What is the primary benefit of using OCI FastConnect?

The primary benefit of using OCI FastConnect is its ability to create a dedicated and private connection between the on-premises network and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, which significantly reduces dependence on internet connections. This dedicated connection enhances the security, reliability, and performance of the network traffic as it avoids the public internet. Users can experience more stable and predictable latencies, higher bandwidth options, and increased control over data transfer. FastConnect allows organizations to bypass the public internet, making it a preferred solution for scenarios requiring enhanced data security and consistent network performance.

Other options may offer benefits in different scenarios, such as broader geographic coverage or lower costs, but these are not the primary drivers of adopting FastConnect. The core advantage revolves around establishing a reliable, private link that minimizes vulnerabilities associated with internet connectivity.
