments and require deterministic network behavior between on-premises (on-prem) infrastructure and Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) or Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) providers. By inserting a software-defined network layer between enterprise WANs and cloud providers, InterCloud focuses on control over routing, performance, and security of cloud-bound traffic.
The company positions its offerings as an alternative or complement to connecting to public cloud endpoints over the open internet. Instead of relying on best-effort internet routing, InterCloud uses managed network paths and partnerships with carriers and cloud on-ramp facilities to provide more predictable latency and throughput. This approach is relevant for workloads such as ERP, data analytics, collaboration platforms, customer-facing applications, and APIs that depend on steady performance across regions and cloud environments.
InterCloud operates in the cloud networking and Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN) / SDN (software-defined networking) categories. Its platform exposes policy and control functions that allow network and cloud teams to define how traffic reaches specific cloud providers, regions, and services. Technically, this involves integration with standard IP routing, Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) or carrier Ethernet underlays where applicable, and cloud-provider-specific private connectivity constructs (network connectivity). The focus is on abstracting underlying carriers and transport technologies behind a single managed service and control interface.
Security and compliance are core elements of InterCloud’s positioning. By keeping traffic on private links and avoiding traversal of the public internet where possible, enterprises can align with governance requirements for data flows, reduce exposure to volumetric Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) risk on public ingress points, and centralize inspection or logging on defined network segments (network security). InterCloud also supports segmentation and policy-based routing models that allow enterprises to separate traffic types and enforce differentiated controls for production, development, or partner environments.
From a directory and marketplace perspective, InterCloud fits within enterprise cloud networking, multi-cloud connectivity, SD-WAN / SDN services, and managed network services. Typical buyers include network architects, cloud infrastructure teams, and IT operations leaders who manage connections to multiple public cloud providers and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platforms. The company’s service lines can be grouped into managed private cloud connectivity, software-defined cloud access, performance and routing optimization for cloud workloads, and advisory and managed operations around hybrid- and multi-cloud networking.
